Golf Gloves

Most golfers wear a glove on their lead hand: the left hand for a right-handed golfer and the right hand for a left-handed golfer. We recommend checking the hand shown on the product listing before ordering. Rain and winter gloves may come as a pair to provide grip or warmth on both hands.

Your glove should feel snug across the palm and fingers, with no loose material bunching up when you grip the club. It should not restrict your hand or feel uncomfortable. We would avoid buying an oversized glove for comfort, as excess movement can make it harder to maintain a consistent hold.

Check the brand's fitting guide. A common method uses the circumference of your hand around the knuckles, excluding your thumb, together with the length of your middle finger. We suggest using both measurements where requested, as finger length and palm width can point to different fits even when the overall size appears similar.

Leather gloves are often chosen for their soft feel and close contact with the grip. All-weather gloves commonly use synthetic materials, sometimes combined with leather, to balance feel, durability and value. We would choose around your priorities, but remember that an all-weather glove is not necessarily waterproof or a substitute for a dedicated rain glove.

Rain gloves use materials designed to maintain grip in wet conditions. Some are specifically intended to work well when damp, unlike a conventional leather glove. We recommend keeping a suitable pair in your bag if you play through rain, and checking the manufacturer's instructions for how that particular glove should be used.

Both options exist, depending on the brand and model. A pair helps you maintain wet-weather grip with both hands, while a single glove replaces your usual lead-hand glove. We suggest checking the product title, hand selection and pack contents before ordering so you receive the option you need.

Winter golf gloves are designed to be worn while playing, balancing warmth with grip. Golf mittens are generally used between shots and removed before you swing. We would choose winter gloves for cold hands during play and add mittens if you want extra warmth while walking or waiting on the tee.

Let it dry naturally after use, gently reshape it and avoid leaving it crumpled in a damp pocket. Rotating between gloves gives each one time to dry. We also recommend checking the fit and keeping your grips clean, as unnecessary movement and dirt can contribute to wear. Replace a glove once it loses reliable grip.

A golf glove is as important to you and your game as wearing the right size shoes or using the correctly fitted golf clubs and golf balls. However, many golfers tend to neglect this part of their game, and you often see players not wearing the right size golf glove. After all, the golf glove is the closest point of contact to the clubhead than any other piece of your equipment. If you are not wearing a correctly fitted glove, this can cause movement and compromise your swing. So, a correct fit is crucial to your game; as we all know, the little details can make a big difference in golf!

Here are some key points to consider when wearing a golf glove. 

• Fits Like A Second Skin: A correctly fitted golf glove should feel like a second skin. It should be tight, with no loose material, across the palm and fingers. 
• Fingers Should Be Snug: You should not have excess material at the top of your fingers. If this occurs, you may consider trying the next glove size down. 
• Room to Adjust Closure: The closure tab should only come about 75% off across the back of your hand. It would help to leave a quarter uncovered to allow adjustments while playing. 

How To Determine Your Golf Glove Size

It is estimated that more than 50% of golfers do not wear golf gloves of the right size for their game. Most wear gloves that are too big. 

You need to take two simple measurements to determine your golf glove size using the size guide.

• First, measure the length of your middle finger.
• Then measure the circumference of your hand, measure around the first knuckle (excluding the thumb)
• It would be best if you ended up with a measurement that looks something like this - ("8.5" x "11")

Using the FootJoy size chart, this will then correlate into a glove size such as (Small, Medium, Medium/Large, Large, or X-large)

Sizing Tips

• If you fall between two sizes, try the smaller size first.
• If your size differs from what you usually wear, try the size we recommend first.
• If your Finger Length and Palm Width numbers differ by more than 2, you will want to try on several sizes to determine the best compromise.
• For some men, a Women's golf glove may be your best option. Several tour players wear Women's gloves on tour for optimal performance.
• Always try the glove on to ensure proper fit.
• Check your size at the start of every season; it can change over time.
• Be sure to read Are you wearing the right size glove? Before making a final glove size determination.
