Golf Gloves

Are You Wearing The Right Size Glove?

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 will often see many players not wearing the right size golf glove for them. 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 for them. 

You need to take two simple measurements to determine your golf glove size in relation to 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 number 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.

Here at The Golf Shop Online, we stock a wide range of golf gloves to suit different playing conditions, fits, and preferences. The right glove helps with grip, comfort, and control, making it an important part of your setup.

Golf gloves from leading brands such as FootJoy, Titleist, and Callaway are well-regarded for their consistent quality and fit. These brands focus on materials that balance feel and durability, using soft leather, synthetic fabrics, or a mix of both to suit different needs. Many models are designed to perform reliably in warm, wet, or changeable conditions.

When choosing a golf glove, fit should be your starting point. A snug fit helps maintain feel and prevents slipping during the swing. Leather gloves offer excellent feel and comfort, while synthetic options tend to last longer and hold up better in damp weather. Some golfers prefer to rotate their gloves regularly, which is why we also offer additional multibuy deals to make it easier to keep a fresh glove ready for each round.
