Great golf glove. Have always used Titleist of FootJoy...but bought this one because they were out of my size at a proshop when I needed a glove. The best thing about this glove is that it's thin, but very durable. Unlike some other players gloves, this one holds up better and doesn't get stiff once it has been sweated in. Play in Texas, so keeping a glove dry is hard to do....but this one holds up and I will buy another.

Good fitting gloves, not very durable. I am now using the Mizuno Retroflex, same fit, but softer and more durable. If you check the Mizuno site, I think they discontinued the SkinTite model.

I don't usually wear a glove. But my hands were torn up this spring so I bought a glove. I bought this Mizuno glove in particular. I am STILL using this same glove. When I used to wear gloves in the past they didn't last long at all. This one is amazing.

Mizuno makes a nice glove. Bionic makes the best glove out there, especially if you have had hand surgery or any other hand problems. A little extra in cost, but more durable and easier on the these old mitts of mine.

Cinco said on August 29, 2008:

Have you ever had the seam from a golf glove come right across your thumb?

I am picky with golf gloves too, and this is one of my pet peeves about golf gloves. I am wondering if I have a deformed thumb, or if this is happened to anyone else?

Let me explain a little better...it seems like there is always a seam on the thumb and this tends to lay right across the padding on my thumb. So, the seam of the glove is pressed in between my thumb and the grip of the club. I feel the seam and it bothers the crap out of me.

Anyone?

This usually happens to me, I don't think it is annoying to feel, just to look at. Maybe I need to switch out of FJ gloves.

I also play in humid hot conditions and am picky about my gloves. Have you tried switching between two or more gloves, changing to a fresh one on each hole? Not only does your glove have time to dry before you use it on the next hole, but it will last longer. I prefer the thinner players gloves and can get through a year with about a dozen gloves. I think that is reasonable when you consider that I average three to four rounds per week. If cost is a conderation and it is for most of us, you might try Master Grips DynaGrip Elite Glove. You buy one/get one.So I pay for six and get 12.

3M has discontinued the Greptile golf glove. It was the best glove I have ever used. If I new sooner I would have bought a case.

I'll consider the Mizuno as a replacement.

Mizuno are definitely underrated for their golf gloves... I have used them in past and they are certainly durable but a little thick for my taste...with this new version it seems they have addressed the only criticism left

Excellent review about an often little considered product. I use Titleist's Players glove or FootJoy's equivalent. I find those gloves are great for the first couple of rounds, but in the heat and humidity of a typical Mississippi summer, they just don't retain their tackiness. They quickly become too slick and are relegated to the old glove pile (which, eventually, reluctantly, is thrown out with other household detritus). Ergo, additional expense is incurred replacing them. I shall try the Mizuno glove in hopes that it will last longer than the almost $20 or more gloves from Titleist or FootJoy.

And, certainly, were it not for this review, I would never consider a Mizuno glove; probably because I didn't know they put their name on one.

The absence of that little golf button marker is indication that it is a "players" glove. Look at the Titleist players glove..sans button also. I think they are actually pretty tacky and one of my pet peeves when I actually see someone trying to snap this button back on after they mark their ball with it.
