Now, I know gloves dont have much of a life to them but I have a Titlelist Perma-Soft glove that has 3 rounds on it, and there is a hole forming in the thumb already.

What gloves can i get that will last longer than 3 rounds?

I too am curious as to how long a glove should last. However, 3 rounds doen't sound right to me. Maybe you are gripping with to much pressure.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Three rounds is awfully short for glove life, even if you have grips that accelerate wear faster than others. I have 10 pair of Footjoys that I cycle every three to six holes. Some are going on three years and I have not worn a hole in any of the ones I have tossed. All have been because of sweat or rain killing or stretching the leather.

You could try a synthetic glove like FootJoy WeatherSof. Synthetics tend to last a little longer than leathers due to the material. Leather gloves will always wear faster than others. The advantage of leather however is the soft feel and touch you get from them, versus the relative lack of feel from a synthetic.

I use Titleist Players, or Players Tech gloves, and I love the feel they give me.

Ive had really good luck with Mizuno Retroflex gloves. They seem to hold up really well and dont turn black like some other gloves I tried.
I tried a Footjoy Weathersof and after about 5 rounds it was junk.
Id say I have at least 10 rounds on the Retroflex I have now and it still looks like I just took it out of the wrapper.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

Ive had really good luck with Mizuno Retroflex gloves.

That's interesting, my friend tried one of those and lost it after 1 day. I have not tried it, but after what my friend said I never did, but I may try it since you said it's pretty good.

Lately I have been using the Ping M-Fit and that is a very very durable glove for me, and I mean I will hit 500+ golf balls a day, plus I also play 18 holes. But when I was in Oregon I tried the Nike Dry Fit Tour (the one with the mesh stuff on the back of the glove.) and so far those have with-stood about a week so far, and they have done so very well, almost like the Ping's. Now I would like to say that I feel durability also has to do with how the glove fits. I used to use FootJoy gloves, they fit alright, but if I wore Men's Small they are a little loose which caused them to move a little and I feel this contributed to not lasting very long. The Ping and Nike gloves run a bit smaller, and so the Men's Small fits my hands well and comfortably tight, which I think adds to durability. If I have to buy FJ gloves (if there is nothing else to get) I will buy a women's glove so I get they same comfortably tight fit.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

If your only concern is its life then the Nike Dura Feel is your best bet, but it's not very comfortable. Someone else mentioned the Taylormade Targa Tour glove which is also what I use. It's extremely comfortable and it will last you a good long time.

Also, while were on the subject of gloves, keep all your gloves in a Ziploc baggy; it keeps them from getting crusty and disgusting.

you guys are rough on gloves. I use cord grips and my gloves last me about 3 weeks which is about 15 rounds plus 20 hours of practice. I keep my glove on the entire round also. I am not sure if that helps. If you are wearing your glove out really fast you need to check your grip pressure at the end of the backswing. you are probably losing the club in your hands

I use Nike Durafeel and they are pretty comfortable after a few rounds. I have gone through two pairs since May. (21 rounds)

I am not so sure I totaly agree with that. I have some that seem to last a long time and others which I feel are crap and lasted just a few rounds. I have gone to fulll cord grips on all clubs and do not use a glove a present but if I did, it would be the Nike. I had the best luck there before I went glove-less

For leather gloves, the Ben Hogan Apex ( made of kangaroo leather ) used to be a very nice glove, thin and last a long long time 3 gloves for 2 seasons ( approx. 30 rounds for each glove ).

I agree; I have cord grips, and my FJ Sci-flex gloves last me a month or more with combined play and practice.

      @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Wish I could have spent 5 minutes in the middle of the morning round to hit some balls at the range. Just did much more of right side through with keeping the shoulders feeling level (not dipping), and I was flushing them. Lol. Maybe too much focus on hands stuff while playing.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Last year I made an excel that can easily measure with my own SG data the average score for each club of the tee. Even the difference in score if you aim more left or right with the same club. I like it because it can be tweaked to account for different kind of rough, trees, hazards, greens etc.     As an example, On Par 5's that you have fescue on both sides were you can count them as a water hazard (penalty or punch out sideways), unless 3 wood or hybrid lands in a wider area between the fescue you should always hit driver. With a shorter club you are going to hit a couple less balls in the fescue than driver but you are not going to offset the fact that 100% of the shots are going to be played 30 or more yards longer. Here is a 560 par 5. Driver distance 280 yards total, 3 wood 250, hybrid 220. Distance between fescue is 30 yards (pretty tight). Dispersion for Driver is 62 yards. 56 for 3 wood and 49 for hybrid. Aiming of course at the middle of the fairway (20 yards wide) with driver you are going to hit 34% of balls on the fescue (17% left/17% right). 48% to the fairway and the rest to the rough.  The average score is going to be around 5.14. Looking at the result with 3 wood and hybrid you are going to hit less balls in the fescue but because of having longer 2nd shots you are going to score slightly worst. 5.17 and 5.25 respectively.    Things changes when the fescue is taller and you are probably going to loose the ball so changing the penalty of hitting there playing a 3 wood or hybrid gives a better score in the hole.  Off course 30 yards between penalty hazards is way to small. You normally have 60 or more, in that cases the score is going to be more close to 5 and been the Driver the weapon of choice.  The point is to see that no matter how tight the hole is, depending on the hole sometimes Driver is the play and sometimes 6 irons is the play. Is easy to see that on easy holes, but holes like this:  you need to crunch the numbers to find the best strategy.
