A proper grip will also give you better control of the club during the swing.

Does anybody have a blister on the top of the ring finger of their right hand ? I have one that persists even with a very loose grip.

I'm always fighting a tendency to collapse my left arm just prior to impact, which allows my left wrist to collapse and produces duck hooks off the toe. I've recently been concentrating on maintaining a firm left arm through impact, keeping the left wrist flat or slightly bowed at impact. My shots have improved, but this glove thing is new, so I know I'm doing something wrong.

I've never had this problem before and I know these gloves aren't defective because I've worn holes in the last six I've purchased.

Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong? I can't help but think my grip must be defective, allowing the club to twist in my left hand during the swing.

Where should a golf glove show signs of wear or stress if the player is gripping the club properly?

Thank you

I seem to wear a hole on my L hand index finger an the right side of my palm

If you're tired of buying new gloves while you work out this issue try putting a bit of duct tape on the spot that tears.

It's hardy stuff -- not as tacky as the glove, but if it's only a (relatively) small piece it shouldn't make a difference. 

And if you don't want the 'classy' silver duct-tape look, I know they sell a lot of different colors and 'team-logo' duct tape these days too.

I have only done this twice. It worked best when I put the duct tape on before the hole arrived.

Does anyone here know what could be the reason there is a total wear on my left thumb ? ( I am a right handed golfer ).

I have almost zero wear on the rest of the parts of the glove. Only the left thumb !

I wear holes in the same location and my Pro tells me it is 100% grip pressure.  Way too tight I guess. 

I was wearing big holes in my glove within 100 balls.  I could put on a brand new glove and put a hole in it the size of a quarter within an hour at the driving range.  This kept happening over and over again.  The hole was always on the palm, closest to my pinky finger.

For months I thought it was because I gripped the club too hard, held it too close to the end, or had too small of a glove.  Working on those issues didn't seem to have any effect on my problem though.

Then someone at Golfsmith explained to me that this was being caused by my glove actually being too loose.  I switched from a large/extra large to a medium/large.  This new size glove is definitely a tight fit, but my problem was completely solved instantly. 

Hope this helps some of you out there...
