No glove. No need for a glove.

Persoanlly, I rock the glove. My buddy though, swears by not using one. Also, he says he plays better without wearing golf shoes. Go figure.

I definitely have to wear a glove. If I didn't, I would be throwing golf clubs left and right. My hands sweat a lot for some reason, and the glove really helps out.

Maybe I have bad nerves. :/

I take my glove off from the PW on down.

I guess I should have clarified that for me as well. On full shots with my PW and SWs, I still use a glove. But I take my glove off for anything less than full shots with wedges and putting of course.

have you tried cord grips?

I have to wear a glove. I dont know what it is, but without a glove my grip feels off, and I never feel comfortable in the swing. Even on short chips from just off the green, I wear the glove because I feel a better connection with the club. However, I do remove it for putting.

Glove here. The combination of my sissy soft hands and cord grips necessitate a glove for everything but putting. Granted, because of the cord grips, I go through gloves like it's nobody's business. Well, except Foot Joy's. I guess it's their business.

"I played like shit." -Greg Norman after the '96 Masters.


I recently dropped the glove and I don't see much difference but playing 5 games a week I amm developping heavy caliss in my right hand on the last three fingers(I'm left handed). I hope I,m not holding the club too tight.
I am a glove person, not sure why but I feel more comfortable with the glove on my hand. I take it off to putt and most of the time when I am chipping but Cody T is trying to get me to take it off every time I am chipping.

I wish I didn't have to wear one, but my palms sweat so bad I actually have to change gloves every 9 holes or so in the summer. I also have cord grips in order to help me hold on to the club.

Just a thought, if you are wearing out a lot of gloves, even if you have cords, you need to look at your grip. I used to wear out gloves on the palm and thumb like crazy. A club pro buddy of mine saw that, adjusted my grip, and I never wear out a glove anymore.

The guys I play with say that playing with out gloves help them remember to not over squeez the grip. I personally like the extra grip the gloves provide.

I wear a glove from driver to putter. My left hand is white and the rest of my body is tanned. LOL.

Anyways, for me, wearing a glove gives me a little more connection with the club. It gives me a sense of control, especially over putting. I was putting with out a glove before and I just couldnt keep the putter steady.

I use a glove, even when putting. I don't grip the club nearly as well otherwise.

    • Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often. 
    • So I think it's that they can't just bend the shaft or hosel to get it to a new lie angle. They adjust that and it changes the weighting, so they have to then adjust all the weights to get it balanced again. I get the impression that it's a bit of an iterative process and they do it all in the US, so they're paying US labor costs to build it and make it work how it's supposed to. Whether you believe in the tech or not, I think that's a true statement.
    • Ah, the old EE in the backswing move. Chest going back and staying down doesn't help.
    • Extremely outward path with a very closed club face. Maybe unless you have a stupidly weak grip, like right hand way over top, I don't think the grip is necessary highly correlated to this.
