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.

Yeah, I had a Perma-Soft. $14 down the toilet. After one short 9 hole round it was completely black, and there were rips in it. I like my Taylor Made glove and also a durable one is the Callaway Warbird.

Ill tell you a glove that doesnt last, FJ sci flex, I bought 5 of them in the begining of the season and each of them lasted like 4 to 5 rounds. Last season I used a FJ weather soft glove which lasted me all season.

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?

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)

anyone had any experiences with Under Armour gloves???

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.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By saevel25 · Posted

      No one should measure a joint mobility away from that joint. If you go to physical therapy, they are not measuring your knee mobility based on your midline. It is based at the joint. Shoulder mobility should be measured in reference to the shoulder joint.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By iacas · Posted

      He's using a driver swing, while I used the iron swing. Bryson goes from about 65° B to 15° B, hence the 50°. If you bend your right elbow, you're going to pull your hands across your chest some. Conversely, if you abduct your right arm and hold onto a grip with your left arm, you can see how extending the right elbow as we do in the golf swing during the downswing will "pull" the right shoulder/humerus forward (adducting it, as going from 65° to 15° of abduction is). Even people who pull their right shoulder WAY too far around them eventually get it "back in front" when their right arm/elbow extends. So, such a motion shows up as shoulder adduction even though the movement that causes it is just widening the trail elbow. The left hand on the grip almost "pulls" the hands forward as the left arm can't stretch much (there's some shoulder protraction, but that's almost maxed out at P4). Oh, I downloaded it and watched it (and commented there) before he blocked me. It's what led to him posting the comment in the "update" above. 😄  Single shoulder range of 75°, and that's going out well into the follow-through. 50° Max range up to impact. Manavian's video is bad. He keeps saying "midline" which is just a horrible way to look at it. He also kept saying that the club was moving that amount — also wrong. Adding left and right together is really freaking dumb. Another golf instructor said "That's like saying the player has 100 degrees of knee bend (adding left knee bend to right knee bend) 🤦‍♂️" (similar to what the biomechanist said about squatting). Also, see my post above about elbow bend. That's why Plummer’s alignment stick demo is so intellectually dishonest. A golfer can't get anywhere near that position on the left with his left hand on the alignment stick (quoted below).

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      That makes no sense at all.  so, I watched that Instagram. Here is a summary...  Bryson.... Address: Trail Shoulder 0 degrees adduction. P4: Trail Shoulder 65-deg abduction. Impact: Right shoulder 15-deg abduction. P9: 10 degrees adduction. Rory... Address: Trail Shoulder 16 degrees adduction. P4: Trail Shoulder 26 degrees abduction. Impact: Right shoulder 0 degrees abduction.  P9: 18 degrees of adduction.  DJ... Address: Trail Shoulder 4 degrees adduction. P4: Trail Shoulder 42 degrees abduction. Impact: Right shoulder 2 degrees abduction.  P9: 15 degrees of adduction.  Their point is that arm doesn't stay on the trail side. That the arms have to get across the chest from P4 to P9. I mean they do. What matters is the rate of which it happens relative to the position of the swing. The trail shoulder at P9 is not abducted a lot. The range of that total abduction movement is like 40 to 70 degrees. Bryson might be an outlier. Rory might be an outlier as well.  A couple of points.  1. None of them had any adduction at impact. So, this tells me the trail arms stays on the trail side of the body at impact. Is it moving towards lead shoulder, yes. It doesn't happen till post impact. The right side of the body is moving towards the target, so the arms don't have to as much as people think.  2. Trail shoulder adduction from Impact to P9 is 18 to 25 degrees.  3. P9 adduction of the trail shoulder is only about 2 to 12 degrees more adducted than at address. The arms/hands stay in front of the chest a long-time post impact. If Rory, from his address position just rotated his body towards the target and raised up his arms so he is at P9. He basically didn't have to move his trail arm further across his chest than where he started at address. Visualize that for a bit. I bet for people who tend to stall and drag their arms across their body to hit the ball, that would emphasize how much the arms stay in front of the body and how much you have to turn.

      Do you know how Manavian is measuring his shoulder adduction-abduction that purports to demonstrate 50 degrees or motion in Bryson's downswing? I know the broader biomechanics research/scientific literature on this suggests shoulder adduction-abduction is only a modest contributor of force generation in the downswing, so I'm definitely not convinced by anything he's arguing, I'm just curious how different people can be claiming to use ostensibly the same "data" to tell a much different story.

      I have an update… I don't have much of a response, because the fact that they would ADD the numbers for the lead and trail shoulder together… I mean, wow. I was giving them too much credit. Nobody would think to assume they were doing THAT. That's beyond comical. One of the biomechanists I talked to put it this way: "So if I squatted down and went from 180 to 90 deg knee angle, then I would say 180 deg range of motion because I have two knees?" I'd type more (maybe), but honestly, I'm laughing a bit too hard. 🤣 Update: Mini Manavian blocked me on Instagram, so I cannot see his post showing Bryson with about 50° of range of motion (with a driver) from P4 to P7, and 75° only if you go out to the mid-follow-through. What a terrible loss for me. 😉
