I have a problem with my hands - the skin is very sensitive. This is a recent development (3 years or so). I have to wear two gloves and keep them on all round, including putting. I prefer playing without but I have no choice.

Even while putting? It feels weird for me to have the glove on while putting. Although I don't think it has a huge effect on my putts.

Tried hitting a few shots without the glove today. Driver was fine but shanked a few with the irons. I think its due to the fact that my driver has a new grip and the iron grips are a bit older.

I'm with you wrx. My irons tend to slip a little without a glove, but feel solid with a glove. Its all personal preference...use one if it helps you, and if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Latex allergy?? Cracked, itchy skin? Wear gloves a lot for work (laboratory) and around here we're moving away from genuine rubber (latex-based) as people can develop an allergy against the latex protein. Might want to investigate if you can get non-latex based grips if you like playing without a glove.

As for me, I have periods wearing and periods not; currently I am. I'm not sure it helps much and I find they're worse in rain than bare skin.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
