how often to replace a glove? when do you know a glove is worn out?

[wannabe]

The one I have now is black from wear and it's stretched out loose, but it still grips great. It's a Mizuno, don't remember the model, but it's an awesome glove.

I'm probably gonna replace it today in preparation for a round tomorrow just 'cause it's ugly, but I'll keep it for a backup.

In general, I go through a couple gloves a year, but I haven't played much. This year, I hope to go through a lot more gloves. :D

I usually replace when they start to stretch out on me too much. I have big hands and even XL size fit tight. Once they start sliding around I replace them.

Mine get replaced when I get a hole in the palm of it. (sometimes it happens pretty fast, other times it takes months)

I always buy a new one once I open one up.

I replace mine when they start to develop a hole, or it starts to lose grip. I was advised changing gloves every 4-5 rounds, but that's just a guideline.

That guideline must have been set by golf glove companies.

When it gets too holey, stiff, or stinky.

I replace only when it develops a hole that gets on my nerves! I used to play without a glove to several years. But now I am spoiled.

I buy one...when the other one loses it's mojo. Ya see...I have many superstitions. I bought a black "Bionic Glove", and I had a crappy round..therefore..only white for me from then on. I know...i have a screw loose!

what is the difference between regular and cadet gloves? I never tried on a cadet glove, because I was always afraid it was for kids and I would damage the glove trying it on.

I think for shorter fingers. I have thick hands, but not long fingers. This glove deffinetly has the correct finger length, but I would like a bit moreroom around the palm. I'm just going to go in next week and make a mess of things looking for a glove i like.

Cadet is for chubby hands. A regular large is too tight for me so I wear a cadet large because an extra large regular is too long in the fingers.

I change gloves after nine holes and I wash them from time to time. Slightly off topic, but I found a tan Pinehurst glove in my old bag. It was bought around 1993 when gloves came in several colors and included snap -on ball markers.

You can still get gloves with the snap on ball markers.

Not off the top of my head. I will look to see if I still have one with my practice gloves when I get home. I did a Google search for

I was just glove shopping yesterday. I found some of the golfsmith brand calbratta leather gloves for $6 a piece and they had the snap on ball markers. They also fit perfect, so I picked up a few.

I know when my glove is worn out when there is a visible hole in it.
