I do not play with a glove with wedges, any wedge or finesse shot I take off my glove.

But everything else I use one, it feels like I'm playing upside down backwards if I go to tee off with out one on.

I have been using mine off the tee, and then taking it off..mostly because its been hot out.

I blister like a mofo without a glove..its painful lol

I've never used a glove, ive tried a few times at the range for a few shots but just feels weird, like there's something extra on the grip that shouldnt be there. Just get a better feel without it, feel kinda disconnected from the club if i wear one.

I haven't been wearing a glove these last couple of years until just the other day. It felt like I was able to lessen my grip even more than I have and still hang on to the club so I'll probably start wearing one again just for that reason. Never had a problem without one though.

I've never worn a glove. I have a pair of rain gloves and had to use them once, but otherwise they're too uncomfortable for me. Just what you're used to I guess. I've never had issues with blisters or clubs slipping, etc... and I used to be a fairly serious range rat (100-200 balls a day).

Weapons of choice:
Irons/wedges: Titleist Tour Grind

Usually no glove, but weather conditions (or the condition of a particular grip) will sometimes force me to wear one. I've always got a couple in the bag for when I need one.

I wear a glove. I really need to start remembering to take it off when I putt. Lol a lot of times if I do take it off, then I end up teeing off then remembering to put it back on lol. My uncle is an amazing golfer, and doesn't wear a glove. He could probably have been proffessional golfer if he had been more serious about it. I mean, he only gets out a few times a year as it is. Last yer I went with him and it was the first time he'd been out in I think 5 years at least. He has outdated clubs, except for his driver, which is my old burner. It's amazing how litle he golfs, yet is still a single-digit handicap. Oh yeah, he doesn't use golf shoes either.

Single digit to pro is quite a leap. I assume his handicap is an estimate since he hasn't golfed in 5 years and only went a few times a year before that.

I have a nice new glove in my bag at all times. If putting it on crosses my mind, it's time to replace my grips.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. When it is on I will rarely take it off. I'll putt with it, pee with it, smoke with it, drink with it, whatever. Sometimes I'll take it off when a round starts to go really sideways (more than usual). Sometimes I'll take it off for the hell of it. Its nice to have a fresh glove on, but it doesn't seem to make a difference to me in how I hit the ball.

i can't play golf without a glove, it's impossible because my hands sweat so. i once tried it back in h.s. and ended up throwing a club into the water on my follow through.

Try it down here in the grand strand with all this humidity and it's even harder! Anyway, have you heard about boxgroove.com? It seems like they have a lot of golf courses we can play and they're all private? Just wondering if you have heard about this? Looking to possibly join?

thanks,

I take the glove off when putting but for all other situations it's on.

Jack putted with a glove.

I hear of people using two gloves.

I don't use a glove. Not needed with todays grips. I like the feel of the grip better than a glove.

    • Yea but that is sort of my quandary, I sometimes see posts where people causally say this club is more forgiving, a little more forgiving, less forgiving, ad nauseum. But what the heck are they really quantifying? The proclamation of something as fact is not authoritative, even less so as I don't know what the basis for that statement is. For my entire golfing experience, I thought of forgiveness as how much distance front to back is lost hitting the face in non-optimal locations. Anything right or left is on me and delivery issues. But I also have to clarify that my experience is only with irons, I never got to the point of having any confidence or consistency with anything longer. I feel that is rather the point, as much as possible, to quantify the losses by trying to eliminate all the variables except the one you want to investigate. Or, I feel like we agree. Compared to the variables introduced by a golfer's delivery and the variables introduced by lie conditions, the losses from missing the optimal strike location might be so small as to almost be noise over a larger area than a pea.  In which case it seems that your objection is that the 0-3% area is being depicted as too large. Which I will address below. For statements that is absurd and true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. You will need to provide some objective data to back that up and also define what true 100% sweet spot is. If you mean the area where there are 0 losses, then yes. While true, I do not feel like a not practical or useful definition for what I would like to know. For strikes on irons away from the optimal location "in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?"   In my opinion it ok to be dubious but I feel like we need people attempting this sort of data driven investigation. Even if they are wrong in some things at least they are moving the discussion forward. And he has been changing the maps and the way data is interpreted along the way. So, he admits to some of the ideas he started with as being wrong. It is not like we all have not been in that situation 😄 And in any case to proceed forward I feel will require supporting or refuting data. To which as I stated above, I do not have any experience in drivers so I cannot comment on that. But I would like to comment on irons as far as these heat maps. In a video by Elite Performance Golf Studios - The TRUTH About Forgiveness! Game Improvement vs Blade vs Players Distance SLOW SWING SPEED! and going back to ~12:50 will show the reference data for the Pro 241. I can use that to check AskGolfNut's heat map for the Pro 241: a 16mm heel, 5mm low produced a loss of efficiency from 1.3 down to 1.24 or ~4.6%. Looking at AskGolfNut's heatmap it predicts a loss of 3%. Is that good or bad? I do not know but given the possible variations I am going to say it is ok. That location is very close to where the head map goes to 4%, these are very small numbers, and rounding could be playing some part. But for sure I am going to say it is not absurd. Looking at one data point is absurd, but I am not going to spend time on more because IME people who are interested will do their own research and those not interested cannot be persuaded by any amount of data. However, the overall conclusion that I got from that video was that between the three clubs there is a difference in distance forgiveness, but it is not very much. Without some robot testing or something similar the human element in the testing makes it difficult to say is it 1 yard, or 2, or 3?
