Alright enough about grips, time for gloves. I'm currently using my FootJoy Mens StaSof Tour Golf Gloves but last years model. I've had it for more than 5 months with maybe 7 uses including the driving range and I feel its starting loosen up more and it's not as tight as it use to be. The condition is still pretty good and I plan on keeping it for another few more rounds.

how often do you guys change and normally to what condition does it need to be changed?

Whats in the Four 5?

I play with a glove that's black in the palm, so I never see any areas getting dark. I replace them when they are worn out, either because of a hole or because they don't feel as tight anymore.

I change them whenever they start to lose their tackiness. Usually for me that's about 10-12 round during the winter and maybe half that during the summer. I know that's a bit excessive, but it seems to make a difference to me.

I get 3 FJ Sta Soft gloves early in the season. I rotate them each hole. By doing this I have found that I can get a little more life out of them and it is the only 3 gloves I will get per year. I only use them on the course. The gloves from the prior year are used as the practice gloves for the year. So really, I get 2 years out of 3 gloves. After that, they go in a ziploc bag in my golf bag for those rainy days when I don't want to get my good ones wet.

I will say I probably only average 3-4 rounds a month from May - September. Someone who plays 3-4 times a week probably wouldn't get them to last that long.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
