You shouldn't have any blisters, especially on a glove hand. There is probably something wrong with your grip.

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

Starting from the fingertip, do you mean between the second and third knuckle? I have a definite callus there, since I put a lot of my grip pressure right there. At one time there was opportunity for blistering, but hitting tons of balls has diminishing returns in other areas too, so I never got a lot of blisters when I started (before I had golf calluses for life).

Other areas with calluses are inside right thumb pad, left thumb across the inside of the first knuckle, and the pads at the base of my ring fingers (yup, both hands).

your really shouldnt have any blisters because if you have blisters it means that the club is moving in your hands.

I have the same blister location except on my right hand because I'm left handed. It's definitely from my grip (tooo tight) and lack of calluses in the area. I also wasn't wearing a glove for the first 1/2 of my practice session and my hands were real sweaty which I'm sure didn't help.

I have calluses on the outside of the first phallange of my 2 index fingers both left and right, and get occasional blisters, usually on the cushion of the 3rd phallange of my left ring finger (even with a glove). I've no idea what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas anyone?

One of my golf friends told me he simply gave up on gloves. He said they wear out so fast there was no point. Anyone else do this?

And I have lots of blisters because I skip the glove 50%

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
