Does anyone currently play with the SPIDR2, I am looking to switch from the standard weathersof glove. Any thoughts on the durability, feel and grip when wet?

Also does anyone have any other recommendations for a glove, is the PureTouch really worth the $28, or the StaSof at $19.99?

Never tried the said glove but I have tried the StaSof. Don't know about it being worth the $19.99 since that's fairly relative. I usually buy fairly decent gloves such as Titleist Players-Tech and Perma Tech for under $10 online. Usually toss a couple in the cart when I order other stuff.

Glove wise, as long as the glove isn't very thick and doesn't wear out too fast, I am not too picky. I use Mizuno gloves when practicing and use Titleist gloves when playing.

I've been using the spidr 2 since i bought it sometime around April/May, And for the price they're asking it's really a great glove. Haven't tried too many gloves, only warbirds and this one, but I imagine they don't make em much more comfortable/durable until you're paying for the top cabretta leather stuff. Unless you literally go to the range EVERY DAY I think you'll be ok, mine only has some slight wear in the palm/index finger where my grip and the glove have the most friction (sorry if thats a poor description, i seem to have left some of my vocabulary elsewhere =p)

POINT BEING: Get it, I highly doubt you'll regret it, and it looks pretty cool too. May end up sticking with these gloves down the line myself.

I will probably go with the SPIDR based on recommendations here and around the net.

I am very interested though in hearing from someone who has used the puretouch glove. I like to splurge on nice equipment and thing that one of these gloves every few rounds would be a real treat. That is if they are actually worth the $30 you have to shell out for one.

I've burned through two of these gloves. I think they have the absolute best fit for my hand out of any glove I have tried. When the palm material is new, it is very tacky on the grips and feels great. I personally think they are one of the best looking gloves out there. On the other hand, they get crusty really quick and on my second glove I had some stitching on the velcro part come undone. Regardless of that, these are great gloves.

I can't talk for the SPIDR2 glove. In my case, I'd prefer the PureTouch or Stasof.

I haven't been able to try the PureTouch seeing as it's not available in right hand but the Stasof is good value for the price. It's still pretty expensive for what you can find on the market but feels very soft and is also very durable. I've been playing around with cabretta gloves lately and found it to be very nice. It's on the same level as the Titleist Players or the Nike Dri-Fit Tour.

Lately, I've switched to the Footjoy Cabrettasof. I got two for 28$, which is a decent deal here (a FJ Sciflex is 35$) and it feels great. I can't comment on its durability but it's certainly an option to consider.

    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • 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.
