The nicest one I've found is the Footjoy Sciflex. Has a really nice feel to it and seems to last quite well.

I used to go through a glove on every round because I get sweaty palms. I found the worst gloves for me were the expensive ones, the ones made with Cabretta leather. The leather would get wet then tear. I went to using microfiber gloves that now lasts for about 2 months (ie. 10 rounds) before I have to change them. The best ones I've found are made by HJ Glove but they are hard to find. I bought 2 dozens from a Roger Dunn store in California a few years ago but lately, I've seen some on eBay. Pete Carlson in Palm Springs carry the half gloves and mesh ones.

Actually needing a golf glove at the moment have been using ones since last summer a taylor made one. It's worn now and as the golf season is kicking in I need to invest. I'm thinking FJ but which one guys??

I found a great deal on Intech Cabretta leather gloves with Lycra inserts in the sides of the fingers.  They ended up being less than $6 per glove.  I bought 2 to start with and gave them a shot.  They worked well so I bought 12 more.  I am good for gloves for a while.  Also, I threw a couple of them in the washer with bleach, Oxyclean and detergent.  Took them out of washer, stretched them out some and put them in the dryer on delicate cycle.  Checked on them about 3 times and each time stretched them out again.  They came out fine and are great for casual rounds or on the range.  If you had to use on in a round that was more than casual, they should be fine for that also.  For less than $6 each...not a bad glove.

I've had decent luck with Nike Classic or Elite feel gloves.  I've never much cared for the lycra "stretch" stuff on gloves.  I prefer the whole thing Cabretta with none of that cloth stuff.  I found 6 of these gloves on ebay for $60 shipped.  For $10 a glove I couldn't turn it down.  Another sleeper brand is the MasterGrip aka MG gloves.  Buy one get one free works out to like $11 a glove, but you also have to pay for shipping.

I've tried the FJ Spdr 2 and it is awesome. It fits so nicely around your fingers, and the actual palm side of the glove is different

I second this. I am a HUGE FAN of the FootJoy WeatherSof. This is the only glove that I have ever worn that absolutely feels like a second skin, in that it fits perfectly with no spare glove that you can grab when I comfortably extend my fingers and flatten my hand - palm up. The XL is a true XL and is snug, soft and durable. These typically run me $10.00 but they last for a long time as well.

Bionic glove is SICK.  I found one at my course that was only lightly used and played it for about 20-30 rounds afterward until it was super worn.  I loved the way it provided padding in certain places but feel in other places (i.e. the inside joints of the fingers w/ ultra thin lycra slits), it actually caused me to develop thicker calluses throughout my fingers along with barehanded play inside of 100 yards, but overall the Bionic is super wet and good for your game my dude.

I forget the name of it but the FootJoy glove that Adam Scott and many other pros use is awesome.  The high end one obviously.  Haven't read all of the posts on this thread but I assume many have recommended it.

Basically, you get what you pay for.  Go big or go home.

Nike=trash.  I seriously am just gonna start wearing a gardening glove.  Id wear one of those over a Nike.  Ive burned through 3 in 2.5 months!

As others have mentioned, the FJ Pure Touch is a fantastic glove. I just happened to find one in a Golfsmith in San Antonio several months ago. It was the only one they had, but it was my size, so I tried it one. Definitely the softest glove in the store. I've played with it for about 4 months now, and it still looks nearly new. At $25, it's on the high end of the price range for gloves from most stores, but certainly worth it.

Before that little gem came along, it was usually Titleist Players for me.

I agree. I had used the Titleist Permasoft and really liked it before switching over to the mg glove... However, the mg wore out and I didn't want to wait (only available online) so I picked up a couple of the FJ PureTouch and I love 'em. They are a bit pricey, but I found a pretty good deal on them at 2 for $30... still not as cheap as the mg but they are just a little bit better.

I love my taylormade r11 (power balance). The leather they use is just so soft and perfect fit. Have used it for probably 5 rounds and 8 driving range sessions and showing no wear at all

But it is not PGA approved. The footjoy STASOF is working well so far and has much better feel.

I don't use one anymore either. Found them sort of useless. If your grips are OK they really don't do anything for you, anyway for me.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
