The time has come for me to by a new glove. I usually just use whatever I can find for a relatively cheap price, or I get as a gift. I play about once or twice a week, but will hit balls more often. I usually don't the expensive ones, so I'm hoping some of you guys have some suggestions.

Just wondering what you guys would recommend, thanks.

I've tried FootJoy, Nike, Mizuno, Titleist, Bionic and a whole slew of other gloves.

The best glove for me is the bog standard Srixon cabretta glove as it's perfect in every way for my hand size and the feeling I want from a glove. The fact that it's relatively cheap is nothing but a bonus as I'd happily pay twice the price for it.

Agreed.  I typically play the Srixon glove, but had to get a FootJoy when I was out of town.  I had never given it much thought before I had to switch, and I went back to the Srixon as soon as I could find one.  Turns out Wal-Mart had them for pretty cheap, who'd have thought that?

Ckeck out the gloves at Costco. They are soft,durable, and come 3 to a pack at a very reasonable price. They seem to run a little big.

Ive been using the Mizuno Retroflex for a couple years now.  It fits my hand perfectly, has good grip and lasts a long, long time.

I have used FJ Weather Soft gloves for many years. They fit snug, and clean up easy. I just fold a glove in half, put it in a back pockets of slacks that I wash and thats it. When I take out the slacks, I remove the glove and lay it flat on a towel to dry. Have a few gloves for two years.

+1. I picked up a Taylormade glove at my club when I forgot mine and it has a nice tight/snug fit - the material is very thin which results in a better feel for me.

Nike Dry fit Tour.......a quality glove, plus I get a 20% discount at my home pro-shop.  I am a lefty so I order them by the box of six because nobody stocks a nice selection of quality gloves for left handed golfers.   I stock up..........and re-order when necessary.

About a month ago, I picked up a 2-pack of Callaway Extreme RTT's.   So far, I really like this glove.    It almost seems to grip the club for me.

I have had a couple nike's and they both wore out extremely fast but did fit good.  Switched to Callaway and have been VERY impressed with the longevity and fit.  I had to pick up a glove the other day at the pro shop and they didn't have the one I normally get so I tried a Titelist that they said was a new model.  I HATE this glove.  It seemed to stretch out immediately and when I swing you can feel the grip pulling the glove away from my hand.  It looks good though haha.

For me its probably Titleist Perma Soft.  Good combination of quality & price in comparison to other top gloves & can be found on e-bay for around $10.  Retail here (New Zealand) for about $35 so I'm sticking with e-bay for now.  Also like Srixon (Cabretta) & Titleist players gloves.

    • 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?
