I like the stiff feel around the back of the hand, and the soft feel of the palm, as well as how amazingly well they breathe.

I use Nike Durafeel gloves, for one they feel good and last longer then most gloves but more importantly they are one of the easiest gloves to find for left handed golfers that are also good quality, no offense to FJ!

As far as cheap gloves go, I have used the same pair (Johnny Two-Glove here) of Confidence golf wet weather gloves for the past year and a half. They come in 3 packs per hand and end up being around $4 each. I'm still on the same pair from the beginning of last year. They have survived very well and, until recently, there was not a tear or blemish on the gloves. Sadly, they will be retired in the near future as they are almost worn through on the palm .

Well played haha.

I keep trying to play without my glove but it just feels weird swinging without it now.  I think it does help with my grip when it is really humid out but otherwise I don't think there is much benefit.

I have been using the Footjoy weathersoft gloves for a while now, they are my favorite.

Same one I use - can't beat the price!!

Couldn't go to it straightaway though - athletic tape and some moleskin type stuff from 3M did the trick. Full cords or NDMC help too.

Got some Calloway "all weather" gloves some time ago and really hated them. After a few holes, it felt like my hands were slipping in the glove. I eventually found out that they put some sort of "powder" (talc? cornstarch?) inside the glove. Perhaps to make it easier to try on. Anyway, once the perspiration from your hands gets this powder wet, it is really slippery! Solved the problem by washing the inside of the glove with a bit of detergent and plenty of water. Now they seem fine.

Mizuno Skintite for me

Almost feels like no glove its that thin

FootJoy WeatherSof for me. I tried the Warbirds because the price was attractive but I split them on the vent holes of the fingers after just 6-7 round which is a couple of weeks at best for me. I bought 4 FJ gloves in August and I'm still on the first one.

I tried those highly touted Herzl kangaroo leather gloves and while they are nice and have excellent gripping capabilities, they do not last long at all. I went through three over a 6 month period. I bought a random Titleist from a pro shop before a round a while back because the Herzl split during range hitting. Couldn't tell you the type, but it is very thin and has already outlasted the 3 Herzls lifespans combined.

Used to buy what's on sale at Golfsmith, but after hearing all the endorsements on Footjoy I will probably get stuck on them. I have two pairs now, left and right. They have lasted a month so far.

Costco gloves come in a 3 pack for less than $15. They are as good as any glove I have ever used. They are sized a little big. I wear a ML Footjoy, but wear a medium in the Costco glove.

Been using Titleist Players for quite a while. They are the softest and best fitting that I've found.

Footjoy guy here as well.  Haven't tried too many gloves, pretty much started out buying those multi packs of warbirds from walmart, but since I picked up a SPIDR2 at my pro shop I haven't needed a new one.  It's grown a bit rigid with all the sweat drying, but it still fits comfortably with more than enough pad left throughout the glove.  I also picked up a two pack of WeatherSofs at a local range when I forgot to put the spidr back in my bag, and have really enjoyed those as well.  Pretty much use the spidr for the range now and the weathersofs when i play, both are great gloves and I can definitely see why they are so popular.

I think I've tried almost every glove, but all wear out so quick. I'm down to just buying cheap leather gloves in bulk from amazon. But for fit and comfort, footjoy and titleist stand out in my mind.

    • 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?
