Glove?

[muskegman]

I've always played with a glove but have recently given it up. I'm enjoying being more connected to the swing as a result. Plus its one less thing to fuss over on the course. What about you?

Jeff, I'm glad you made this topic. I am publishing a review on a golf glove on Wednesday I believe. I reviewed the new 3M Greptile glove. I think you will enjoy the read.

As for the topic, I have to wear a glove 110% of the time. I don't wear one when chipping or putting, but I do for every other shot.

The humidity in Oklahoma is overwhelming at times. And there are some spots on my course that are way too humid to go with the bare hand. My glove gets wet at times, which isn't good. But it's better than nothing. That's also where the new glove I reviewed comes into play, but I won't go into anymore detail on that yet.

So yes, I'm all for the glove. If I played in other states, I may not need one.

We get pretty humid here in PA, but I - like many pros - just go with a corded grip and keep my hands dry. A pair of dry hands beats a moist glove any day of the week.

I never wore a glove for the first 10 years or so of playing golf. A few years ago I went through a funk of hitting big hooks. It felt to me like I was strangling the club and decided to wear a glove so I didn't need to grip it as tight. It helped with the hooks and I've worn one every since. Now if I try playing without one, I instinctively tighten my grip because it feels less secure. I have to wear one now.

No glove. Love having the touch/feel, especially on short chips.

Gotta have a glove on! How else am I going to have one white hand and one very tanned hand?

[NCGolfer]

Glove on.

On sweaty days, I'll usually switch after 9 to get that dry, new feeling again. I don't use gloves on short pitches or putting. I want to feel the club during those shots.

I prefer not to wear a golf, but I am a sweat-hog. If the conditions allow me not to use a glove, I don't. Typically here in Dallas when it is 105 like today, I have to use 4 gloves, and hang them on the cart to dry (which doesn't take long in 105 degrees).

Gotta have the glove. I dont mid hitting without one, but with as much as I practice and play I get a lot of blisters if I dont wear one.

I'll wear a glove ONLY if r I can't get a good grip on the club (raining, too humid, etc)

[Ben]

Gloveless.

Gloves are bad luck in my book.

Summers are too hot and the sweat eats up gloves so quick so I dont wear one in the Summer. I will in the winter though

I where a FJ staSof but not for chipping or putting. My hands get way to sweaty in the 100*+ kansas weather and even with cord grips you can lose control.

I always have 3 - 4 pair of gloves with me, keeping them rotating. Taylor Made React is my glove of choice.

I like useing the glove with my driver, 3w and irons because I believe I can hold to club softer without choking it to death. Also, I do not like useing the glove when useing my gw, sw and putting to give myself that special touch.

I marked "sometimes" but "for some shots" would be more accurate. I use a glove for all full shots, but when I get around 100 yards in it comes off.

I used to wear a glove about a year or so ago... but now I like the feeling of the club in my hands at all times... and plus its saving me some money too not having to buy a gloves all the time...
