There are two basic categories of glove, namely leather and synthetic. There is no real doubt that in the ideal conditions, leather is the preferred option due to the fact fine quality cabretta is thinner and more pliable than its synthetic counterparts. This gives the player more feel and comfort. The synthetic glove does of course have its advantages: First and foremost they tend to be significantly cheaper than leather. In the rain the synthetic glove will normally maintain grip longer and better. Synthetic gloves tend to be more durable. There has recently been a wave of new gloves being launched on the market, which are technologically advanced to offer the player increased breathability and superior comfort. These new products do of course come at a price. When purchasing a new glove the key is to first think whether you want leather or synthetic. You may determine this by price, the time of year or how frequent a golfer you are. For example during the winter months buying a synthetic glove is often the best choice as they are better in poor conditions and will last longer if you leave them in your bag for some time whilst not playing. Once you have determined the material, try a few on and find what feels good to you. Remember that the glove must be like a second skin to you. Make sure you have the right size by checking with your professional or retailer. As a general guide, they should always feel a little tight when first tried on (not to the extent that you can’t bend your fingers!). They will ease (stretch) with wear, and you certainly don’t want them to feel loose. |
