Your glove is more than just a stylish accessory—it’s your connection to the club and a key piece of your performance. Choosing the right golf glove and ensuring a proper fit can make a noticeable difference in control, comfort, and consistency.
Here’s how to choose the right glove and get that dialed-in fit:
1. Fit Matters More Than You Think
Your glove should fit like a second skin. No bunching, no bagginess. If there’s extra material in the palm or fingertips, it’s too big. A snug fit gives you better feel and control during your swing.
2. Pick the Right Hand
Only wear a glove on your lead hand (left for righties, right for lefties). That’s the hand that grips the club most tightly and needs the most protection and traction.
3. Material Makes a Difference
- Cabretta Leather: Soft, premium feel and great feedback. Ideal for dry conditions.
- Synthetic or Hybrid Gloves: More durable and flexible, great for humid or wet conditions.
- All-Weather Gloves: Built to battle the elements—keep one in the bag just in case.
4. Replace When Worn
If your glove is stretched out, torn, or slick in the palm, it’s time to replace it. A worn-out glove means inconsistent grip pressure and more mishits.
5. Store It Right
Don’t just wad it up and toss it in your bag. Smooth it out and let it air dry after each round to extend its life and maintain the fit.
Pro Tip from Happy Golf
Try on your glove the same way you’d wear your favorite pair of shoes—get the size right, break it in a bit, and swap it out when it’s past its prime. A fresh, well-fitted glove = more confident swings.
