Oakley's gloves are fantastic, just hard to find.

What about HJ Gloves. Nothing is better!

I like Footjoy Sta Sof and Weather Sof. Honestly sometimes i like the Weather Sof more than the Sta Sof. I wonder what this new $24 dollar glove from footjoy is all about. Maybe just a good batch of Stasofs?

the mizuno retroflex is, in my opinion, after trying a few different gloves, the best all around glove, it fits great, has really good durability, and compared to a lot of the other popular gloves it's a steal, it's 10 or 11 bucks at golfsmith.

I'm partial to the FJ Sci-flex

I use the WeatherSof right now, I've tried the Ping M-Fit and a few others before. Next I'm gonna try a premium Cabretta glove and see what the hype is all about.

On a somewhat related note, a lot of Titleist/FJ players this weekend were using the FcIFlex instead of the Stasoft....pretty interesting.

I'm a big fan of the TM Targa and the FJ SciFlex. I really like the lycra stuff on the Targa since I sweat like it's my job.

The best feeling, best fitting, best performing glove for me by far is the Bridgestone Tour... the downside they last about half as long as the Sci Flex, or TM Burner gloves that I also use.

I still use the Bridgestone gloves, but wish they would last a little longer.

Master Grip (mpggolf.com) DynaGrip Elite at 2 for $14 is flat out the best glove I've ever worn at any price.

"While the DynaGrip Elite is the best glove you can buy, it is not for everyone. It's a glove for the golfers who value feel over durability. In fact, this is the quality of glove preferred and worn by many Tour professionals.

DynaGrip Elite starts with thinner, softer Cabretta leather for the most sensitive feel you have ever experienced in a golf glove. The Elite also features a stretchable nylon hinge across the first knuckles so you can take your grip without tugging on the leather.

Like the style preferred by Tour pros, this glove does not include a snap-on ball marker and is available only in a classic silvery-white color."

These are amazingly durable for such fine leather. Lastly, they fit my had absolutely perfectly.

My favorites are:

Normal play/ practice: Mizunio skintite or bionic(the bionic is a tank and washable)
I am getting away from wearing a glove most of the time in the warmer months.

Rain: Mizuno rain glove

Cold: Mizuno cold weather gloves.

I've been shocked by how good this glove is. I stopped by Golfsmith for gloves on the way to the course a couple months back, and they were out of my size in the Titleist Perma** that I used to play. I tried a couple of different gloves on an bought two of the Mizuno Retroflex. Really good glove, and for $4 less per...I may not switch back.

I LOVE THE BIONIC. Perfect padding and grip. The feel helps me to not grip the club too tightly. Too bad they are so spendy.
mrb
What, no Under Armor?

Anyway, i like the Etonics...this is gonna sound weird, but I can't play with any glove that has the webbing of the fingers cut out...bizarre, i know.

Summer & dry weather: Footjoy StaSof, no glove is better for me - have tried them all

Cold and some what wet weather: Footjoy SciFlex & Footjoy WeatherSof

Rainy weather: Footjoy RainGrip
SwingBlues
No gloves. I use to use the Weathersoft but I prefer the bare hands, I can feel the grip pressure and connection to the club much better.
jirizarry
You SHOULD try this one. Expensive, but lasts longer and it is washable.

I like the PING Gloves. Hard to find but softer than the Stasoft and last longer.

Except for the Sciflex, this is exactly what I use as well.

I've got several gloves, I always keep 3 Dri-fit Tours in the bag and 3 Titleist Players Techs. I have weather-soft's for wet weather, but recently I purchased a Boggy Golf glove to try and while I'm not a huge fan during dry weather, I haven't found a better wet weather glove.
ZBigStick
The older Maxfli Tour gloves and now the TaylorMade Targa and Tour gloves seem to fit my hand the best.

The G-Sok is good too but is unlike the other synthetic palmed gloves you have listed as its palm is all leather, which feels and grips well but does absorb sweat reducing its durability.

I have good things about Oakley, Under Armour and HJ but have never seen them at retail. The new Bionic Tour glove is intriguing but costly!

Mizuno Retroflex. Thats what I use and they fit well and last a really long time.

Currently, I'm working through a stash of Nike Elite Feel gloves that I bought up a year or so back at a very agreeable price.

They're a cracking glove. Hardwearing, fit well, and a no nonsense design with no annoying stretchy lycra bits. Basically, it does what it says on the tin. Plus they're three or four quid cheaper than the Titleist version.

Kasco makes one of the best feeling and performing gloves in existence...pure luxury. They may be a little pricey and hard to find, but worth it.

Nice; but the snap on ballmarker is a deal-breaker for me.

Titleist Players-Tech!!! surprised it hasn't gotten more votes.

I have had great luck with the Cleveland glove. Not listed, but that gets my vote.
italianstallion
Weathersofs are my glove of choice. Cheap through my discount in the pro shop and they last forever.
Dazza
Anything from Mizuno for me. Used them throughout my junior years and they did the job well.
Currently playing glove-less. Can't find any Mizuno at our local pro shop, might have to organise a shipment soon! smile.gif

Yes, but I hear Miura forges the little snappy-thing-ball marker that is on the glove....... rolleyes.gif

I hate them. The glove equialent of kilties on shoes as far as I'm concerned. Awful.

What ever happened to the Kasco gloves that were paper thin? The Sta-Soft is one of the thinnest gloves out there, however, the older Kasco gloves (back in the early 90s) were fantastic.

Titleist Players glove... hands down the best for me. Doesn't last as long as SciFlex, but I like it more.

Nothing like slipping on a fresh Players glove.

Does anyone else really dislike the look of the new FJ premium glove?

Retroflex definitely best glove out there for me. durability, price and all that is great but the main reason why the glove is so good is because the seam on the side of the thumb doesn't rotate around after use. in fact the seam is kind of more on top of the thumb than on the side. i hate hate hate it when the thumb seam ends up underneath the thumb pad and it's happened on every glove i've used except the retroflex

Ok... I bought 2 to give them a try. Slightly more expensive than the Under Armour gloves I really like, but if they perform then a couple of extra bucks will be worth it. Plus the colors aren't normally available for us leftys so thats kinda neat too.
obsessed_golfer
Nothing like the Titleist players glove!! And the Mizuno cold weather gloves are great , too! I have to try the Mizuno wet weather gloves next.
glcoach
I wish I could find the Kangaroo leather gloves that were sold a couple of years ago. Those gloves were awesome and never wore out.
Greenie
My vote goes to Rock Bottom Golf's gloves.The ones with their logo on them.They are very nice feeling and last a long time. At 4 for $20 at our local golf show they are a bargin.No more high dollar gloves for me..
Buddyjay
I have to agree with the "cheaper" gloves. I've been playing for 35 years and have tried them all. Am now using a $5 glove from WalMart and it lasts just as long as FJ or another premium glove. Just not waterproof.

Mastergrip Elite, best bang for the buck.
louie09
In humid and warm conditions, Mizuno Rainfit is the most durable, and if your hands sweat this glove will last longer than traditional leather gloves. $10.00 a pop is the cheapest I've seen.
Oldnavycdr
I recently got a deal on the Addias Exert -- 15 gloves for $8.00 per. Very comfortable, great fit, great feel. I'm still playing my first so I can't yet comment on durability. Usually I wear SicFlex but couldn't pass up the deal and thus far I'm very pleased. Probably won't need to buy for quite sometime.
