I personally dont, it feels like too much padding between me and the grip, it feels like im not connected to the glove.

No glove for me unless it's raining or really humid.

I have to wear a glove or else it feels like the club might possibly follow the ball downrange. I probably loose 10 mph swing speed with no glove. Just my input!

I use a glove 99% of the time, I only take it off if glove gets wet or worn and I feel like I am not gripping club the way I would want.

I probably wear a glove 99% of the time. I wear the Titleist players glove. besat glove by far....not very thick ....just a nice this layer of fine cabretta leather. The only time i might not wear a glove is in the rain if i run out of new dry gloves because i hate rain gloves and its easier to keep your hands dry than weather gloves.

I can't make a full swing without a glove on. It just feels weird. Anything inside 50 yards I don't use a glove. I'm a headcase russian_roulette.gif .

I have to wear a glove, can't play decent at all without one. A couple of clubs actually have followed the ball downrange.
Chris L The Golf Dude
Yeah I use a glove.

Titleist Perma-Tech.
Everardo
No - Too hot here and my hands sweat too much and I end up going through gloves really quick. I've changed grips and that's helped
Lord Thomas
I recently switched to cord grips to prevent my hands from slipping, and I found that they ripped up my hands too much, so I now wear a glove.

I almost never wear a glove... no point... it just gives you funny tan lines
sergizmo
I have to wear a glove- my hands just sweat too much not too. Usually rotate 3 at the range/course.
simmoboy
i wear a golve very full shot but as soon as i get to with in 30m the glove comes of because i like the extra feel on my approach shots.

I never e when I played baseball, but I really like fresh cabretta

I wear a glove for pretty much every thing except putting. Unless of course I am walking up to the green to putt, only to find out I have rolled off and need to chip back on...in that case, it's not worth my time.


I just bought a FootJoy SciFlex for the first time an really like. Anybody else use this glove?

All the time. Although I do take it off to putt.

I wear a golf for everything except Pitching, Chipping and Putting.

Thanks,

I'm weird with the glove, sometimes I like it for everything but chipping/putting, sometimes I can't stand it at all.. Its a toss up!

yes for swinging, no for putting. Although on hot days with an older, worn glove I get stink hand from sweat in my glove. Smells like a nasty sock. On the rare occasion I swing without a glove my left hand feels too small and weak.

If the glove don't fit, you must acquit ...

Just thought I would throw that in for you OJ fans ...
Sakman
I use a glove all the time. Seems like I'm replacing it about once a week these days. I guess that's normal considering how humid it's been.
Joe Peel
Did not used to wear a glove for a number of years, but discovered that I needed it to stabilize a hard swing. I don't take it off for putting or chipping because I prefer to feel the putt with the right hand in lead.
Golfwolf
I do wear a glove, the clubs slip too much if I don't, afflicted with sweaty hands.

I have the exact same issue. My hands sweat non stop
kkhere
no glove unless i get bad blisters
niketripp
I do not wear of glove when I am practicing, but I do wear a glove when I am playing. Not wearing a glove while practicing gives me more feel, but I wear one while playing to not only prevent slipping, but it relieves tension. Weird.
BigFade
I do wear one, but only for the last 4 or 5 years - been golfing for 30. I had a table saw accident that tipped my index finger (only 1/4"), and removed extender tendon and finger nail of middle finger. Last knuckle on middle finger is basically fused in position. Doesn't really seem to make that big a difference in grip, but it does cover the ugly middle finger.

My biggest issue is still removing the glove when putting. I don't like it, but often forget until just before putting, and then I need to re-start my routine.

It's the old dog and new trick thing.
aussiefreddy
I wear a glove for every shot except Full SW, LW, 3/4 to 1/2 shots with Wedges, Pitching, Chipping and putting. For some reason I like to have more feel with the Wedge in hand. I use the Titleist Players Glove soft and supple and don't wear out as quickly as I thought. I also have the Titleist Perma Flex for Practice rounds and FJ all weather glove for wet conditions. Rotating gloves really helps with the wear factor as well as storing and drying them out properly.
CasualWater
I don't use a glove.

Now I live in the mid-Atlantic and it is more humid,
I switched my grips to Lamkin Full Cord.

I found that I didn't like the changing conditions that the deteriorating glove created. Maybe I was just too cheap to switch gloves often enough.

I used to not wear gloves but I didn't play for a while and then when I started back up my hands weren't callused and they got torn.

I've been using a glove lately because it gives me more traction with lighter grip pressure.

A couple of the guys I play with regularly have the "sweaty hand" thing going - they swear by the FJ rain grip no matter what the weather.

The more their hands sweat, the better the glove works (or so they say).
Mr Mizuno
Yes, I wear a glove except for putting or short-game. I'm a feel player

I have worn a glove since I started playing. Yesterday, while trying to get in 18 at Great Bear in the rain, my glove was pretty much soaked thru by the third hole and doing more harm then good. I played the rest of the round without a glove and I think I might try no glove for my next dry round.

I am thinking that the equipment companies have created this fallacy that you need to wear a glove, much like the greeting card companies make you feel like you need to send a Valentine's Day card. biggrin.gif

I wear one except for putting!

I wear a glove when I hit any shot other than pitching wedges or around the green. Never do I chip or putt with a glove on..

I use a glove for full shots, but take it off for everything inside 60 yards, where I need more feel.

I wear a glove for everything except for putting. I tend to save my older gloves for practicing, becuase to me it's just silly to whip out a new glove to go to the range. I just go through gloves too quickly. I wear the Titleist Perma-Sof, and it only takes 2-4 rounds to totally wear out the glove, it is all dependent on the weather.

I use a golf on all shots but putting and green side shots (sands, flops, chips, pitches). Other wise I believe I would lose distance if I did not use a glove.
nikkthestikk
No glove for me until it gets cold or really wet. Don't swing hard don't loose touch...
golfmx
Yes, I wear a glove but it has to be really tight. Once my hand starts to sweat it stretches on me. I'm 6'4 and 230pds and wear a medium glove.
The Boom Bapp
Wear a glove for all except putting. Take it off on the walk to the ball only. Use it to help me stay in a routine.

I use a glove all the time except for when I am putting.
the_krulatz
Premium leather is the only way I go....the synthetic materials don't allow my hands to breath, causing club slippage. But as far as company or brand goes, the high end gloves all tend to be really nice, so I use whatever comes along. However, coming soon.....strictly Callaway. smilie_cally.gif Going to be a staffer! biggrin.gif
