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!

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

Whats

Is it because a ball marker is a personal thing or what - I miss it a bit on my Footjoy gloves actually

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

I think it's because the sister company makes the worlds best golf glove - Footjoy StaSof

Tiger plays a Sta Soft with a swoosh stitched into it

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

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

[cwdlaw223]

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?

[Swingtheclub]

Does anyone but me remember the best desighned and fitting glove ever


Stargrip  ahhhhhhhhhhh but bankrupsy loomed


Swing

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'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.

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.

[awd]

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.

[coldsoul]

I loved ben hogan's glove. They wore through horribly quick but the feel was amazing.

[Greenie09]

Just bought and played with a Ping M-Fit. I have always been a fan of FJ, Titleist, and Nike. Never thought of Ping for a glove, but I was very pleasantly surprised with the comfort of the Ping. It's very soft, shock absorbent, and fits great. Should be great for fall and winter play when the ball and clubs are stiffer.

These gloves are the ducksnuts for sure. Ultra thin and don't wear out. Kangaroo leather cant be ripped and won't wear out for ages.

YES!!

Zero Restriction rain gloves are the "ducksnuts"  

[Pepperturbo]

I didn't vote because you offered Callaway Tour glove but not my choice in all weather glove which is made by Zero Restriction, which also makes all my pull overs and rain gear.

[Guillotine007]

You MUST in your life try Cutters gloves if but one time.  I found one at Midwest Golf Lab (St. Louis) almost 2 years ago and it finally just died.  

They have their Tour glove and Humid Weather glove.  I went humid and it was the greatest glove I've ever had, by far and away.  Soft, Thin, Waterproof, Grippy Areas on parts of the fingers and palm which never wear out.  You can just wash it and the tackiness comes back.

I can't find them ANYWHERE in ohio and I've looked so the internet came to my rescue.  The next time I'm in STL I'll definitely by swinging by Midwest Golf Lab to pick up some clubs (and maybe try out some sweet Miuras).

[Pepperturbo]

I checked out "cutter gloves"...interesting.  Kinda looks like a me too product, and very pricey at that being $34. compared to the best cabretta leather golf gloves.

Part of the value of my choice in gloves is being able to see if my grip is set properly, when it's not my choice in golf gloves tell me by the end of 18 holes, sometimes sooner.  Their golf glove has been reinforced with what appears to be a different more sturdy material in those same wear areas which would make the glove last longer, but would eliminate its ability to tell me if my grip is off.

It's obvious they make gloves for all sports and probably good ones.  However, in those sports a glove plays a different roll compared to golf.  The "grip" in golf is one of the core contributors to successful ball striking, and it's slightly different compared to how one grips other sports equipment.  Its a good golf glove for a beginner or someone that isn't concerned about their grip and wants a glove to last forever... not a good grip for insuring a solid grip in golf.
