The correct way to put on and take off golf gloves ensures comfort and a long life.

Glove life

The lifespan of a new golf glove can vary depending on frequency of use, playing habits, and care for it. Generally speaking, the following are some reference indicators:

  • Frequency of use: If you play golf regularly, your gloves will wear out faster. Professional golfers may need to change their gloves every week , while amateur golfers may need to change their gloves every one to two months.
  • Playing Environment: Gloves may become worn more quickly when playing in humid or rainy weather, as moisture may accelerate leather wear.
  • Hitting Technique: Some experts may use more fingers when gripping the club, which may shorten the life of the glove. Proper grip technique and rotation can help slow down glove wear.
  • How to care for your gloves: Regular cleaning of your gloves, avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun, and trying not to leave your gloves in your golf bag when not in use will help extend the life of your gloves.

Overall, the lifespan of a glove can range from a few weeks to a few months. When you start to feel that your gloves are losing their original elasticity, their anti-slip effect is weakening, or they are showing obvious wear and tear, it’s time to consider replacing them. Keeping your gloves in good condition will help extend their lifespan while ensuring you have a better grip on the course.

Putting on and taking off golf gloves

  1. Check the gloves: Make sure the gloves are clean and undamaged.
  2. Find the right glove: Golf gloves usually come in left- and right-handed versions, so choose the right one based on whether you're left- or right-handed.
  3. Sliding the glove in: Gently slide your fingers into the finger grooves of the glove, making sure that the contact surface between the fingers and the glove fits perfectly.
  4. Tighten the wrist strap: If the glove has an adjustment strap, gently tighten it so that the glove fits your wrist, but do not pull it too tight to avoid affecting blood circulation.
  5. Take off gloves:
  6. Gently pinch your fingertips: Pinch the glove at the end of the finger groove to avoid pulling on the glove and causing damage.
  7. Pull off with other hand: Use your other hand to gently pull off the glove from the wrist, avoiding excessive force, especially if the glove is wet, to avoid damaging the glove or skin.

Tips and tricks

  • Avoid pulling too hard: Do not pull too hard on the gloves as this may damage the material. For details, in the next section we will mention the situation where gloves are damaged due to incorrect pulling!
  • Avoid wearing gloves for long periods of time: When not playing ball, try to avoid wearing gloves for long periods of time to prevent the gloves from losing their elasticity.
  • Keep them clean: Clean your gloves regularly with mild soap and water and let them air dry.
  • Proper donning and doffing will help ensure the comfort and functionality of your golf gloves while extending their lifespan.

Abnormal damage to gloves!

In the current glove manufacturing process, sewing is an unavoidable process, but the use of sutures also causes some problems. Due to sewing, there are holes caused by stitches on the complete leather and cloth surfaces, and the sewing holes are usually regular straight lines or shapes. This will cause the tight stitches to damage the leather and cloth when the gloves are pulled hard. The fabric creates sharp cuts that ultimately make the glove more susceptible to damage.

PS In recent years, some manufacturers have tried to use glue instead of sewing, but the results are very unsatisfactory! Because the glue is affected by hot and cold environments, the chemical properties of the glue will change, causing problems such as softening and leakage, and the glue will lose its stickiness after being left for a long time. Therefore, after suffering from the painful experience, now mainstream gloves have changed back to traditional gloves. Sewing and patchwork craftsmanship.

Gloves usually have the following seams:

  • Velcro material joint on back of hand
  • The joint between the palm and the back of the hand on the side of the wrist
  • The edge of the fingers, the joint between the palm and the back of the hand

Golf gloves of normal quality will not easily break or be damaged unless you pull the gloves deliberately and follow the proper putting on and taking off procedures. Therefore, golfers can use them with peace of mind without worrying about the gloves being too fragile. But golf gloves are sports consumables after all, and it is normal for them to get damaged after being used for a long time.

Precautions for wearing

parts mistake correct
Palm area Pull hard on one side of the fabric at the wrist Pull the fabric evenly along the wrist so that the palm of the hand enters the glove
Finger area Pull hard on one side of the fabric at the wrist Hold the fingers of both hands tightly so that the glove fits each finger

PS If each finger cannot fit the glove, choose a smaller size glove.

Featured Q&A

Why do you need to wear gloves when playing golf?

The origins of golf gloves can be traced back to the early history of golf. The earliest golf gloves were designed to provide better grip and protect the player's hands.

In Scotland, the birthplace of golf, golfers often use sheepskin gloves. These gloves provide a better grip on the club and reduce friction on the hands. This is very important for playing golf in different weather conditions. In wet Scottish weather, maintaining a stable grip on the club is crucial.

  • Friction, control, and stability: Golf club handles are often made of metal, rubber, or other materials, and they can become relatively slippery, especially in humid or hot weather conditions. Wearing gloves can provide a better grip and help you hold the club more firmly, improving your swing control and stability.
  • Protection (Reduced Friction): The golf club swing creates some friction, which can lead to wear, blisters, or abrasions on your hands if you don’t wear gloves. Wearing gloves can reduce friction between your hands and club and protect your skin.
  • Provide comfort: Wearing gloves can provide a level of cushioning and support, making your hands feel more comfortable during your swing. This helps reduce the impact of the golf swing on the hand and reduces fatigue.
  • Prevent Sweat: In hot weather, your hands may sweat, which can lead to slippery hands and reduced grip. Golf gloves are often sweat-wicking, which can help absorb sweat and keep your hands dry, thus maintaining a better grip.
  • Fashion: Good-looking gloves show a golfer's confident style.

In short, wearing gloves can improve the golfer's control, comfort and protection, and is an important piece of equipment in the game of golf. Different golfers may choose different types of gloves to suit different weather conditions and personal preferences.

Can I play ball without gloves?

A: Yes.

Whether to wear gloves is a personal choice and can be decided based on personal preference and actual conditions.

Some golfers choose not to wear gloves because they prefer the feel of the club with their bare hands, or they think gloves will reduce their feel. In dry and mild weather conditions, some golfers may prefer not to wear gloves.

However, in wet or cold weather conditions, or when hands are prone to sweating, wearing gloves can provide better grip and protection. Gloves also reduce friction against the skin of your hands during the golf swing, reducing fatigue and discomfort.

Cabretta leather from different regions may have slightly different characteristics and qualities, depending on the goat breed, diet and other environmental factors. Other sheepskin-producing regions such as China, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, etc., have extensive goat and sheep farming industries. Although these countries also produce high-quality sheepskins, they also produce large quantities of low-end and cheap sheepskins, which are usually used in mass production. cheap leather products. Low-end sheepskins in these areas are usually less expensive and not as good as high-end leathers.

  • South Africa: South Africa is one of the main production areas of Cabretta leather. The country's dry climate and large tracts of pasture make it an ideal location for lambskin production.
  • Ireland: Ireland is one of the main producers of Cabretta leather and is known for its rich grasslands and climate suitable for raising lambs. Irish lambskin generally has excellent texture and quality.
