Size Guide! Choose the right gloves and wear them more comfortably!
Confirming your golf glove size is an important step in ensuring comfort and performance. Here are some suggested steps:
- Measure the length of your hand (most important) : Using a tape measure or string, measure the distance from the tip of your middle finger to your wrist. Measure the straight-line distance. When measuring, keep your fingers and wrists flat and do not bend them. Usually this step is the most important, because Asian hands are usually more consistent (thickness and width are the same). Whether the glove fits the hand mainly depends on whether the length of the glove is too short or too long.
- Measuring the circumference of the palm: Most Asian hand shapes are not very different. When choosing gloves, you do not need to consider the impact of the thickness of the palm and fingers on comfort. However, if the gloves are cut using European, American or non-Asian standard molds, then This needs to be taken into account. To measure the circumference of your hand, use a tape measure or string wrapped around the widest part of your hand, usually between the base of your fingers and the palm of your hand. Don't pull too tight or too loose when measuring.
- Reference the size chart: Different brands of golf gloves may have slightly different sizing standards, so after measuring your palm, refer to the size chart provided by the manufacturer. These tables typically pair palm circumferences with corresponding glove sizes.
- Consider glove material: Different glove materials may have different elasticities and adaptability. Some gloves may feel more compact in the same size, while others may be looser
- Try on: If possible, try on the gloves before purchasing. Golfers can go to the store to actually wear them to more accurately confirm whether the gloves fit properly. The glove should fit snugly around the hand, but not be too tight or too loose, and there should be no space between the tip of either finger and the top of the glove.
Generally speaking, the elasticity of different materials ranges from large to small:
- Elastic cloth area is large > Elastic cloth area
- small lambskin gloves = Nano cloth gloves > Synthetic leather gloves > Traditional microfiber gloves
