The golf glove - most durable

[McG]

The title says it all. I find that I can get 4-5 rounds out of a glove before they start to get slippery.

I've been using Titleist and Callaway gloves lately. Anybody come across one that seems more durable?

Hmmmmmmm, maybe you need to clean your grips more often. I can play many more rounds than that with FootJoy WeatherSofts.

How often should they be cleaned? My clubs only have about 10 rounds on them and I did clean them after about 6 rounds with warm water and dishsoap.

I once saw a guy using 4-5 gloves in single round of golf. He told me that his hands were always wet so he rotate the globes during his round. I am not sure if that would help on your case.

Started my year with a new glove, Callaway, purchased in a three pack from Costco for about $19. Finally put it to rest after 39 rounds, and only after playing one whole game in the rain. I take it off to putt and if it gets too wet I have a stretcher I put it on to dry it out. Usually just slip it in the mesh pocket on my bag after a round. I NEVER wash my grips, and I play about 100-120 rounds on them before changing. Guys at Golf Works say that I have very little wear on the grips meaning that I don't grip them very tightly. Maybe that has something to do with the life of my gloves.

if your gloves are wearing out that fast its either your grips need to be washed, maybe new grips all together
or your grip may be incorrect causing it to wear out, too tight maybe?
its humid in the summer here so i rotate 3 gloves, change it every hole, and it cuts down on the wetness from sweat

I have a similar problem, only on the palm so I know its a grip thing, probably too tight and incorrect. My gloves tend to last 10 rounds or so before I develop a hole on the right palm, below the thumb as I'm a lefty. I guess thats why my game is gone to lately.

I purchased the same gloves, it comes with two leather gloves and one synthetic "performance" glove. I'm not sure what I did (I might have chucked it in my bag after it was wet a couple of times) but one of the leather gloves got super stiff and crusty after about 5 rounds and maybe 5 or 6 trips to the range... got dark very quickly as well. I'd blame dirty grips, but I just use the performance glove now, and have been for the last 15 rounds or so, and it has held up great... not all filthy, and just as soft and comfy as it was when I first put it on. I expect it to last many more rounds.

I'd buy these gloves again, but I think I would buy a glove stretcher / drier like Kiwi has for the leather gloves, and not stuff them in a pocket after a rainy day .

That's the same problem I have with mine and they were the same Callaway Costco set of 2 with a tech glove. If they get wet with rain or sweat, they dry up and shrivel to a hard crusty surface. And I take mine off between shots walking up the Fairway. My golf bag has a velcro patch that I stick the glove on to dry between shots.

I have not tried the tech glove yet. It's probably of higher quality than the others.

I don't normally wear gloves but use the FootJoy Weathersof in the rain.

They are also really good when the humidity is so high that if feels like it is raining. Because they are 100% synthetic they don't get stiff /moldy and mine have lasted quite well.

do you use corded grips?
My gloves used to last 8-10 rounds with a full cord grip. With a standard grip (golf pride tour wrap) i have played 20 plus rounds and the Costco Callaway is pretty much done, finally,after I threw it in my bag soaking wet yesterday

My grips are Adams Tour Velvet which came with the clubs. I don't find them really all that great. When I find a decent clubmaker, I think I'll be making a change.
