I used the Callaway warbird for a season and a half, and both only have a little black mark on the palm, I could game them for another year, but as my game got better I wanted more feel and found that the warbirds all of a sudden would shift on my hand. Now I use the Srixon Tour Cabretta (as my screen name states I am a tool), Srixon hooks me up with everything I could want. I get 4 srixon gloves for the price of the warbird 2 pack.

Footjoy StaSof is to me the best glove out there BUT living in humid Dubai and coming from the wet UK, shelling out 20-25 bucks for an easily trashed glove is not something that appeals.

 

I have a Hattie Smart glove too but haven't played it - feels too good to use! The leather is fantasticly soft. I actually want to buy a Ladies L and R and give them to the gf as a pair! They're beautiful.

 

However, on a few trips out to the Far East, I happened upon the Footjoy TropiCool, a mesh-backed synthetic glove, which is just fantastic in hot and humid conidtions. I stocked up and currently have about 15.

Haven't seen them outside Asia nor on auction/Internet. Well worth it if you play a lot in the heat and have problems with either slippage or simply getting through new leather gloves to quickly.

Will try to get a few pictures up.

 

Also used to like the FJ WeatherSof GTX as a competent, durable and good value all-rounder.

Likewise, some Etonic gloves I've had in the past have been really dependable - good performing, good fit and long-lasting. Not the first name people look at for gloves but I really rate the ones I've had, espeically compared to Nike & Callaway gloves I've used in the past - the 'tonics were loads better.

 

Also picked up a couple of Puma gloves which look pretty slick - tried on their open back one too but didn't buy, it was well over 30 bucks!

 

Have also picked up my first Fit 39, tried it the other night on a par3 course. Great grip, wasn't too keen on the fit as the neoprene was stretching and giving, making my hand move about! Kinda weird. Palm stayed impressively stable on the club grip, though. More testing needed. Has potential. I see why they're getting the good comments here.

 

Have a 3M Greptile somewhere but wasn't bowled over when I used it. Will have to give it another blast but being leather, it's not ideal for where I live.

 

Also want to try one of those Iomics.

 

Original Roo kangaroo leather gloves, bought 3 before I moved to Dubai, supposed to be good in the heat.

One dried up, stitching fell apart on another and the third was either lost or binned. Poor show.

 

Anyone tried the Possum leather gloves? I know SMT were making them a while back, supposed to last ages.

You should add the Mizuno Retroflex in there. That is my new good weather glove. Good fitting and durable.

I couldn't agree more. IMO The Retro Flex is the best glove on the market for the money.

 

+2 for the Mizuno Retroflex glove.

The best glove I found for the price and wear is the Zevo Cabretta glove at Golfsmith. For $6 you cant go wrong. Lasts a long time, mesh inbetween the fingers and feels great. Oh, did I mention it $6. It will be the best $6 you have ever spent.

Mizuno Retrofit.

 

Snug fit, lasts a LONG time and not synthetic.

+4 On the Mizuno Retroflex. My guy at Edwin Watts plays far more than I get to yearly and swore by them so I tried them. Soft, fairly thin and lasted 13 rounds and at least a dozen range trips all with cord grips. Based on this thread I may try the Srixon or a Titleist Players for game day glove but will keep a stock of the Retros around- they are just a great all around glove-summer heat especially; performed MUCH better than StaSof for me in summer and NEVER get that dried up crunchy feel.

I like the HJ Full Leather the best because I'm a lefty who has a cadet ML i.e. hard to find a great fit

I have used the Bionic and they last forever and eliminate fatigue like no other.

The Nike Dry Fit are in the bag @ 1.99 a piece on sale.

The FJ Rain Gloves are awesome on hot humid days as well as in the rain. They're microfiber.

None - they all wear too quickly and aren't cost effective.

 

You must have problems with your grip pressure then :)

 

I wear the Footjoy StaSof players glove and for range practice the Footjoy SciFlex glove, and I can easily use the same two gloves an entire season before they start to wear out - so you most likely are holding the club too tight and apply too much pressure to the grip.....just an observation :)

www.bhmgolf.com sells the Srixon cabretta leather gloves.

 

 

I totally love the Srixon Cabretta leather glove. Feels so much softer than other gloves, it just don't know why. The only problem is that I can not find a retailer anywhere to be found. But if I do I'll buy them in bulk for sure, they are great.

 

 

Not bashing or negging on BHM....BUT I'd advise anybody considering buying anything from them to do a little google on them or research this forum on their business practices...just a suggestion.

None! I don't wear one. Works better that way when it's wet as well. I use the new BCT cord grips --- no need for a glove!

 

As a side benefit, it saves $40/month and you don't end up with one tanned and one white hand. :rolleyes:

for me the best glove is definitely the Bridgestone Tour Leather Glove. I t cannot be beaten. I have had the players, stasoft, permasoft, srixon tour and nothing beats the bridgestone. by the way never buy the callaway pro games series. It literally lasted 15 holes.

I like the Weathersof for practice because of the durability of the synthetic palm pads, but I play with the Adidas Climacool Lethal XT. Uber confortable with the stretch Climacool fabric on the back, and the cabretta leather palm is soft. As an added bonus, it's black so it doesn't show wear or dirt very easily - unless I wear a hole in it, it always looks pretty new.
