$24 glove.  For $27 I can get 4 Kirklands.  Titleist gloves for Pro V1 users?  Bring your A game and wallet or go home!  Country club golf?   

[nitram]

I can get 'em for roughly $15/per. Admittedly I haven't tried Kirkland although I've tried several others and all are good. I just prefer the Players because I've used them since they were introduced and have never had a mis-size, misplaced seam, or found a better glove. As far as what else I wrote, it was an attempt to poke fun at the commercials running these days about centered balls.

 

Now as far as your CC golf comment, to each their own. No one is telling you what club, ball, or glove to play. If you want to bargain shop, good on you. I'm guilty of that myself. It's a free country and you can spend your money however you want. Cheers

I have been playing the BIONIC StableGrip for several years. These are thicker than normal, have padding on fingers and a stitched slot in the palm to lay the grip across. Good anchor for clubs.

 

These cost about $26 each, and are very durable. Two of these will last me a season of something golfish twice a week. I wash them a couple of times with saddle soap during season to keep soft and tacky.

 

These remind me of handball gloves which some of used down in Oklahoma years ago. A local sports shop was going out of business, and a co-worker bought a box of 12 left-handed handball gloves for very cheap. He sold me and other golfing buddies a couple each. These lasted for a long time.

 

I've may try some offbrand all-laether cabretta gloves that cost $6 each. / The StableGrips feel a bit klunky sometimes.

My favorite gloves are the Titleist Players and Taylormade Tour Preferred Flex. I usually game the Kirkland Signature gloves based on price.

 

This is for the same reason that I typically game Srixon Z Stars even though they aren't my favorite ball. I still periodically game my favorite balls and gloves, and just because I game KSig gloves and Srixon balls 80% of the time, it doesn't mean they are my favorite. 🙂

Synthetic gloves tend to look less worn and less dirty for me after a few rounds of use.  Used to buy the 2 pack of FJ Weathersof's and while I think they are an excellent glove, these are cheaper and just as durable in my experience.

Yet another Finger Ten Rain Grip vote here!  Still on my first one, multiple machine washes, no sign of stopping.  Not as soft as cabretta but super reliable in any weather, sweat, breathable stretchy back (liked this over my FJ Rain gloves), no problem w velcro.  Great cheap test.

 

I even have a pair to use for pullups on an outdoor rain-soaked bar.

 

I will say for some grips you don't really need a glove, including the Pure DTX ones I have, and leather of course.

 

Too bad these don't come in cadet sizes, oh well.

Titleist Players, the name says it all

[CLSS]

I've used FootJoy StaSof since the 90s and they are great.

Having seen many post on MG with a Cabretta leather offering for that low price, I will have to try it.

Sizing might be a little different, but I hope to find a close fit.

Thanks

What no love for the 

Rock Bottom Golf- MLH Cabretta Leather Glove...?

I've been using these for as long as I can remember. I finally ran out of my stash I bought many yrs ago at a golf show early this yr. I ordered a dozen of them this yr. and except for changing their logo on the glove these are the same quality as before. At under $6 a glove you can't go wrong. Long lasting, good feeling and a good bargin IMO.

FJ Pure Touch……

 

is there any other glove?

[FormerBigDaddy]

Titleist Players. Perfect fit, comfortable, durable, and classy. 

[Lasorcier]

I'll second the bionic stable grip.  Extremely durable and comfortable.

[Chief Illiniwek]

I like Bender gloves a lot.

[Bogey Fett]

TaylorMade Stratus Tech. They offer in-between sizes and the M/L fits my long skinny fingers like a...glove.

 

Can’t speak to long term durability as I just recently discovered them, but in the balmy Southeast no glove lasts very long. A 2-pack is $22 and I rotate them during the round to keep them mostly dry.

I'm a big fan of the Ping Tour gloves.

[dekez]

MG Dynagrip Elite.  $7.50.

[RobotDoctor]

Count me in the small group for Footjoy Pure Touch.  These gloves fit the best of any I’ve ever tried and last.  I usually rotate 3 pairs at a time.  Second choice would be the Titleist Players glove.

Haven't used anything other than the Players for years. The perfect glove. A pleasure to put it on. 

 

Don't belong to a country club. I've seen Players on munis. I work like crazy, have a bit of disposable income, and golf is one of the few luxuries  I afford myself - so splurging a little on gloves and balls doesn't seem outrageous.

 

Besides, even at its cheapest, golf is simply an expensive game relative to almost any other sport. I also play tennis (for instance). Get racquet re-strung once a year ( ~ $30). Re-grip ( ~ $2 - do it myself - way easier to re-grip a racquet, something that takes ten minutes in the basement, than it is to re-grip 14 golf clubs). Several cans of balls (12 cans of Wilsons for about $24). Free court space all over the place. In other words, for a single round of golf, I can play tennis for a year. And that's just greens fees - doesn't count balls, gloves and all the other incidentals (that add up - few weekenders don't have lunch and drinks afterwards at least some of the time - something you don't associate with any other sport). 

 

So in the grand scheme of things, the difference between a $25 glove and a $10 glove is barely a rounding error. Why not play the best?

 

My goal with golf (when I get to play) is not to figure out how cheap I can make it, but how pleasurable I can make it. 

 

Of course YMMV. Everyone thinks about golf differently.

 

 

So to me,

Yeah bro, for sure.  I recently got a 3 pack off the bay for a decent price.  They are probably the most expensive gloves for golf on the planet so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.  I've been missing out for sure.  These are so soft it makes a baby's a** seem rock hard.  I will treat myself to the FJ Pure Touch.  I hope these last awhile though.

 Who said Titleist gloves are "the best?"

 

And the Kirklands are less than $7 each, not $10.  I've played Footjoys and Titleist gloves, and to me the Kirklands are 90% as good.  Almost no compromise and MUCH cheaper.  

 

BTW, I don't play PROV1's either for the same reason.  Waste of money.

Gotcha man. To each his own. This is, after all, the wild world of WRX. "Waste of money" is seriously relative.

 

There's guys here that buy used/recovered golf balls online(they are, after all, 90% as good) and get their clubs at yard sales or on eBay. To them, if you buy new balls (of any kind) or a new club, you are wasting your money, and they wouldn't see you as "saving" on Kirkland, they'd see you as splurging - there are gloves cheaper that $7.

 

Then there are a few guys here that will spend upward of $1K (more than a decent set of clubs cost) on a single driver shaft. 

 

I (like most, including probably you) am in between. Decent set of sticks, but stock. Changing shafts would likely add little to my game. Only customization I do is putting better grips on. I do enjoy ProV1s, but get how you could see that as a waste. Just remember there are folks out there in America that would think you extravagant if you played anything but the cheapest equipment, on weekday afternoons on the cheapest local muni.

 

I suppose we all define "waste" largely by what our respective comfort zones are. But really, any equipment is secondary to enjoyment of the game. 

 

Hope you've been able to get out a lot during this past year. Golf was a lifesaver - one of the few sports almost built for social distancing.

Same boat here in No. VA - high humidity.  I was a Titleist Players customer for a really long time (loved the feel but they don't last very long and are expensive), then tried the Hirzl Golf Trust Control 2.0 for a few months and it was OK, but didn't last as long as I thought they would.  Due to the humidity and the amount of rounds I'm playing and practicing I have moved on to the Finger Ten Rain gloves based on some recommendations from this forum.  They have been great gloves and appear they will last and were only $15 for two --- sold, sold, sold!

[Vinnieluvv]

Had a bunch of premium Nike and Mizuno gloves I got on clearance sales and when I went through those I switched to Kirklands and I'm very happy with its performance and price. 

[HackerDad78]

I've been really pleased with the gloves I've bought from Asher Golf. They feel every bit as good as any other "premium" glove out there.  I believe they're cabretta leather as well.  Give them a shot!
