Do you take your glove off to putt? [POLL]

[peter3]

Before this season, I used a glove and never took it off when I putted. One day at the start of this season, I forgot my glove(s) at home, so I played without. Haven't used a glove since. So you could say I went from one extreme to the other in 4 hours

[Big D McGee]

It's something I have to remember to do. But I'm getting better at remembering, since my stroke is MUCH better with the glove off. I really have more feel. Heck, putting is the area of my game that's best right now, any improvement at all will help lower my score.

i take it off only so i can get a little sun on it, i dont really notice a huge difference with it on.. i just dont want a milk bottle white hand

[wwpack7]

take it off with shots 60 yards and in. feel like i have a much better feel from these short distances bare handed.

[packerfan1]

MY hands sweat so badly that I need a glove for most shots...but paradoxically I need to remove the glove between most shots, so that the glove doesn't get soaked.

 

I carry two gloves, I sweat in the palms and hands so badly.

 

Thanks for the genetics, dad.

I usually take the glove off for less than full swings on approaches and putting.

I dont wear a glove, but if i did, i'd wear it while putting because jack did.

[ryegolfer]

I never wear the glove to putt. I don't wear it for wedge shots of any kind. Also, I take it off in between shots; I find that it helps me relax and then when I put it on before each shot I can concentrate better.

[Northphillygolfer]

I take my glove off for all shots 100 yards and in. This helps me with feel.

[johnnystick77]

I always take my glove off to putt. It's definitely a feel thing. I think I've definitely left it on once or twice if i'm playing through or something. It kind of lets the glove and the hand breathe, espesially on a humid day

[Ducky]

I take my glove off to putt, but I could never understand why everyone places the glove in there back pocket with the fingers pointing up. Seems to be too much hassle for me, so I just place it in my side pocket.

[jcigars]

I always take it off to put...goes in the back right pocket

[MrJones]

Glove off. I don't like wearing on but it's pretty humid down here and I need it to keep a good grip. Between shots I take it off to try and keep it dry. I don't want it on while putting or chipping.

[Rickochet]

It doesn't bother me to putt with it on. In the summer time when my hands sweat alot I rotate 2 or 3 gloves and hang them on the cart roof post to dry, so I do take my glove off when I do that. If the glove is not too sweatty I just leave it on all of the time.

I dont play with a glove, I play corded grips and sand them down with some sand paper to bring out the cord a bit more. I like the feel of a heavily corded grip, even on my putter. I know if I can feel the cord in my hands I'm not holding the club too tight.

[Hoover98]

Always. I don't use one from about 50 yards and in. Never felt right for some reason.

[danielscho]

Any shot from 80 yards in i take my glove off, it give me a bit more feel in my opinion

I do the same exact thing...

[NutmegOfConsolation]

I only put the glove on when I'm about to hit either my woods or irons. Its never on for wedges or my putter

[dispatch096]

i hit the ball, take it off and stick it in my right back pocket. dont use it for chips or any short game. its definitely not on while putting.

[sergizmo]

I leave it on. For me the lower hand controls the speed of putts (claw grip) and the upper (gloved) hand just steadies the putter.

 

I sweat a lot as well, so unless there are 6+ gloves in my bag, I'm forcing my hand back into a sticky glove on the next tee if I take it off to putt. No thanks.

 

Take it off now. I don't know what I was thinking earlier. :(

[TRAV1]

I take the glove off. Better feel, but I get mentally primed when I take the glove off (kind of my pre-shot routine).

[Olan1987]

Take glove off from a 100 yards and in. Better feel

[Ezgolfer]

Never tried taking gloves off . I am always busy thinking about shots , distance & carts near the green.

Will try this with less than 100 yards . I think it makes more sense with wedges to get an exact feel of club for an accurate ball flight & distance .

Anyone not using the Glove with irons and driver ?

[sigmamason]

Take the glove, but Stevie Wonder is a better putter than me anyway...

[DaveyH]

i just keep the glove on and rest my hands till theyre comphy.

[thusgone]

I usually take my pants off to putt. I find it relaxes me . . .

[rblmp32]

Yup. Can't stand putting or chipping with the glove on.

[dpark]

I prefer to putt without a glove because I get better "feel" without it.

[beninfluence]

I put my glove on before i get on the 1st tee and take it off after i come off the 18th green!

If it's raining i wear a pair of Mac wets and if it's cold i wear a pair of masters orge gloves with a Gore windstopper lining!
