These are the only two gloves I use. I\u2019ll always wear the Claw on my left hand (right-handed golfer) and then I\u2019ll wear the Finger Ten when it gets really cold out and I want a bit of extra warmth. I\u2019ll just wear the Claw 90% of the time because it works awesome in the summer (breathable) and it has a great amount of grip for when things are wet. Continue reading for the full details on each glove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What We Look For In A Glove<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAs I said, I\u2019ve tried a number of different golf gloves over the years and some have been a lot better than others. Some were great in the summer but were terrible in the winter. Some were terrible all year round. Only a few were good year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first thing we look at is how comfortable the glove was<\/strong>. A lot of gloves were big and bulky (which made them warm) but it felt really awkward gripping the club. The glove had to be thin enough to be able to feel the club well and it had to be flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe second thing was the amount of grip<\/strong>. Most gloves worked well in dry weather but as soon as you added water, things got really slippery. The game will get even tougher when you can\u2019t grip the club with confidence, so this is a big deal. Both gloves had a great grip in all types of weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe next thing is the breathability<\/strong>. I have sweaty hands and if you\u2019re in the same boat you probably know all about it. Your hands get drenched, your glove dries all crusty, you have to put on a hard glove next round, and it eventually cracks. This was the main reason I stuck with the Claw (it doesn\u2019t harden or crack).<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe last thing we looked at was durability<\/strong>. When a standard glove gets wet and dries hard, it\u2019s not going to last very long. They\u2019re only like 20 bucks but it does add up if you\u2019re going through them often. The Finger Ten glove has been in my bag for a couple of seasons and I\u2019ve used the Claw a number of times and it still looks brand new.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCaddyDaddy Claw<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nI always used a standard leather glove in the past like most people. They were hot in the summer and they\u2019d always dry hard, get all stiff, and crack after a couple of months. I\u2019m sure you know what I mean and I\u2019m sure you\u2019re sick of that too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There wasn\u2019t really another option to go with until recently. CaddyDaddy came out with a new design that has a\u00a0breathable<\/strong>\u00a0mesh<\/strong>\u00a0on the top and a\u00a0silicone<\/strong>\u00a0palm<\/strong>\u00a0for added grip (you can see our review here<\/a>). The mesh works great in the summer and helps my hand not sweat so much (it still does but definitely better). I also was playing with it recently in near-freezing weather and it was warm enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"What](\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-17.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe palm is made from silicone material so it has a lot of grip<\/strong> and it\u2019s also much tougher<\/strong> than<\/strong> leather<\/strong>. It\u2019s not going to rip or tear, it\u2019s not going to get all crusty, and you can machine wash it when it gets dirty. I was out playing some winter golf the other day and my glove got all wet and muddy. I could still grip my club without slippage and I just tossed it in the wash when I got home and it was as good as new.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSince it does have a breathable mesh on the top, it\u2019s not going to be as tough as a leather glove. The palm definitely is (probably more) but if you\u2019re rough on the mesh then it will tear. Mine hasn\u2019t yet but I\u2019m sure if you jam your hand in and rip it off, you might have some problems. Just take care of it and you should be fine (plus, it\u2019s only\u00a020 bucks<\/strong>\u00a0for a new one).\u00a0See our review<\/a>\u00a0for the best place to get one.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFinger Ten Winter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe second glove I always keep in my bag is the Finger Ten winter glove. I don\u2019t use it too often but it\u2019s what I wear on my right hand when things get cold<\/strong> (or if I have a cut or blister on my hand). It\u2019s not going to be super bulky like some so you\u2019ll still be able to feel your clubs well.<\/p>\n\n\n\nI\u2019ve had this glove for a couple of seasons<\/strong> now and it\u2019s still in awesome shape. It\u2019s only around 15 bucks or so which is a steal considering how long I\u2019ve had it. Like I said before, I only use it 6-8 times per year when I need some extra warmth but I still think that\u2019s really good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/1_1-22.jpg\")
