Glove or No Glove

swingking

I was playing golf yesterday and I realised how everyone wears a golf glove. I never wear gloves and I get better feel from no glove

Does anyone else not use a glove and is it a complete neccessity

I always wear a glove, I used to take it off putting, but haven't recently as i had to strap my thumb up. It's what you're used to i suppose..

I dont wear a glove if i can help it.

Sometimes in the summer if i'm playing a lot of golf i get blisters of some sort and use that white tape stuff on my fingers to save them from shredding up.

I changed grips from cords to ordinary tour velvets recently so that might help with the fingers. I find if you regularly change your grips you dont really need a glove anyway.

I wear a golf glove driving and hitting irons, and take it off chipping,bunkers and putting, for feel.

Just helps stop blisters etc and causing hard damaged skin, it doesnt help your game i wouldnt say, just keep your hands nice and soft =P

I've never worn a glove either - always felt uncomfortable playing with one.

It would appear to be a necessity at the very top level - 99.99% of pros use a glove for driving and for approach shots. Janzen and Couples are the only 2 that I know of off the top of my head that don't use a glove.

i always use a glove for wood/iron shots... have a very fast swing and have had flying club experiences without a glove! take it off for putting/chipping/bunkers etc.

I never used to but in the last 3 years I always do (except for putting)
When I practice alot my hand can get a bit worn without a glove, also you need one in the rain so its better to be used to one for when the wetness comes...

I ifnd that if you're about to play an important competition I always buy a new glove, it fits great and grips v well and give a little more to your swing and follow thru, it works for me!:rolleyes:
