That is why a golf glove is so important
The equipment of a golfer includes not only rackets and golf balls, but above all the right clothing. This includes both polo shirts and pants as well as golf shoes and golf gloves. The latter may not have everyone on their checklist for golf equipment. We explain to you why a golf glove for playing golf is so important and what you should consider when buying.
Why should you wear a glove at the Golf?
The golf glove is an integral part of the equipment of a golfer. But why? There are mutliple reasons for this. On the one hand, the glove offers you a much better grip and therefore also stability in the Golf. Because it prevents your golf club from turning or slipping minimally when it is off. On the other hand, it protects your hands from possible blisters by friction the golf club. This happens particularly easily if you sweat the golf or is a high humidity outside.
By the way: The golf glove is not only essential in the professional sector, but already from the beginning. Therefore, you should definitely buy one as a beginner.
Which hand does the golf glove belong on?
The golf glove is usually only worn on one hand, in the weaker hand. In the case of right -handed people, this is the left hand and the rights for left -handed people. The reason for this is that the upper hand has more racket contact and is therefore more susceptible to lose your hold.
What special properties should I pay attention to when buying?
When buying, you should consider several aspects. The grip plays a crucial role here. In addition, it should also be comfortable and durable. We are now taking a closer look at a few more points.
The glove for the right hand
There are both golf gloves for right and left-handed people. As already described briefly above, as a right -handed man you need one for the left hand and as a left -hander for the right. Since they are only sold individually, you should make sure when buying buying the right glove for the right hand.
Precise fit of the glove
Ideally, the golf glove should sit like a glove. If you should buy one for the first time, it's best to get advice in a shop and try it out beforehand. In any case, you will find the perfect fit!
Processing and material of the golf glove
When buying, pay particular attention to the quality and processing of the seams. If they are poorly processed, they can not only tear quickly, but also cause pressure points or bubbles on the hands.
With the material, you should particularly use breathable and absorbent gloves so that you don't sweat during the game.
