How to choose a golf glove: size, fit and which hand
A golf glove is a small purchase that changes how securely you hold the club. This guide on how to choose a golf glove covers sizing, which hand to wear it on and how to care for it. InstaSport lists options such as the Penguin two-glove pack at ₹449 and the PowerBilt golf glove at ₹740.
Which hand does the glove go on?
Right-handed golfers wear the glove on the left hand, and left-handed golfers wear it on the right. Check each listing for the hand it is made for; for example the Penguin pack listed here is also available in a right-hand version for left-handed players.
Getting the size right
- The glove should fit snugly with no wrinkles across the palm.
- Fingertips should reach the end of the glove without extra material.
- A tight glove restricts the swing; a loose one slips and causes blisters.
- Try the size chart on the product page and measure your hand before ordering.
Material and weather
Leather gloves feel soft and grippy when dry. Synthetic and hybrid gloves tend to handle sweat and damp conditions better. In humid Indian summers, many golfers carry a spare so they can swap when the first gets sweaty. Look at the product page for material details.
Options listed
- Penguin golf glove, pack of 2: ₹449, good value for regular play.
- PowerBilt golf glove: ₹740, a single left-hand glove.
- Jack Nicklaus Junior 18 Majors glove: ₹799, for younger golfers.
- Callaway Weather Spann Junior glove: ₹890, a weather-oriented junior glove.
Care and extras
Let the glove air-dry after play and store it flat. A glove hanger at ₹299 helps it keep its shape. If you are just starting, practise with PGA Tour 24 Air Flow practice balls at ₹680 before going to the course.
