Buying a new glove!

I’m all about the MG gloves, one of the best deals in golf!

I’ve been wearing Titleist gloves for a few years. Sounds like I need to try out MG to save money.

Where do you buy the MG gloves? I’d like to try them.

Save your money and don’t buy a glove. After seeing an Aussie ladies tournament on tv I saw one pro had never worn a glove so I stopped wearing one. The only exception is if the grip gets slippery when wet. I have two small areas or toughened skin. One on the forefinger of my left hand and the other on the fleshy part of the hand under the left thumb. Otherwise I can’t tell any difference other than not having to wear out gloves.

I haven’t worn a glove for years.

It would be interesting to see the modern thinking on this. How many shots am I loosing or are you gaining?

I get them off their site, I believe they are on Amazon as well (depending on where you live)

@jon how do you find the MG glove? They look premium but at $5.99 I’m a little skeptical

Ive been using the dynagrip elite for years and really like it for the value. Give it a shot, if you don’t like it, then it only cost you less than $10 :joy:

I found cadets fit me best (which I guess means I have carnie hands per the post above :P) but it makes it frustrating with trying to buy gloves from the more boutique glove co’s out there (North Coast, Malbon, Kakadu, etc.). Everyone seems to make non-cadet golf gloves but cadet means I am pretty much FootJoy for the longhaul (good quality and durability for the price).

Even so, FJ Stasof tends to wear out after a few months after normal usage so I wouldn’t spend a a lot more on a glove unless it was going to last a lot longer.

Mg gloves are the only ones I wear anymore… they are a great value buy.

Definitely not a cheap knockoff… they are worth stocking up on!

I just put in an order for one of their elite gloves. The regular model was out of stock. Do you have a preference between models?

I think I usually spend the extra dollar for the premium… I bought five at the beginning of the season and haven’t bought them again.

Their website says it is thinner but otherwise doesn’t explain what the difference is. I assume a thinner glove will feel better but be less durable.

I tried the HRZL glove made out of kangaroo leather. It was advertised to last longer and be more durable than cow leather…but it wore through just as quickly. I’ll also look into the MG gloves. Good topic, thank you!

Mg gloves are great… Costco sells good gloves if you aren’t rocking yeti paws…

FWIW, I’m trying the Zero Friction glove, caught them on special, thought I’d try.
Overall: comfy, seem durable so far. Biggest complaint (and it’s huge!) I think they have the Velcro patch backwards; definitely not secure. I’ve had Velcro come loose during several swings🤬.
I’ll probably pull another (think I got 3) to see if it’s any better, but if not, I can’t recommend and will go back to FJ WeatherSof.
Based on recommendations here, might try MG next time I buy.

I tend to go through glove pretty quickly, I always get a hole in palm. I bought a CaddyDaddy Claw glove a couple of months ago because they claim to be the most durable glove out there. I hit balls almost daily, and so far I am impressed.

I also endorse the mg gloves! I’ve been using them (and the company they bought, Star Golf) for years. I’m pretty hard on gloves - lots of sweat - but I don’t mind going through several of these a season at their price.

That glove looks interesting and I may have to give that one a try. I haven’t been that impressed my more expensive gloves so I tend to look for deals. I bought a bunch of Etonic gloves for about $3 each and used those until I ran out last year. I actually found them better than the $20-$25 FJ gloves.

Last year and now this year I have some Mizuno gloves I got in a tournament and the Costco Kirkland gloves. The Mizunos are nice but don’t hold up. The Costco gloves are much sturdier, but in one package the sizing is inconsistent and 1 glove was just unwearable with fingers too short and palm too large. For the price though you can toss 1 glove and come out ahead.
