Matching golf gloves and grips can be a tough job if you play four-season golf, or in any one of the four seasons for that matter.  The best thing to keep in mind when choosing either grips or gloves is making sure the feel you desire is not compromised by either the grip or the glove.  One way to look at it is to ask yourself, if you only had one of these, would it be good enough for me to play confidently?

There are dozens of grip manufacturers on the market today, and hundreds of glove companies that all hope to sell you their products.  For the most part, they are all great, but the choices in grips alone have gone from leather, to rubber, to composite, to oversized, to tennis style (softer), to water-resistant, and on and on.

Gloves have evolved, too, to include almost all the attributes that the grip manufacturers claim as key to game improvement and peak performance.

Let’s break it down this way to make it simple.  First, I would start by choosing the grip.  In choosing a grip, you need to decide if you want a softer feel or like the firm “feel”, a rubber style provides.  Don’t necessarily look at what the pro’s are playing to solve this riddle, because just like clubs, the ones they use are chosen based on their years of experience and skill level, not because they were looking for comfort alone.

There is much debate over the thicker softer vs. the older, firmer feel style (which I prefer), versus what you get in return. 

I prefer a grip that has a tack to it, which also provides good feedback.  What I think is by using this type of firmer grip, I will feel the bad shots too.

I think the softer grips are a big help to those who have arthritis or other joint problems that benefit from a forgiving material.

I have never really developed a preference for a particular style of glove.  I have played with leather, synthetic, and even some non-conforming to USGA Rules of Golf grips.  I personally cannot tell much difference

With that said, I do know that some gloves offer a thicker palm and if I were playing oversized or soft grips, I would consider this a disadvantage due to too much “give”, possibly allowing the club to turn when I do not want it to.

Another consideration is weather.  Our Gotta-Grip products makes grips feel like new, and it really helps when it is hot, rainy, or  extremely dry or when the grips become worn or have lost their new grip feel.  Some people re-grip every month, some every five years.  You should re-grip your clubs at least once a year.  For those who don’t, Gotta-Grip is a necessity.

We feel Gotta-Grip is the perfect tool to keep on your golf bag for almost any condition except cold weather.  While our product will not go bad because of cold weather, it will not be as much help as would a set of cold weather grips if you are playing below 60°F.

Feedback from our customers has shown that in high heat and humidity, or conversely in extremely dry conditions, some people prefer to apply a new grip feel to the grip and not wear a glove at all.

It is up to the individual golfer to match his, or her own golf gloves and golf grips.  We hope that by adding our Gotta-Grip into the equation we offer something for every golfer to use when those old grips just don’t feel right for a particular shot.

Practice, practice, practice…Enjoy Golf!
