Golf gloves for right-handed and left-handed players

One glove, on the leading hand

The golfer usually wears a single glove on their leading hand, which is the one placed at the top of the grip: the left hand for a right-handed player, the right hand for a left-handed player. A “glove for right-handed” players is therefore worn on the left hand. This glove improves grip on the club, prevents the club from twisting in the hand at impact and protects the skin from friction and blisters over time.

The other accessories

Golf accessories also come in various forms:

• Balls.

• Training equipment.

All accessories can be found on the accessories page.

Leather or synthetic

A glove made from fine leather, often cabretta, a very soft lambskin, offers the best feel of the club: it is favoured by experienced players, but wears out faster. The glove made from synthetic or microfiber, such as Srixon All Weather, Callaway Syntech or Cobra Micro Grip Flex, is more durable and maintains its grip even when wet. Hybrid gloves combine leather in the palm with synthetic material on the back. The Under Armour Iso-Chill cools the hand in hot weather, while the Cobra Stormgrip, sold in pairs, maintains grip in the rain and cold.

Size and lifespan

A glove for golf should fit snugly, like a second skin, without any folds in the palm or space at the tips of the fingers: a glove that is too large can slide off the hand, and a glove that is too small can tear. It is removed between shots, especially on the green, to let it dry, and should be stored flat in its packaging. A glove with a smooth and shiny palm has lost its grip: it needs to be replaced. The women’s models Srixon and Zoom are designed for smaller hands, and the Beaver Golf includes a ball marker.

Good deals

The best finds can also be discovered in the good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped within 24 hours are prepared and dispatched in 24 hours. The key events of the year follow a regular pattern: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the end of year holidays, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, then the summer sales and back to school.

Frequently asked questions

Which hand should a right-handed golfer wear their glove on?

The right-handed player wears their glove on the left hand, which is placed at the top of the grip. A “glove for right-handed” players is therefore worn on the left, and vice versa for a left-handed player, who wears it on the right hand.

What glove should I choose for playing in the rain?

All-weather gloves, like the Srixon All Weather, made from synthetic material, maintain their grip even when wet. Some golfers wear them on both hands when the rain sets in.

How can I tell if my glove is the right size?

The glove should fit the hand like a second skin, without any folds in the palm or space at the tips of the fingers, and the tab should close without pulling. An glove that is too large can shift on the grip.

Is there a special glove for winter?

In cold weather, winter gloves like the Cobra Stormgrip, often sold in pairs, can be worn on both hands. More insulating, they keep the fingers warm and maintain grip on the club.

How can I make my glove last longer?

Remove it between shots on the green, allow it to dry flat after the round and store it in its packaging to keep its shape. Alternating between two gloves during hot rounds also helps preserve them.
