Men's golf belts

Why a braided belt is suitable for swing

The braided belt is suitable for swing because it has no fixed holes: the prong of the buckle slides between two strands, exactly where the tension is just right. The golfer can therefore adjust the tightness to the nearest half-centimetre, something a hole belt can't do. During the club's upswing, the torso rotates while the hips resist; a belt that's too tight restricts this shift and digs into the abdomen with each shot. The braid, more flexible than a solid leather strap, bends with the body in the stance position, leaning over the ball, without digging into the stomach or pinching the waist during long rounds of eighteen holes.

Puma Jackpot or adidas stretchy: two braidings

The Puma Jackpot Braided focuses on a tight braid and a classic metal buckle: the prong goes through the braid, which provides a firm hold and a smart look, similar to a city belt. The stretchy braided belt adidas combines recycled polyester threads with an elastomer, elastodiene, and an adjustable buckle: it slightly stretches as the hips turn, then returns to its shape when finished. The first one suits players who like to feel a snug fit; the second one is for those who prioritize freedom of movement and a stay-put fit, even after a meal at the clubhouse.

Size, adjustment, and care of a golf belt

The size of a golf belt is chosen based on the waist measurement taken where the bottom of the outfit actually sits, often just below the navel. At adidas, the braided model comes in S/M, M/L, and L/XL, with each size covering a range of waist sizes due to its elasticity. A well-chosen braided belt fastens towards the middle of its braid, allowing for some leeway if wearing an added layer in winter. For care, a damp cloth is enough to remove dirt and sweat; avoid the washing machine, which relaxes the fibres, and let it dry flat, rolled without creases, away from a radiator.

Great deals

Great finds can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearances, sales, Black Friday.

Frequently asked questions

Is a golf belt mandatory on all courses?

No golf rule requires it, but many clubs include it in their dress code as soon as the shirt is tucked in. It's best to check the course's rules before a competition or first visit.

How do you make a hole in a braided belt?

You shouldn’t punch a hole in it: the prong goes between the strands of the braid, at the desired spot. Punching would cut the fibres and eventually fray the belt around the hole.

Does an elastic belt stretch over time?

A quality stretchy strap retains its elasticity for several seasons if you avoid heat and machine washing. Flat drying and rolled storage limit the permanent stretching of the fibres.

What colour golf belt should you choose for versatile use?

Black and navy go well with most golf outfits and fit any occasion. White or a bright shade adds a summer touch, provided the rest of the outfit remains understated.

Can a golf belt be worn outside the course?

Yes, a plain braided belt like the Puma Jackpot also pairs well with casual everyday attire. Its precise adjustment and flexibility are also appreciated at the office or while travelling.
