How Do I Know I Have The Right Size Golf Glove?

To verify you have the right glove sizing, check the following: You have zero to minimal fingertip excess material. The glove conforms to your hand and does not feel loose across the palm. You can make a fist in the glove without it being too tight or uncomfortable. Some gloves, like the UpGlove, use a mesh backing which will flex and provide additional comfort. Just make sure your strap is pulled to a comfortable fit. You'll hear a lot about a glove fitting like second skin. What does that feel like? Your guess is as good as mine. You want something that is comfortable and does not have a lot of excess material.

Should a golf glove fit snug?

Yes. You don't want extra material in the fingers or across the palm. This is more important when you're gripping the club. So test the fit when you're gripping the club.

What size golf glove do most men wear?

Most men will fall into these sizes: Medium, Medium Large, or Large. However, it's still important for you to measure and find the right fit for you.

How to tell if a golf glove is too small?

The best way to test this is by making a fist. If you can't make a fist comfortably, it's definitely too small. Additionally, you should have a little wiggle room to adjust the closure. Wearing a glove that is too small will reduce the performance and how long the glove will last.

Do golf gloves stretch over time?

Yes. Golf gloves tend to stretch over time. Leather gloves will tend to stretch more than synthetic gloves. So it will depend on the material and design. For example, the UpGlove uses a mesh-flex backing which will stretch with your hand. This design helps the leather from stretching because the glove will mold to your movement and hand.
