The Facts
The TaylorMade Burner glove is one of six gloves offered from TaylorMade. It is the only Burner golf, though, which also has drivers, irons, balls and other accessories.
Function
This burner glove is used during golf by a player to reduce the friction on the left or right hand and to help with better club control. Generally, gloves--especially this one--help keep the player's hand more dry, which helps prevent slippage due to sweat.
Features
The glove uses cabretta leather in the palm and thumb to enhance comfort and has a internal moisture-wicking wristband that keeps the hand and upper wrist dry and comfortable.
Identification
The Burner glove has the traditional Burner logo and comes in white and black or white and red and black. It has a smooth, durable synthetic leather construction that incorporates antimicrobial properties. It has microfiber technology that keeps the glove durable.
Size
The Burner glove is available in these sizes: cadet (small, medium, medium large, large, X-large) and regular (small, medium, medium large, large, X-large, XX-large).
Considerations
The main limitation with the Burner glove is breathability. It doesn't let in air as well as other gloves due to the type of leather it uses and the use of less vents on the fingers. It uses more cabretta leather than synthetic fabric, which can make the hand a bit hotter than with other gloves.
Comparisons
The Burner glove is probably not even the best glove that TaylorMade has to offer. There is the TaylorMade R9 Tour Glove as well as the TaylorMade Tour Preferred Glove, both of which are more expensive, but are thinner for easier flexibly, control and heightened sensitivity. The closest gloves in comparison to the TaylorMade in features are the Callaway Men's Tour Series golf gloves. The best way to determine which glove is right for you is to try on several and see which one provides the best fit and is the most comfortable.
