A Winter Golf Gloves Review

FootJoy WinterSof Golf Gloves
Specs

Winter golf gloves are a necessity for golf enthusiasts who continue to play their favorite sport in cold weather. FootJoy WinterSof gloves are currently the best offering on the market in the category. FootJoy WinterSof gloves feature a water resistant Cabretta leather palm for maximum comfort and 3M's Thinsulate insulation, which ensures ultimate warmth during adverse playing conditions. The WinterSof's microfiber fleece material is extremely lightweight, reducing the gloves' impact on a player's game.

Perks

In cold weather conditions, many golfers can experience severe discomfort in their hands, generally resulting in a negative outcome during play. FootJoy WinterSof gloves provide tremendous warmth, allowing players in colder climates the opportunity to maintain their level of play despite the weather. Avid golfers can play longer into the season, often at discount rates due to unfavorable playing conditions, which translates to fewer golfers on the course.

Sacrifices

While FootJoy WinterSof gloves allow for excellent comfort and warmth, feel and responsiveness are often compromised. Extra weight can prove unnatural during the swing, resulting in costly errors and higher scores. In addition, FootJoy WinterSof gloves must be left on at all times or the player's hands will be exposed to cold air--and even the slightest exposure can produce unpleasant results.

Bottom Line

For golfers who want to play in cold weather, FootJoy WinterSof gloves are a must-have. They offer unmatched quality at a reasonable price of under $20, allowing users to enjoy their time on the golf course despite poor weather.

Golf Equipment Tip of the Day

Choose the Putter Designed for Your Golf Game
by Staff
If you've ever been humbled after having your stroke analyzed at one of those high-tech putting studios, you know why the adage "feel is not real" is, well, real. After all, when examined under a microscope, all the flaws of your stroke are magnified. Your path goes left, your clubface is open, you hit everything off the toe--the data doesn't lie and sometimes all that bad news is enough to make you want to impale your flat stick into the monitor. What's important to keep in mind, however, is that our strokes demand specific kinds of putters.
