All golf clubs, including putters, must be at least 18 inches long. While woods and irons are also limited to 48 inches in length, putters have no such restrictions. If the putter’s shaft isn’t straight, the measurement is made using a “straight line extension” of the shaft, according to Section 1c of Appendix II.

An estimated 20 percent of Pro’s on the major Tours use reminder (ribbed) grips but a quick straw poll of club golfers revealed very few knew what they were or what the difference was between round and reminder grips.

A vital component of any golfer’s pre-shot routine is gripping the club properly before every shot. The USGA and R&A have strict rules about reminder ridges in grip, but while the Calibrate ridge is easy to feel when you hold a club, it is legal for play.

Golf Club Turns in Hand at Impact A grip that is too tight or too loose, can cause the golf club to turn. If you’re experiencing the club turning during a backswing resulting in hooks, then you might replay the shot in slow motion to verify where the issue lies.

After a game, wash the dirt and grit from your glove on a delicate cycle or by hand. Never dry your glove with a drying machine. Air dry only. Use leather conditioner after drying to maintain your glove’s flexibility.

Golfers take off their glove when they are putting because they want to have a better feel. The golf glove is used to help give players a better grip and more control when they are swinging a club at a fast speed.

When it makes sense to wear two golf gloves If it’s cold or rainy, it can make logical sense to play with two golf gloves. The last thing you want is your golf club slipping out of your hand on a follow-through during a rain game. And a round in New England at the end of March can get pretty cold.

Typically a golf glove will last between 6 and 10 rounds. There are many factors that influence the life of the glove such as: quality of the glove, conditions that you play in and the grip that the golfer uses.

Most golfers don’t wear two gloves because it loosens the grip resulting in more inconsistent golf shots. Golfers also prefer to have a hand without a golf glove because it helps improve their feel of the swing which helps with timing and proper contact.

The golf glove is supposed to be worn on the “opposite” hand of your dominant hand because of hand placement on the club. Since the “top” hand on a golf club is the lead hand, its grip is crucial for swinging. This is why if you’re right-handed, you wear the glove on your left hand, and vice versa.

We wear one glove on our lead hand, so left hand for a right-handed player and vice versa, because that hand has the most effect on the swing and club. Golfers play in various different temperatures and conditions, so a glove really comes in handy when our hands get sweaty or it begins to rain.
