A curious baby friend asked:
Why do you wear gloves with one hand when playing golf? Worn both hands is more stable?
Here is the answer ( answered by golf referee Jim Qi )
In fact, only men wear gloves on one hand, while women wear gloves on both hands.
The purpose of wearing gloves is to increase the friction between the hands and the grips to prevent the hands from sweating during the playing ball and the club lose their hands when hitting the ball.
In addition, can prevent the hand from directly contacting the handle with the handle and the calluses or breaking the skin . Especially for beginners, the ball plays is not fixed. When the ball comes into contact with the club face, if it is not hitting the sweet spot (note: the center of gravity of the club, hitting the ball here can fly straight and far), the reaction force is very large.
Return to the problem of wearing gloves with one hand or both hands. Since the strength of the left hand is mainly used when holding the rod, the right hand is only used as an auxiliary, while the strength of the man with one hand can already control the club, while women may need two hands, so only women's gloves are both hands.
If you watch a golf game, unless it is raining, hot, putting, etc., you usually don’t see professional golfers wearing gloves.
Three indicators for buying gloves
When buying golf gloves, you mainly look at the following three indicators:
1.Hand
When purchasing, try each size first, from M to XL to see which size of your hand is suitable for.
2. Feeling/comfortness
Then select 5 favorites based on their appearance and test the comfort level respectively.
3. Grain
After wearing gloves, try swinging with a number one wood to choose the one with the strongest grip.
The ideal glove should look like a second layer of skin. This is not about loose skin, but smooth and wrinkle-free skin.
