Årets bästa golfhandskar 2026

Full premium cabretta leather, cut thin: the Players glove disappears on the hand in a way hybrid gloves can't, transmitting grip texture and club feedback that feel-oriented players genuinely use. In dry conditions it's the standard against which other gloves are measured.

Thin leather wears fast — this is physics, not a flaw — and rain or heavy sweat degrade grip quickly. It's a fair-weather glove for players who accept replacing it regularly as the cost of the feel.

The Pure Touch is FootJoy's answer to the question "what do tour players actually wear?" — exceptionally soft cabretta with a tailored fit that borders on bespoke. The feel advantage over standard gloves is real and immediately noticeable on partial wedge shots, where grip-pressure feedback matters most.

It wears even faster than the Titleist and costs more. This is a glove you buy in threes, keep dry, and consider part of the cost of caring about feel at this level.

Synthetic gloves used to be the budget compromise; the Weather Spann is where they became a performance choice. The engineered synthetic grips noticeably better than leather in rain and humidity, survives machine washing, and outlasts cabretta by a wide margin.

The feel is more muted than leather — less texture, less feedback — which is the honest trade. In northern European conditions, the right setup is a leather glove for dry days and a Weather Spann in the bag for everything else.
