I went through two gloves myself. If was hot and humid and then the rain came. I also like the looks of the glove. I like the wick idea. Anything to help keep the sweat away from the palms.

I am one of those North Queenslanders that tested the Gloves. I have had one that I used for over 6 months.It now looks like something out of the ragbag, All torn & tatty but It still grips well. I used it twice a week , nearly every week during that time. I consider it to be one of the best Gloves I have used. & I might add in wet conditions , It seems to get better , the wetter it gets. Just Bought 2 more off Boz. They are that good.

In general, I'd say the glove was awesome. It didn't get wet at all today in quite humid weathers and they're quite comfy. They'll actually strech over ones wedding ring nicely if you want to wear it while playing. My only problem with them is that the fingers are so grippy that I find the space between my pinky and ring finger on my bottom hand gets chaffed up a bit when using an interlocking grip as it just grips that spot and doesn't let go. Still, awesome glove. Much better then the Callaway's I've got

Thats awesome. I probably go through 10 gloves in 6 months and I wear them until the palm and/or thumb are completely gone. I play 2-3 times a week, but I hit the range every day.

I use Cally gloves also, because I can get the 2 for $15. You can't beat them for the price and they're just as good as any other glove I have available to me. None of them can hold up to my sweaty palm though.

Hi Ad, I tend to do most of my designing around my own wants and needs
to start off with and then through the extended player testing I get
to here how those designs may play in regards to other players wants
and needs.

That being the case with the gloves I have had a couple of other interlock
grippers make mention of this sticky in an akward area issue so I have made
some extra gloves for my testing only at this stage with a new material and
glove makeup that might be a better package for you. Time will tell but at
this stage it is playing well, no extended player group testing till I know
where I am going to sell them.

Cheers, Wayne.

Boz, a ? about the sticky glove. Is it similar to the FJ Spyder glove? I just started playing one of those. So far.. its working well.

Boz can't wait to start rolling with these, and the glove sounds great, been 105 heat index and 10% humidity would love something that doesn't slip in the heat!

Thanks Boz,

I listened to your interview on the radio blog today during lunch......great history lesson on the modern day golfball. Did not know that Pro V1 stood for "Prototype Version 1"

Here's hoping the Vision sticks as well as that one!

I've already set it up with the driving range down the street, so that I can go before they open and hit the balls with driver and get measurements. Then I'm going to hit up the par 3 they have.

Good Question ;) I will attempt to find it & post up a link.
This is not the link I was looking for but may help.

It is also a link to the Vision website.

Hi Mike & JB, the concept is a little bit like the Spider but the materiaal approach
is different. There has been a few new synthetic materials used in Japan over the past
two year that I believe handle the heat and perspiration issues faced by many golfers.

The other factor is the pressure on many players hands by seams that seem to bite
and low grip levels that requires many players to grip the club tighter than what
I would describe as an optimum tension. This in turn leads to reduced hand speed (distance)
and tired hands (control) by the last 6 holes.

The design to date has been very popular in testing, so we will see how it goes.

Hi Foz, thanks for taking the time and I can only hope so.

Thanks Pom,

There are 5 or 6 versions that one of my Oz TP's built that you
will find on page 1 and 2.


Cheers, Boz.

barbajo  You'd think a fantasy team with Webb Simpson, Rory, Hunter, Graeme McDowell & Louis Ousthauizen would do some serious damage at the Player's. Well, they did, but not the kind of damage you want...
