I was lucky enough to have been the very last person on my home course for the last round of the season. That day after work I almost didn't go because in was super blustery, rainy and cold. It was about 5C out or 41F. Truth be told, I was thinking my hands were going to be quite cold. Especially after the surgery I had on my wrist. These things kept my hands really warm and the grip was not affected in any way.

Is there blue and orange an easy ball to find? Especially with the leaves falling?

I'm sure theres going to be some hardcore collectors grabbing these things up. Id never be able to afford one personally but they are super nice!!

Placeholder Hello fellow spies. I am super excited to have been chosen to be a part of this amazing opportunity and thank you to the guys at Red Rooster. This is my second time doing a review with this amazing group of golfing enthusiasts here at MGS. North Bay, Ontario (400ish km north of Toronto) is home to my wife and I. I'm originally from Niagara Falls where my golf journey started when I was about 12 as a junior golfer and played throughout my 20's. Both parents are golfers so it was inevitable I'd follow that trend. Now 51 years old, I currently play off a 9 handicap after a few years off from the game. I play a little competitive golf in some tournaments but for the most part, I like having a nice time on the course. Nothing super competitive. I have been a long time user of Foot Joy RainGrip and Srixon rain gloves, so I'll be playing the Red Rooster ones against the ones I currently play to see how they stack up. I also will be testing them at the house as I have a large property that I hit ball on for practice. In addition to that, I'll be making the trek home to play some golf as its warmer. The timing of this test is pretty spot on for me, as the fall in northern Ontario has a tendency to be rather wet and dreary. As I write this intro, I have received word my gloves have arrived at the house so I will be on the course this afternoon after work. It's even rainy, so it will be a good day to put these things through their paces. By word of mouth, I have heard nothing but good things about the quality and fit of these gloves, so I'd expect the same for myself when I get them out on the course. UPDATE......hit some balls here at the house today. It was a little wet as its been raining the last few days. Grip issues were none existent and these gloves kept my hands nice and warm. I had a nice grind session and these gloves did the job they were supposed to. First Impressions (10 out of 10) Upon receiving these, you know some time has been put into the care of getting these to you in a safe manner. You even feel like you're receiving something special when they arrive at the mailbox. Inside you will find a nice card that tells you about the Red Rooster crew and the impact they'd like to make on the golf industry. A nice touch was a personalized message for me from Glen. That's a company looking to make an impression and take minute to make you feel good about their product. Aesthetics (10 out of 10) These gloves feel premium and they fit the part as well.. If I were going to compare these to something I use, I'd say they look and feel like my Foot Joy rain gloves. They are really grippy, so you know if it rains, you're playing through, not headed back in to the car and heading home. Of course, the big difference is that you get 2 gloves, not just one. I am a feel and visual player and that rooster on the glove is a nice visual for your hand position if you're working on something swing wise for your hand position. Looking at these compared to my Srixon glove, they are very comparable in look and craftsmanship. Stitching was clean and tidy. The roosters on the palm were never out of place or sync in the fabric and everything was aligned as it should. Kudos to the quality control of these gloves. The Fit and Feel (18 out of 20) The glove itself is not bulky at all like some others I have used in the past. I changed to the Foot Joy and Srixon glove because they are not bulky like others I have used in the past. The material does not feel cheap or like its going to fall apart after a couple uses. On my trip, I hit a chunky 4-iron and the club spun a little in my hand. I was fully expecting some of the grip coating to flake off. That did not happen. Putting the gloves on and taking them off was very easy when they were dry. When wet, it took a bit to get them started to take off but were fairly easy to take off after that. This is where I took the 2 points away. In the gloves I wear regularly, I wear a M/L. These fit exactly the same as a Foot Joy rain glove. The fingers are not too tight or loose. hand material and fit were not bulky at all and very comfortable. For someone like me, who has nerve issues when it's cold and damp, these kept my hands warm and dry. Definitely a plus for sure. On The Course (20 out of 20) I'd like give an extra point and I'll explain why. Here's some context for how I put these gloves through their paces. On the course, There was a day where it poured rain, and if I were allowed on the course they'd be playable to keep your clubs in your hand. The days that I did play, I ended up playing on a sunny dry day. These gloves were just fine in dry weather as well as wet. Gripping the club, left absolutely no worry of a club slipping out of your hand into the pond 30 yards in front of you on a tee shot with driver in hand. In addition to that, the water that did hit the gloves would dry up in no time. There was no flaking of the grip material even 5 rounds in. I was fully expecting that because that has happened in the past. Where I found them the most useful on the course was off the tee and long irons. Generally, as a rule, I don't wear a glove from 150 yards in. For the betterment of my game in wet conditions, I tried the gloves on and I felt no difference in feel whatsoever. In fact, moving forward, I will wear both in wet conditions for those 150 yard shots in from now on. The extra point I'd like to give is the fact they keep your hands warm. The Good, the bad, the In-between (18 out of 20) I did a little experiment that is a little extreme for these gloves, but it was worth doing it. We'd never see this much water put on them but it shows how well these gloves perform when soaking wet.....and how well they wick the water away from the surface of the glove itself and provide with the grip you'd expect. It doesn't matter how wet it would get on the course, these gloves will take you through your day and keep the clubs in your hand. I have nothing bad to say about these gloves. however I do have something that's a little in between. I wish they weren't just black. Truth be told, when the sun does come out may be between rain showers or you don't want to change a glove out because the course is very wet, they can get very warm on your hands. Personally, I don't have a sweaty palms issue, but I could see if someone did, there could be a moisture inside the gloves perhaps. Purely speculation but maybe a consideration in future. Play it or Trade it? (20 out of 20) I'm playing them all day long every time it rains!!!! After having done this test, I'm going to give serious consideration to trying their dry day gloves and subscription services. You can't beat the price when you look at the cost of a high end OEM glove. These will be in my golf bag for the foreseeable future. Sadly, golf season in Northern Ontario has come to an end, but if I can get down south, they will be in play for sure. From my experience, any golfer from the most serious to a beginning golfer to a pro could wear these gloves and be totally ok with their game being in good hands. Pardon the pun. Conclusion For anyone looking for a wet season glove or a glove to wear in a rain shower on the course, these should be given serious consideration by anyone looking for a rain glove. They are priced competitively compared to the big OEM gloves. They do no make your hands feel wet at all. Great grip, nice feeling material, and warm on a cool damp day. PLAY ON!! Final Score (96 out of 100) UPDATE - It turns out these gloves are great for winter golf when there's a dusting of snow. I was out hitting some balls in the back yard and not only did they work well with getting wet, but they also kept my hands super warm. I just extended my future golf season by a month or so if this remains true.

Congrats to all. Be interesting to see this testing opportunity.

Hi everyone. I just wanted to say hello again as I've been AWOL from the forum for a little while. This is normally a place for me to stop and just read and interact with you all. A few things have been going on in my life that have prevented me from spending some time here. First off.....I am fine. Never been happier to honest. I suffer from PTSD as a result of childhood trauma. My emotions have in the last few months gotten the better of me on occasion and I decided to have a look at things from a different lens. This was exasperated by a few things. Mainly losing my job because of a bad boss and subsequently getting it back 4 weeks later as a result of a wrongful dismissal, caused me to spiral. That said, golf was the last thing I needed to be doing. Some time away and time to reflect on the bigger things in life and honestly caring less about what I can't control. I am in a much better place now and am now ready to give back to this community of amazing people. I've been on the course a couple times now and it was like I never lost a step. Shot and 81, 80 on consecutive days. Par was 72. That's my little story. I know you probably didn't even notice I was gone, but wanted to stress the importance of mental health. IT IS EVERYTHING!!! I can't stress that enough. Yes.....even if you're a guy. Thanks for letting me be a part of your community!!! Jeremy

14 bucks for a large bucket. They are absolute crap balls. Some are split. There's only one range here where I live so it's all I have. When I go home to Niagara, there's a place that has titleist practice balls. They almost feel like tour softs. 10 bucks for an extra large.

Cant wait to see the tester reviews on this one. I'm possibly in the market for a new putter since my 3-ball face fell out. Zebra was very kind to get us Spier's in on this. Thank you Zebra

Best of luck to the testers. Be curious to see how functional these are. Considering a new cart next year.

I personally use the Srixon Z-star. In Canada, Pro-V's, TP5's and Chrome Soft are up to 74.99 canadian per dozen. If you hold out on a previous year sale, you can get Srixons for around 36 a dozen. Can't beat the performance

Currently watching Mortal Instruments with my wife and by myself I'm watching The Last Dance

Congrats to all testers. This will be an interesting test. May be interesting if anyone is going to test them against their gamer or something a little more expensive.

Congrats to you all. I can't wait to hear what you impressions and thoughts are on these amazing clubs. I think you are all going to be putting them in the bag.

It’s official. Courses open in Northern Ontario around me. Fingers crossed I get a round in!! Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

I love playing Irons only!!

love the cap on the little guy. Play well. Finally warming up here in Northern Ontario. Too much rain for the courses just yet so a trip to southern Ontario to see the folks may be in order!!

@funkyjudge Im so glad you included the build list for your clubs. That is such a nice touch to start this test!!

Ive always been fan of Rick Shiels and Peter Finch. Good Good is an everyday watch. Mark Crossfield is definitely the gold standard.

I use the Ping Hoofer Lite.......I think. It was a gift but it is so easy to carry around and hold a tonne of stuff too.

Congrats to you all. Can’t wait to read the reviews. They are gloves I have considered but never purchased. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

I am big huge kid when it comes to the holidays. I do admittedly love christmas music. Im also a radio listener so it's always on.

As a Shot Scope user and having been lucky enough to be chosen as a tester for Shot Scope here at MGS. I can say with certainty, I love it. The interface is really nicely setup for either use on a computer or your phone. The ability to use the watch without any thought of what's ahead (water, bunker, etc.) is really settling. Golf is hard enough sometimes. The GPS is really very good for shot dispersion and shot location. I've seen the ARCCOS stuff and yes the analytics are a little better but for the initial cost of a watch or new rangefinder that tracks your golf, it just seems so much better. And no monthly or yearly fees to use Shot Scope.

Played possibly my last round last night. Supposed to be in the mid-teens for the next couple weeks but everybody closed up shop. It's been a grinder type of year. A couple of injuries set me back almost a month but I played quite a bit. Broke 80 for the first time in my life straight up par. no handicap taken into account. Looking forward to working on my game this winter and add some new clubs for next year!!

I totally agree. As long as we all work together and support the bigger picture, we'll be fine!!

Ive never purchased TM irons at all. I played with a friend the other day that has the new P-790's and they were so nice to hit. That said, I keep seeing a set of P-760's on the Global Golf Canada website and keep saying to myself if I could afford them, I'd definitely play them. They are just so pricey.
