As a golfer with only four years of experience, I'm constantly looking for ways to improve my game and shave strokes off my 16 handicap. Playing 3-4 times a week has taught me that the right gear can make all the difference. Recently, I've been switched to Red Rooster Golf Gloves from Contour FLX, which fit fairly similar.
Red Rooster Golf Gloves: Convenience and Quality
Red Rooster Golf Gloves have quickly become my favorite. The feel and durability are top-notch, but what really sets them apart is their subscription model. Knowing that a new glove will arrive at my doorstep every month means I never have to make a last-minute trip to the pro shop. Plus, if I don’t need a new glove that month, skipping a month is super easy and the customer service was really quick. I accidentally had a Small instead of ML on my subscription due to changing styles and they fixed it really quickly and didn't get a useless size.
Here’s how I manage my gloves: new ones are for play, and once they start to lose their performance, they get demoted to practice gloves. Also, I always have two fresh gloves ready in case of rain or unexpected rips.
I also noticed that after switching my grips from GP Zgrips to GP Zgrips Cord, I go through gloves a bit faster. That’s actually how I discovered Red Rooster, thanks to a recommendation from a golfing buddy. Their basic glove case is a nice bonus, keeping my gloves organized and in good condition. Which leads me to another general question; does the glove grip combination have a significant impact 1 on play and two on wear? (still a newbie).
FJ Contour FLX: A Reliable Alternative
Contour FLX gloves are another great option. They’re made from high-quality materials and offer a comfortable, snug fit. The grip is reliable, which is crucial for maintaining control during swings. However, they don't offer the subscription convenience that Red Rooster does, so I still find myself running to the pro shop when I need a new glove.
Which One is Better?
Both Red Rooster and Contour FLX provide quality gloves, but they cater to different needs. If you value convenience and want a reliable rotation system, Red Rooster is a game-changer. The subscription service is especially beneficial for avid golfers. On the other hand, if you prefer buying gloves as needed and prioritize fit and comfort, Contour FLX is a solid choice as you get to try on the gloves before you buy.
If you’re interested in trying out Red Rooster gloves, let me know – I’d be happy to share a referral code. I found it’s worth experimenting to see what works . Here’s to lowering that handicap and enjoying every round of golf!
