nick gauts Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 While we wait for the gloves to come in ... Just curious as to what people's go to golf glove is as of right now , what do you like, don't like in a glove ? What have you tried in the past before landing where you are ? I've tried many different brands srixon,callaway,top flite, zero friction, fj and red rooster. Red rooster is my current go to and completely changed my mind on gloves for fit, comfort , feel, and durability. I'm excited to see how Clinch lines up with them ! I love supporting brands that focus on quality and not volume which I feel like the big brands have forgotten about . My old problems with gloves would be a palm blow out really fast, gloves not fitting right and being too long or wide because the sizes were so different . I would constantly be pulling the glove up before every shot and tightening the velcro to hope it stays on better. I'm excited for the Clinch for the feel and durability. We have been getting longer golf seasons where I'm from the last few years because snow hasn't been coming so I get to test this deeper into the season and do some cold weather tests too.

Fiveslow Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 I haven’t locked in any one particular brand. The majority of my gloves are FJ Staysof. Looking forward to testing Clinch’s offering! nick gauts 1 Quote Phantom 5.5 Stealth 9* w/ Ventus Black 7X Stealth 2 Plus 3W w/ Hzrdus Green TM Sim2 19* w/ Hzrdus RDX Black P770 Irons w/ KBS 120 tour S Vokey wedges (50*, 56*, 60*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiveslow Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Glove arrival this Monday 9/30. Praying for no delays because I have a round scheduled for Tuesday morning. I played at Fenway CC in Westchester this week. It would have been a perfect day to test the new glove. There was a 1% (one!) chance of rain. It rained on and off for an hour and a half.

gajrsports Posted Saturday at 09:17 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:17 PM So excited received my Clinch gloves. Packaging simple from USPS. Nice Clinch zip bag! Great surprise inside. I expected an all weather typical glove, you know bulky and overboard. Well, these are silky and a perfect fit!! Can't wait until tomorrow with my 12 noon tee time. Also an extra benefit they sent me 2! Fiveslow 1 Quote GTK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiveslow Posted Monday at 12:51 AM Share Posted Monday at 12:51 AM UNBOXING/FIRST IMPRESSIONS- My two gloves came packaged in a brown envelope with the “Clinch” logo on the back. Each glove comes in a neat re-usable, slider closing vinyl bag which could work as a valuables pouch in your bag. Clinch also tossed in a few tees and a sticker with the green and gray XL gloves. First impressions was that the material on these gloves looked thick and heavy, almost like an outdoor work glove. Well, upon taming it out of the bag and putting it on, I couldn’t have been more wrong. As light as any other premium glove I have ever worn and the material was similar to any other glove as well. I usually wear size XL golf gloves (mostly Footjoy and Callaway) and these fit as expected. It was overcast and damp today so I thought today would be a great day to start testing. I set up my Rapsodo MLM2 and went to work. After completing my first session (about 100 swings) I was impressed. The first 70 or so the glove was dry. The last few swings I had grabbed my wet golf towel to damping the glove. I had no issues maintaining my grip on my driver swinging full-boat and then some, with no effects on accuracy. I am looking forward to on course use, with my first round scheduled for Tuesday!

Fiveslow Posted Monday at 09:01 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:01 PM Tacked on another 105 swings today with the same glove. No visible wear. No issues!

gajrsports Posted Monday at 09:43 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:43 PM Played 18 yesterday in a nice 75 degree day. Did have to get used to the glove in warm up as it is so comfortable and smooth had to adjust my thought. Took a few holes and then just let it settle in as truly comfortable and was like not wearing a glove. Adjustment from cabretta but a nice change. Practice tomorrow! I did hit 30 6 foot putts with it on today and a great feel. Quote GTK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris119 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Unboxing, and first impressions Received the package on Monday, but because of storm damage and clean up, I did not have a chance to open the package until this morning. i was impressed with the zip lock type bags that they are packaged in. These are great for storing many things. Now to my first impressions of the glove. Appearance wise the color is good. Fit was perfect. They really felt good on my hand.. Very soft and supple for an all weather glove. Allows great feel of the grip. i was able to get out today and play a scramble with a bunch of friends. The grip on the club was good, and the gloves are not to heavy or thick. I felt I could tell where my shots left the club face better with these than I could with the previous glove I had been using. as you can tell from the photos there was a lot of moisture in the air and on the course. We started the first 4 holes with a heavy fog. The gloves never felt damp and the grip felt just as good in the moist air as it did when it dried out. I used the same glove for all 18 holes. Normally I would switch my gamer glovers about every 6 holes. i know this is early in the test but so far they performed good. nick gauts and Fiveslow 2 Quote Cobra LTDX 10.5driver Cobra LTDX 3 wood Cobra LTDx 5 wood Cobra Dark Speed 7 wood Cobra King Tour irons 5 thru. p UST Recoil 680 shafts Cobra Snakebite 48, 54, 60 Cobra Vintage Stingray 40 Snell Prime 3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiveslow Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I had a charity stroke play event this week at Sunningdale CC in Westchester. My plan was to hit the range and warm-up with the Clinch glove. Then maybe mix it in a few holes on the course. I ended up wearing it for the full round. It performed great for me and felt extremely comfortable. Unreal greens, great course, and great day!
