GolfSpy Tim Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Asher Golf Gloves "You Will Look Better" Be sure to read through as Asher is offering: 1 free glove of your choice to one lucky reader 1 free hat of your choice to two lucky readers (Try your luck and read the details at the end of this review) And for those of you who don't believe in luck, Asher was so kind as to provide MGS readers a 20% off discount code good for the month of October: MGSROCKS Website Facebook Twitter Walking around the 2012 Orlando PGA Show I couldn't help but notice Asher Golf's gloves - they are umm... LOUD. In case you didn't know, I'm drawn to loud like a hooker to blow. But it took me more than half the year to get up the nerve to approach loud gloves. Why? Because I didn't believe loud gloves could be worth wearing - they had to be be lesser made. So, I'm here to tell you, as a hooker trying to avoid her dealer, I finally gave in and contacted Asher to get some gloves in. Talk about loud - I got a NEON GREEN glove!!! Oh, and one that is black with white skeleton bones. If you ask Asher why you should buy their gloves, they've got a well put together answer: Why Buy Asher? Freakin' Awesome Stuff 100% Satisfaction Guarantee You Will Look Better You Might Even Golf Better You will Avoid the Hall of Shame It's hard to argue with that list, but I still wanted to try before you buy to make sure you know what to expect from Asher. First - an obnoxiously loud neon green glove does not garner nearly as many comments as a black and white skeleton glove. The skeleton glove hands down has received more comments on the first tee than any other product I've ever tried (though my Neon Pink shirt for Alial Fital still wins for middle of the course comments from marshalls and randoms) I was sad the day I got home and realized I'd lost my neon green asher on the course :-( - but there was an upside - I now had a reason to try the glove I'd been avoiding - their $13 Cooltech Birdie glove had been at the end of my list - it's not leather, but rather a mesh with leather in the palm, thumb, pinky and ring fingers. Being a sweaty individual (it's bad - one might suggest like a hooker in church) I am prone to need to switch between 2 to 3 gloves during a round to avoid the wet glove syndrome. NOT the case with the Cooltech Birdie glove - I have discovered a glove that devours the heat and allows my hand to breath. On their site Asher claims of the Cooltech "Best Feeling Glove You Will Ever Wear" - I know we all "feel" differently, but I will admit, this is one of the best feeling gloves I've ever put on my hand. Unlike full leather gloves, I never have issues through the round as my hand gets "moist" - the glove never comes out of my bag crusty for the next round - it's just plain comfy and it works. Asher also sent me out a full leather "tour caliber" glove to try. It's still on my bag today, but it plays backup to the Cooltech - which means it hasn't seen any use in several weeks now because of my new love. I don't know that they've released their tour glove on the site yet, but when they do, I'm pretty sure this will keep up with any glove from a major OEM that you've tried. My vote - go loud - grab a skeleton glove (oh, Asher calls it the Cooltech Deathgrip) - this glove gives you the same feel and function as the Cooltech Birdie - and then provides you screaming loud style that your playing partners will definitely be distracted by. I give TWO THUMBS UP to Asher for their gloves. Loud and functional - you won't be let down. Now about those giveaways: We will have a total of three different winners - 1 glove, 2 hats of your choice off of Asher's site. To win, leave your comment with your first choice for your favorite Asher Glove AND your favorite Asher hat - you MUST choose one of each for your entry to count. Click here to review your favorites on Asher's website and then leave your comment below. Edit - Winner will be selected on Tuesday, October 9 at 12 p.m. pst.

Ice Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I've always had a freaking obsession with staring at their gloves. They're so awesome! Sadly I've never gotten around to ordering one. That needs to change. My favorite glove is the Death Grip. My favorite hat is the MLB style flatbill. I hate pinstripes with a passion.

RookieBlue7 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Funny, I was going to write a review on these soon, as I bought 4 of the original cabretta Birdies when they were having the HUGE 4 for 1 sale a while back. Been using them for 4-6 months now, in a 2 glove rotation, and love the gloves. They hold up well and look virtually like the day I pulled them out of the package. And at $22.90 for 4 gloves including shipping, I absolutely had to try them. Shame that's over, as I'd have ordered about a dozen more. Love the gloves.

Debating between getting one to test or save on some shipping and just order a few right away. I wear a large in most gloves (R11, Titleist, Nike) so I took a gamble when they were having that sale and bought all 4 in large. They fit, well, like a glove, lol. They fit exactly the same as the other large gloves I'd tried. There are a small few gloves I've tried that I end up having to buy a Cadet Large in, but the Asher Gloves fit like the above ones do, as far as size is concerned. They're well made too. I couldn't use the size chart, as my laptop screen is a 15.4 inch screen and it doesn't fit on the iPad screen either, LOL, so I just went based off of the gloves I was wearing. We don't have a desktop (well, I do, but it's in the garage and isn't connected to the internet, I keep club build information and music on it for when I'm out in my workshop).

Super Tuna Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Giving a serious eyeball to the deathgrip in white. Tim: Have you had a chance to use them when it's wet or humid out? Any spots that weat easier then others? I find that some grips are fantastic in standard summer weather but not so good when it's foggy out or the like. Equally I seem to run into issues where certain brands wear out much faster then others where the fingers meet for an interlocking grip for example.

GolfSpy Tim Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Giving a serious eyeball to the deathgrip in white. Tim: Have you had a chance to use them when it's wet or humid out? Any spots that weat easier then others? I'm a big fan of the deathgrip - it's a "Cooltech" which means that it does extremely well in humid/foggy weather. I live on the coast and while we're not extremely humid here, the bit we do have, mixed with my ability to sweat means that the "cooltech" shines through bigtime here - I think you'll fall in love with the deathgrip, and if you don't and you get an ML - send it to me and it'll be used until it wears out ;-) I didn't find any spots wore more than others - the cooltech gloves only have leather in the areas where you should be truly making any major contact with the club, but when interlocking fingers, there's no leather there - just the cooltech stuff - that said, they haven't worn out abnormally for me yet and I've played probably 10+ rounds so far with the cooltech, plus range time and I foresee them easily going another 20 rounds or more. Their full leather gloves seem to do what all other leather gloves do when it gets damp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aotearoa_Brad Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Hi guys, Well I was the lucky winner of the Asher glove, and I have to say that I've been pretty impressed with this new piece of kit. I went for the Black Asher Cooltech Deathgrip. I thought I'd give you a few initial thoughts, but first - some pics: My impressions: Fit - is excellent. Sizing is on par with other gloves I've worn. I'm always a bit dubious about purchasing clothing/gloves online because I'm not what you'd call a regular fit/shape. The Asher website actually has a printable sizing chart that you just put your hand on to work out your size. I utilised this and the sizing was right on (Cadet fit like it should fit my fat hands). Good work Asher - simple but very effective. Comfort Level - Honestly, I was blown away. To be fair I don't usually play expensive gloves so I can't compare against top of the line gloves, but I couldn't be happier. No exaggeration, I actually checked once to see that I had my glove on. I have only played a couple of rounds with this so far, but its summer here now and I been able to wear this right through the round no problems (usually I would switch out after nine). Durability - Still too soon to really tell, but you'll see in the last photo the remnants of a skull on the palm pad... It didn't last the first range session. In my opinion it shouldn't be there anyway. First round the little dome ball marker popped off somewhere on the course as well. I don't use the ones on my gloves so its not a biggie, but IMO this shouldn't really happen. I guess I'm a little sceptical re durability after that, but overall the attention to detail is really good. Not a stitch out of place. Looks - This is a really awesome looking glove, and I can't fault it. Had a couple of leary comments from some of the old-timers but I'm pretty sure that they were just jealous Would I buy these? Certainly at this stage I would. Durability is still up in the air a bit, but certainly on comfort alone I would definitely consider it and I'll be keeping a look out for the seemingly regular specials that they have. I hope this was useful, and I want to thank MGS and Asher again for hooking me up with the swag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
