Anyone ever try driving with a ball golf glove on?

I've seen a few people in videos that use a glove when driving. I can't remember his name but there's a Oregon player who does that I've seen in a Rose City Open video. I'm sort of intrigued by the idea but don't really feel like spending the money if most people think it's pointless. I don't beleive I have a grip problem but maybe it could help ?

I've wondered whether using a glove might save wear and tear on my index finger. Either a golf glove or batting glove...

[Chad_from_BC]

Heh yeah. I've definately got a noticable ridge on my finger where the disc last makes contact snapping it out. I've also got to tape up my lower index finger if I throw a lot of flicks cause it'll get really sore.

I believe Jeremy Volker plays with the golf glove. I think he is the only one i've seen.

I can't imagine it would be helpful. For me, the "feel" of the disc is very important. And I have enough grip lock adventures as it is, thank you very much.

Some top pros like Nate Doss and Barry Schultz tape their fingers for similar reasons, I believe. It reduces wear on your fingers, and maybe improves grip a little.

hmm... i've wanted something for wintertime golf cause my little fingies get cold... counterintuitive to me that it would help with grip as opposed to interfering... but i may just have to give it a try... plus, a glove or tape would probably make me look cooler...

peace,

Jeremy Voelker,Mike Suhoki,Dana Lawton all use a glove when Driving.

Maybe I'll try to find them on facebook or something and ask them what made them try it and why they close to keep it. Thanks!

There's a guy we play with here (Karl) who picked up a pair of WR gloves last winter. The grip was awesome but of course he had to adjust his drive when he had it on...

DC Dan wears a glove on his throwing hand. I wonder what kind it is.

[Chad_from_BC]

Haha. Didn't realize I'd typed that (her not him). You ever type one thing but think another? The other day on another forum i said 'yes I can take the garbage out' in reply to a thread cause I said that to my wife while typing.
