Footjoy StaSof Gloves
Andrew Penner

Look in the bag of the average golfer and you’re sure to find the wretched remains of golf gloves gone bad. Gnarled, twisted, ketchup-stained fingers and rock-hard palms that have cleaved, clawed, and clutched a thousand grips too many. While Footjoy’s reengineered StaSof glove won’t take you through eternity, it’s certainly a long-lasting piece of craftsmanship you’re sure to enjoy.

Footjoy’s “reborn” StaSof glove is the number one Cabretta leather golf glove in the world. A number of tour players - Chad Campbell, Jonathan Kaye, Scott Hoch, and Tim Herron, just to name a few – are wearing it. No surprise, then, that this finely sewn mitt is full of quality features that enhance its durability and comfort. First and foremost, the new and improved quality of the leather (Taction Advanced Performance Leather tanned by the experts at Pittards of England) is so smooth, so comfortable, so perfectly tacky you’ll want to keep this glove on at the 19th hole to grip your pint. Unquestionably, it’s the quality of the leather that makes this glove better than the rest.

Additionally, features such as the Coolmax lycra knuckle insert and the angled Comfortab closure have certainly helped the cause (and boosted the lofty world-wide sales of this great mitt).

After playing five rounds with the new StaSof glove I noticed that it was showing some wear. However, the glove remained very usable for another four rounds or so. Not bad, really. And the best part? The exceptional moisture-repelling nature of the leather made my beer drinking a dry, super-comfortable, perfectly-poured (down the hatch) experience. Glove retails for $15.95. www.footjoy.com.
