Have you ever heard of a "semi-secret" FootJoy
glove that some of the best players in the world
wear?
It’s
the FJ Pure Touch
, and it’s worn by thousands of
professional and amateur players around the
world.
While the glove retails for $29.99, a
clear $10 premium above Sta-Sof and other
category leaders, there is a reason why. Try
one on and you will know the feel
immediately. The only connection between
you and the ball is the club. And, the only
connection between you and the club is the
glove.
Although the Pure Touch glove is slightly more expensive than FootJoy's Sta-Sof, the incremental cost - about the price
you'd pay for a sleeve of Pro V1 balls - is well worth the upgrade in quality and durability. It is super soft, unlike
any others made. It lasts - the superior cut of
leather doesn’t wear as quickly. And, while
this glove doesn’t have to be used for your
range sessions, or for your rounds that count,
wouldn’t you want to be as best equipped to
compete?
The glove comes in both right and left hand
models, and with Cadets at every size
measure. Personally, I use my worn gloves
for my range work. Usually that takes a good
5 to 7 rounds before it is replaced with a new
one. While it is said to be “Limited”, I have
used this glove for 3 years running and have
had no difficulty finding it at any online
retailer. One place you probably won’t find it,
given the price point, is your club’s pro shop. I
can honestly say, try one on. But be warned,
you just may not want to take it off.
