A golf glove that fits well disappears on your hand — you feel the club, not the glove. Too big and it slips; too small and it wears through. Here’s how to get your size right.
How a golf glove should fit
Aim for a second-skin fit: snug across the palm, with the fingertips reaching the very end of each finger and no loose material bunching in the palm. New cabretta leather stretches slightly as it breaks in, so a glove that feels perfectly snug on day one will loosen a touch. If you’re between sizes, size down.
How to measure your hand
Wrap a tape measure around your hand at the widest point, just below the knuckles, excluding the thumb, and note the measurement. NGB Sports gloves come in S, M, ML, L and XL, in separate men’s and ladies’ fits — so choose your fit first, then your size. For the exact measurement-to-size match, check the size chart shown on any glove product page before you order.
Which hand does the glove go on?
You wear the glove on your lead hand — the top hand on the grip. Right-handed golfers wear it on the left; left-handed golfers on the right.
Junior and kids’ sizes
Children’s hands grow fast, so check the fit each season. Our kids’ golf gloves are cut for younger players who still want real grip and feel.
