Can a Golf Glove Really Improve Your Game? Our Test Results Say Yes

Independent test results show the EXO Golf Glove improves distance, accuracy, and consistency—proving a glove can be true performance equipment.

EXO Golf Glove Test Results: Backed by Data, Built for Performance

A performance study on the ability of a golf glove to improve distance, accuracy, and consistency.

Why Test a Golf Glove?

Many golfers think of gloves as simple accessories — tools for comfort. But at EXO, we wanted to ask a different question:

Can a golf glove actually enhance performance?

On February 18, 2025, we conducted a extensive test of the EXO Golf Glove featuring our patented Zyntech™ nanotechnology. The goal: determine whether a glove can contribute measurable gains in distance, accuracy, and swing consistency.

The test included 18 golfers, two formats, and a data-backed approach to separate fact from feel.

(Tests were conducted using a Trackman launch monitor and results were independently verified)

How the Test Worked

This wasn’t about perception — it was about performance. We designed the test to isolate real, quantifiable changes:

  • 18 golfers rotated between hitting balls with their own gloves and the EXO Glove in five-shot sequences
  • Control and experimental groups eliminated bias
  • Test 1: Iron shots (with hidden launch data)
  • Test 2: Driver shots (with visible launch data)
  • Metrics measured: carry distance, accuracy (standard deviation), swing consistency (face-to-path, smash factor)

To help account for placebo effects, the control group was told the glove was for injury relief. Only the experimental group knew about performance claims. Both groups showed similar improvements — reinforcing that the benefits were real, not psychological.

What We Found: Real Gains, Quantified

Iron Test Results

  • 65% of players gained carry distance
  • 82% gained total distance
  • 53% improved or maintained accuracy
  • 65% improved or maintained face-to-path control
  • 82% achieved equal or better smash factor

Driver Test Results

  • 67% gained driving distance
  • 61% improved accuracy
  • 56% improved face-to-path consistency
  • 56% maintained or improved smash factor

These gains occurred with first-time users, under neutral conditions — no warm-up period, no bias.

Performance Despite Limitations

The numbers are strong — even more so when you consider the constraints:

  • First-time use: Most players had never worn the glove before; adaptation improves performance further
  • Sizing: Only medium-large gloves were available
  • Prototype version: Since upgraded with refined tech placement
  • Indoor setting: Limited visual target feedback

We’re committed to building the most advanced golf glove on the market — one iteration at a time.

The Role of Glove Technology in Golf Performance

Golf gloves are usually judged by comfort or durability. But the EXO Glove is engineered as performance equipment — designed to influence how energy moves from your body into the club.

What Zyntech™ Nanotechnology Does:

  • Absorbs shock → Boosts power output
  • Reduces vibration → Elevates coordination
  • Improves airflow →Enhances muscle efficiency
  • Increases surface area → Optimizes energy transfer at impact

Why It Matters

By improving the connection between your hand and the club, the EXO Glove optimizes energy transfer and control giving you the potneital to hit it further and straighter for longer.

THE NEXT ITERATION

Thanks to user feedback and testing insights, the next generation EXO Glove will feature:

  • Optimized nanotechnology placement, particularly on the pinky and ring finger calluses
  • Refined palm technology size and position
  • Complete sizing range from Small to Extra-Large
  • Improved durability at stress points

We’re already building on the success of this test to launch a next-level product.

Conclusion: The Glove Reimagined

Our test proves that a golf glove can do more than just help with grip. It can contribute measurable gains in distance, accuracy, and consistency.

For decades, gloves have been treated as after thoughts — thin barriers between your hand and the club. But the EXO Glove shows what’s possible when we treat the glove like every other piece of serious golf equipment.

You might not need to change your swing. You just need a better connection.
