The Golf Glove: Stuck in Time

‍

Golf has never stood still. We’ve seen clubs go from hickory to carbon fiber, balls evolve from leather pouches to multi-layered performance projectiles, and shafts tuned to match every swing type.

But through it all, the glove — the one thing that connects us to every shot — has barely changed.

‍

The first glove patents date back to the late 1800s. Sam Snead wore one in the 1940s. Palmer and Nicklaus made them popular. And today, most gloves still follow the same formula: thin leather, stitched panels, and just enough grip to get by.

We treat them as accessories. We use them until they’re brittle, lost their grip, or full of holes. Then we grab a new one — usually with little thought — and repeat the cycle.

Yet this overlooked gear is the one piece of equipment with direct influence over every swing.

Why the Golf Glove Deserves More Attention (and Performance)

Your Glove Might Be Holding You Back

We analyze every detail of our clubs. We debate driver lofts and shaft flex. We test balls looking for the perfect blend of spin and distance.

But our glove — the one piece of gear that connects us to every single shot? Most of us wear it far longer than we should.

It’s not just a matter of comfort. It’s a matter of performance.

Glove Wear = Decline in Performance

Leather gloves break down fast. They rip, harden, and lose tackiness. As the material wears the glove starts to move — slipping and twisting subtly during the swing. That loss of connection affects how the clubface meets the ball, especially on faster swings like drivers and long irons.

And yes, the data backs this up:

• A study in the Taylor & Francis in Research in Sports Medicine found that gloves improve grip stability in high-speed swings. Source
• MyGolfSpy testing showed that using a glove — especially a fresh one — can lead to more consistent strikes and longer shots. Source

Professional golfers know this. Most switch gloves after every round. Some even rotate gloves throughout a single round to keep grip levels optimal.

Most amateurs? We wear our gloves until the thumb tears or the palm looks like glossy paper.

You wouldn't play with a cracked shaft or a scuffed-up ball. So why trust your swing to a worn-out glove?

A Better Golf Glove Is Now in Your Reach

At EXO, we believed golfers deserved better.

Using the same advanced material science that has helped propel elite athletes to Olympic gold and world championship titles, we re-engineered the golf glove from the ground up — with science at its core.

The foundation is our patented Zyntech™ nanotechnology — a breakthrough designed to optimize how your hand connects to the club. Zyntech isn’t just about feel; it’s built to perform where it matters most:

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

What does this mean for you?

Put simply, the EXO Golf Glove optimizes energy transfer and control – so more of your swing speed goes into the ball, not lost in slip or twist - giving you the potential to hit it farther and straighter

Continuous tests reveal:

• 92% of players tested improved distance
• Up to: +15.2 yards (6 iron), +15.0 yards (driver)
• Average distance gained: +6.5 yards
• 60% improved accuracy, measured by dispersion deviation

All testing was independently conducted by the team at FlightScope, using their launch monitors.

‍

Built to Last

Beside performance enhancements properties Zyntech™ is engineered for extreme durability:

• 5x more durable than premium leather (Martindale durability test)
• Up to 22x more durable than the most expensive gloves we could find
• Performs in all weather, including when soaked in a bucket of water

‍

How Often Should You Replace Your Golf Glove?

Tour pros might change gloves every few holes to maintain optimal grip. Unfortunately most of us amateur golfers don't have that luxury so we replace our glove when the leather becomes hard, the palm smooths out, or you start seeing visible holes. If your glove has holes, cracks, or is smoother than a wet bar of soap — that's usually when you make the grudge pruchase.

With EXO, you won’t need to change gloves nearly as often. Thanks to Zyntech™'s extreme durability and all-weather performance, your grip stays consistent for much longer — giving you peace of mind that your connection to the club is still doing its job.

And then there’s the real purpose of our patented, military-grade nanotech: optimizing energy transfer and control — unlocking your potential to hit it further and straighter, for longer.

‍

Rethinking the Golf Glove Isn’t Radical — It’s Long Overdue

The glove is not an accessory. It’s equipment — just as essential as your driver or your ball.

Most golfers already wear one. But until now, we have paid little attention to its ability in unlocking better, more consistent performance.

We’ve seen what happens when innovation, testing, and real-world data are applied to every other piece of gear in your bag: longer drives, tighter dispersion, and a more confident swing.

It’s time we gave the glove that same attention.

If you’ve ever struggled with inconsistency, grip pressure, or confidence over the ball — it might not be your swing. It might be your glove.

Now, there’s finally a better option — The EXO Golf Glove: designed with purpose, backed by science, and tested to deliver.

Because better golf isn’t just in your hands — it starts with what’s on them.
