Nobody pays attention to golf gloves like FootJoy, so it’s no wonder that the company is the industry’s undisputed leader in the golf glove market place.
 
In its 2008-09 line, FootJoy is introducing what it calls a new “Tour Styling’’ to its StaSof glove line. The glove (suggested retail price $23) is made from Cabretta leather and features FootJoy’s Angled ComforTab closure and PowerNet mesh inserts.
 
The company’s new Tour Styling also is evident on the SciFlex line that features the Angled ComforTab closure and PowerNet mesh along the back panel and across the knuckles. The SciFlex (SRP $18) also features FootJoy’s MicroVent™ Moisture Control Leather that promotes a cooler, drier more comfortable glove.
 
The SofJoy line (SRP $16), according to FootJoy, has a new contoured fit featuring FiberSof microfiber and an angled tab closure provides a comfortable, consistent fit. The Soft Cabretta Leather Palm, FootJoy says, ensures a soft feel, plus perspiration resistance and durable, comfortable grip, and the PowerNet mesh across the knuckles, along the back and down the fingers, provides golfers increased comfort and improved breathability.
 
FootJoy says its WeatherSof (SRP $12) line features Cabretta leather along the thumb and extended palm patch and FiberSof microfiber for a softer feel and more consistent fit.
