"The next thing I'd like to talk about is the golf glove. One thing that I get so many questions asked is, you have your regular glove and then a cadet glove. Basically, a cadet glove is a little bit wider in the middle of your hand. I wear a cadet glove because I have a fairly wide hand and shorter fingers so, and you'll see in all these gloves, if you open them up, you'll see right here, that's a cadet medium large. That's basically what that C means is cadet. It's good to know because, as you can see, as I try this glove on, that width is perfect for me and, as you can see, the length in all the fingers is really important. When you go to grip the club, you don't want your hand to slide around inside the glove. If your glove is too big, you're going to have this movement in your hand and that's the last thing you want to do, when we're talking about missing shots by the smallest of margins. When that glove starts to slide in your hand or that club starts to slide in your hand, you're going to be changing that lie angle, that club face angle, just a little bit and you're shanking one off to the right, you're pulling one off to the left and that small little difference could be the reason behind those shots. One simple solution to that, is making sure you have the proper equipment and part of that, is having the proper size glove."
