The JPX glove from Mizuno has a very striking design, inspired by the Japanese sports trade. It carries a very futuristic appearance, which should be taken as a good sign since it implies the use of advanced technology, and this is exactly what we should be looking out for when choosing golf equipment.
But appearances aren't always reliable so lets take a closer look at the technology involved to see if it really is worth trying. Well, the good news is this is a book that lives up to its cover.
The glove has been made from soft, synthetic leather that is also highly breathable. There is also a flexible mesh insert for extra ventilation and a soft inner touch that ensures the glove won't chafe. Slip it on and you will find its design offers maximum comfort as well as a natural fit.
This is aided by a velcro tab that can be adjusted for extra security, but the glove has also been cut into a curve pattern that makes sure it fits just right. A nice little additional feature is the wrist band made from neoprene which absorbs moisture and keeps your hands nice and dry.
It should be noted though that the fingers may be slightly too long for some, which can be irritating, although it does not prove to be much of a hindrance.
Of course, this is all useless if the glove doesn't provide any grip. Fortunately this glove has that covered, not just by the textured palm but also the thumb, both of which have been digitally embossed for a strong, reliable grip. This does not come at the expense of any feeling so you can really control the club when swinging.
The glove is also suitably durable. With such flexibility and comfort, it is a valuable accessory that proves especially useful for play during wet weather as any moisture is simply absorbed and will not hinder your game. It fits snugly and can be adjusted at the wrist to suit your needs without restricting movement, giving you the freedom you need to play effectively.
If you are in need of a glove, the Mizuno JPX is highly recommended. It ticks all the boxes, and will last many a round. At such a reasonable price as well, this is golfing technology at its finest.
