Best Junior Golf Gloves

Junior hands are proportionally wider at the palm than adult hands - here's why glove fit matters more than you'd think.

A junior glove built on scaled-down adult proportions often leaves empty space at the fingertips even when the palm fits well, since kids' hands are proportionally wider at the palm relative to finger length. Measure around the palm (excluding the thumb) at its widest point, and don't be tempted to size up for longevity - a glove that's too big loses the grip feedback a young player needs most.
