    When I first heard of the Friction Glove, I was skeptical. I figured that there was no way you could get the same disc golf performance with a glove that you get with bare hands. I was pleasantly surprised! I could throw the exact same with or without the glove. It is comfortable to wear and gave me great grip. When it came to putting, I had no issues  wearing the glove. I use a sort of fan grip when I putt, and the disc came out clean. 

     

    A buddy of mine wears the Friction Glove in inclement weather and he said they last a full season. It seemed to me that they wouldn't have a long life because they are so thin, and he confirmed that. But, he swears by them. 

     

    My only issue with the glove is that it seems like there aren't a lot of opportunity to wear them. I will wear them when it's wet out, and maybe late spring/early fall weather. Won't need them during most of the summer, and I'll need heavier gloves for winter play (in Northern Utah). I still gave five stars because they perform well when circumstances are right to wear them. Plus, they aren't terribly expensive. Might as well have a glove in your bag for the times you need them.

     

    Great gloves to disc with. They help your confidence out on the course because you know you'll have a good grip on the disc if it's wet or snowy. Not the warmest gloves, as they're normally good for one round before your hand starts to freeze. That's not that big of an issue for me though because I'll bring my hand inside my jacket while walking to my disc so my hand is able to stay warmer for a bit longer. 

    My friend had bought a pair of Friction Gloves and gave me the left one since he had no use for it. I wore it today for the first time and enjoyed my experience.

    The glove itself is thin, and doesn't have those weird noticeable seam folds in the finger tips like many gloves have that I hate. I found it comfortable to wear while throwing and didn't feel like I was wearing a glove. The grip was great. They weren't tacky, but grippy. I was worried about these because I felt like they would be more like receiver gloves and have that weird tackiness that squeaks a bit when you rub your fingers together. I wouldn't find that useful for 1, and that squeak sends shivers down my spine. 

    Throwing I didn't feel much of a difference other than it kept my snowy discs controlled in my hand. I didn't feel like I lost much power at all, and I actually felt like it helped my flick grip immensely. I can assume these are going to be a godsend when it's raining out!

    Where they lose a star are twofold. 1. I hated putting with them. I felt like that extra grip made my putts stick to my hand a touch too much and I ended up losing a hair of power on my putts. I missed a lot of putts low with them on, which isn't where I normally miss. Once I took them off to putt I was right on target again. I would love to not have to ditch them once a hole to putt. 2. They are not particularly warm. Granted, it was -9 with the wind chill today in Massachusetts, but I don't think they provide much warmth in 30 degrees either. It was fine having my gloved hand in my pocket with hand warmers, but the gloves are very clearly designed for grip and function rather than warmth. I can see the design working still with additional depth to the material on the back of the hand. 

    Overall, I'd say they are worth a try for disc golfers who play in wet environments and want some additional grip and skin coverage against the elements.
