The Callaway Tour Authentic is a premium glove from one of golf’s biggest names. Does it perform as well as we would expect? Gillon Fabbroni put it to the test to find out in our Callaway Tour Authentic golf glove review…
A premium glove with premium performance.
PROS
CONS
The Callaway Tour Authentic is the premium offering in Callaway’s quite extensive range of Gloves. It is made from ultra-soft AAA cabretta leather infused with Griptac 2.0™. Callaway claim it gives the feel of a second skin with optimal grip performance. There are increased perforations for moisture reduction and increased breathability.
The cuff is short, which I prefer, and is what Callaway describe as an Opti Dry™ cuff with quick dry technology and moisture wicking properties. The closure flap has 3 strips of elastic which provide some stretch but also seem to increase durability. This is an area that I have ripped many times on gloves in the past and I think this design mitigates against this risk.
My usual size is a medium and this is what I tried. The fit seemed perfect. Quite tight initially, with a little give after light use. The leather is very soft but with enough substance that it feels quite durable. That was certainly my view after hitting a couple of hundred balls on the range. There was very little wear on the glove at all. It maintained a good size without any excessive stretching. I wet it to see how it would fare in rain and the grip was pretty good for a leather glove.
This is a premium glove and performs as such. It has a premium price of RRP of £24 which is similar to other big name premium gloves. I did find it at several retailers at about £20. Nevertheless it a great feeling glove and I do not think there are many out there that will out-perform it.
