September 1, 2008 - Offhand Protection

Since I don’t golf much, when I do go out to play my hands have not calloused where the club lays and, I’ve often developed a right-hand blister. It is no fun to play the final four or five holes of my only round of the year, not being able to fully-swing the club. 

Because they don’t want to wear a full golf glove on the bottom hand, many golfers, including the pros, get around off-hand blisters by taping up their fingers prior to teeing off. But tape can roll up after repeated swings, and can leave a sticky residue. Plus it’s cumbersome to put on and take off every time. 

Here’s a new product that will not only solve the problems you have with blisters on your non-glove hand, but will have your playing partners again shaking their heads in amazement and admiration, as they marvel at how, once again, you found the perfect product to give you an advantage they wish they had. The Digital Shield, (www.thedigitalshield.com), is a partial golf glove that comfortably covers just your thumb, index and middle fingers without smothering or constricting your entire hand. 

I’ve worn the Digital Shield and can tell you that it is so comfortable you’ll probably forget you have it on. It works great whether you’re playing a round of golf or just hitting a bucket at the range. The only downside you may have to endure an odd-looking tan on your hand. But consider that nothing more than a sign of intelligence that you wear proudly, showing everyone you meet that you’ve found an edge that gives you the upper-hand. Even if it is on your lower hand.

How much does this glove run?

I'm a professional scuba diver and avid golfer. I love the Digital Shield. It does exactly what it claims it does - great protection without impeding touch. The author of the article implies that since he doesn't golf much, he is prone to calluses. Understandably so. However, I play often and the product is perfectly suited to me as well. Whether playing round after round or just hitting ball after ball at the range, the hands can really take a beating. For the casual or frequent golfer alike, the product is great.
