1980
The StaSof glove arrives. Tacky cabretta leather, cut close to the hand. It quietly becomes the most played glove in professional golf.
Today
The number one shoe and the number one glove in golf. Not by slogan; by count, week after week, on every major tour.

Entry IV · The Last Room
FootJoy offers the most width options in golf, N through XW, and says nearly 40 percent of people should be wearing a narrower or wider shoe than they think. The most common mistake: going up a size when a shoe feels tight instead of trying a wider width.

The fitter’s notes · by line
Pro SL / Pro SLX Carbon
Runs big. Many size down a half or more.
“Ordered a pair of Pro SL Carbon Boas, size 12 from Amazon. Absolutely swimming in them and thought it was the Boa mechanism.”r/golf
HyperFlex Carbon
Half size down for many feet.
“I’m a half size smaller in the Hyperflex carbon as well.”r/golf
Premiere Series
Generous against sneaker sizing.
“I wear a 12 or 12.5 in Nike depending on the shoe, but 12 in footjoy was way too big. Went with an 11.5. For the footjoy premiere and they’re by far the most comfortable golf shoes I’ve ever worn.”r/golf
Traditions
Often a size down from sneaker sizing.
“I wear an 11.5 Traditions Blucher but 12.5 in Nike Roshe golf shoes.”r/golf
Two measurements decide a FootJoy glove: the length of your middle finger, and the circumference of your lead hand around the first knuckles, thumb excluded. FootJoy reckons upwards of half of golfers wear the wrong glove size, most of them too big.
Enter the measurement and the row lights up.
