Aiden Ross Golf: Premium Gloves with Subtle Style

Golfers have limited outlets to express their personalities: apparel, headcovers, a lucky ball marker and gloves. And while there are some outrageous, purple and skulls & crossbone patterned options out there, Aiden Ross Golf is the only vendor striking that balance between bold and fashionable.

Aiden Ross Golf was founded in 2019 and, despite this short period of time, has already released gloves with 11 different designs—Lei, Benny, NYC, Luck, Stars, Imua, Aloha, Camo, Palm, Wehi, King, Pina and White—that are all made with 100% premium Cabretta leather.

However, unlike some more eccentric, loud golf gloves, Aiden Ross allows golfers to showcase their individualism with the aforementioned patterns, or a Custom Glove designed by you, in a bold but tasteful manner by turning the thumb line into a canvas.

I decided to try out the NYC, Luck and Benny patterns and see what separated Aiden Ross from everyone else in the marketplace.

To start, all of the gloves fit exactly as advertised and similar to each other. While manufacturing consistencies tend to be one of the more common flaws affecting products from vendors, both mainstream and non-mainstream, there were no size or fit inconsistencies between the three different gloves.

Second, none of the colors in the patterns ran or bled, even when my hands got sweaty. Indeed, some other funky colored gloves I’ve used in the past have often had issues with the color running during the first few times they get damp, which caught me off guard when I removed the glove to putt. And while the NYC, Luck and Benny each features different colors and patterns, the gloves never leaked or stained my skin.

Finally, best practices would recommend rotating gloves—between rounds and, ideally, between the front and back—to help get the most use out of them. But I wanted to see how the Aiden Ross gloves would handle excessive abuse.

Despite strictly using the Benny over the course of a month, during which I’ve been doing 2 to 3 SuperSpeed workouts per week and between 36 and 45 holes a week with twilight 9s and full 18s on the weekend, the Benny still hasn’t torn, ripped or stretched.

Yes, there is some fraying on the thumb pad, but I can also assure you that I’m the guy who can’t use thicker, padded golf grips, like the Winn Dri-Tacs or NO1 Grip 50 Series, because I’ll wear out the thumb sections in a single season. So to withstand the excessive use and friction created between my Golf Pride Tour Velvets and a firm grip, the Aiden Ross gloves truly impressed me with how well they held up.

While more budget-friendly gloves barely last 2 months of SuperSpeed workouts, due to the thumb or heel pad tearing right open, the Aiden Ross gloves handled excessive usage and still had ample grip to let me rip off 110+ MPH driver swings with confidence, all while continuing to look good.
