A cadet golf glove is a type of golf glove designed specifically for golfers with smaller hands, shorter fingers, and wider palms. These gloves have slightly shorter finger lengths and a wider palm and back of the hand relative to "regular" size gloves. They are often preferred by golfers with shorter fingers and wider palms, as they provide a better fit and more comfortable feel. The ideal fit for a cadet glove is a glove that lies slightly taut over the palm of the hand and around the fingers, and is not loose on the wrist or has excess room in the fingertips. Cadet golf gloves are available in a variety of materials, including leather and synthetic materials, and are a great option for golfers with smaller hands who are looking for a comfortable and secure fit on the course.
