Every glove has one obvious billboard — the back of the hand — and using it is the most common way a good glove gets ruined.

The back has to stretch

Every time the hand closes, the back panel flexes. Embroidery through it stiffens exactly the panel that must move.

That is why heavily branded gloves feel dead on the club, and why players stop wearing them.

The tab is the rigid part

The closure tab does not stretch, sits flat, and faces up when the hand is on the grip.

A debossed or printed tab mark survives the glove’s whole life without changing how it plays.

Be honest about the size

A tab mark is about the width of a thumb. It reads at handshake distance, not across a fairway.

If the brief is visibility at range, the right product is a towel, a flag or an umbrella — not a glove asked to do a job it cannot.

Proof it at actual size

Artwork approved on a screen at 400% is how tab marks turn to mud.

Ask for the proof at actual size, printed, before the run. We send one by default.
