What is the difference between a baseball batting glove and a golf glove?

Because I have a batting glove and want to use it for golf.|||Baseball Batting gloves are made of a lot thicker hide. They are for better grip on the bat and to whisk away the sweat. Hitters will use stuff like pine tar on their hands to better the grip. If they use gloves the tar stays with the glove and won't hamper defense play in the field. Can you imagine trying to throw a ball with a tar laced hand ?


Golf gloves are for feel and to whisk away sweat. Golfers don't use sticky stuff. We can change our grip material for better traction but mostly comes from the glove.


When I caught behind the plate in college I used a handball glove because of the extra padding.


THe bummer thing with gold gloves is that they wear out rather quickly in damp weather. So forget the glove and just get Corded Grips....|||basically the same glove |||i've often wondered that myself!|||Baseball gloves may have more padding or be made of a thicker material. Golf gloves are typically very thin. My dad used to ware baseball gloves when he golfed. He said he liked the fit and they lasted longer. I have never tried it.
