Thank you for your feedback, Woody. We're glad to hear that the glove initially provided a comfortable fit and that it adjusted well to your hand. However, we sincerely apologize for the issue you encountered with the glove ripping during your first round. We strive to ensure the highest quality in our products, and your experience clearly did not meet those standards. Our gloves are made with the highest quality leather, and as you are aware, leather is a natural hide that will stretch to some degree due to elements of humidity and sweating. In most cases, gloves that tear are usually a result of improper grip and swing. We are in no way suggesting this is the cause in your situation, but we wanted to provide some general information that might be helpful. Please know all Member’s Mark items come with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and can be exchanged or returned for a full refund anytime.
