EXO Golf Glove: More Distance, More Accuracy, More Game - Interview

Golf has long relied on leather gloves — even though pros quietly swap them mid-round because of their limits. The team behind the EXO Golf Glove believes it’s time for a change. Armed with Olympic-proven nanotech, they’ve set out to reinvent the only piece of gear that connects your hands to the club. In this interview, they explain why this glove isn’t just another accessory, but a genuine leap in performance.

How The EXO Golf Glove is Reinventing the Golf Glove

Many gloves claim performance and durability. What made you feel that the golf glove market still needed a rethink—and how does EXO redefine the standard?

Great question! For decades, golfers have unknowingly been held back by leather gloves. The problem is that leather simply breaks down too quickly. As it wears, the club slips and twists in your hands. Add moisture — sweat, rain, or humidity — and the same thing happens even faster. That slipping and twisting may not even be noticeable, but it has a big effect. Every time the club moves in your hand, energy is lost instead of being transferred cleanly into the ball. Less energy means less power, less control, and inconsistent shots. Over time, it leads to what golfers hate most: loss of confidence and increased frustration. The pros know this. It’s why they change gloves after every round, sometimes even mid-round. But regular golfers often keep using the same glove, unaware of the damage it is doing to their game.

The EXO Golf Glove, powered by Zyntech™ , fixes this problem. Zyntech™ works at the nano level, where performance is won and lost. It does more than just create a better grip. It increases surface contact with the club, minimizes unwanted movement, absorbs shock, and reduces vibration.

The result is a cleaner, more efficient transfer of energy with every swing. Instead of energy being wasted, it’s optimized and driven directly into the ball. That means more power, more distance, straighter shots, and a new level of confidence in your game.

Proven Materials and Nano Tech

You’ve combined ultra-specialized fabric with your nanotechnology. What testing and experience led you to this material choice?

At the core of the EXO Golf Glove is Zyntech™ , our patented nanotechnology. Zyntech™  is not new. For more than two decades, it has quietly powered elite athletes to world-class performances. You may remember Michael Phelps and his famous full-body swimsuit. That suit marked the birth of Zyntech™  with “Sharktec” applied to the forearms to increase surface area by 2.5 times, giving him the equivalent of “oars instead of arms” in the water.

From swimming, Zyntech™  moved into cycling. At the 2008 Olympics, the British Cycling Team won gold with Zyntech™ applied to their saddles, preventing unwanted movement and ensuring maximum energy went directly into the bike. Since then, Zyntech™ has been used in motor racing, mountain biking, football, and ski jumping, enhancing performance without you even realizing it exists.

Now, for the first time, Zyntech™  is in your golf glove. By increasing surface contact, minimizing slipping and twisting, and reducing shock and vibration at the nano level, it ensures more of your energy flows into the club where it belongs. To make this possible, we had to engineer a specialized fabric. Normal fabrics cannot withstand the application process, nor the stress Zyntech™ exerts in use. Apply it to leather, and it literally melts in seconds. Our custom-developed fabric allows Zyntech™  to bond effectively, creating a glove that is not only high-performing but also incredibly durable. In Martindale durability tests, the EXO Golf Glove lasted at least five times longer than premium leather gloves, and in one case 22 times longer than a $40 leather model golfers know well. An additional benefit is all-weather performance. Because of Zyntech™  design, the glove performs just as well in the wet as in the dry, giving you confidence and consistency no matter the conditions.

Proving It Works

Crowdfunding golf gear can be a skeptical market. How are you convincing backers that the EXO Golf Glove isn’t just a stylish glove, but one that genuinely improves play?

Skepticism is natural. When golfers first hear that a glove can add distance and improve accuracy, any roll their eyes. We get it — it sounds too good to be true. That’s why we rely on evidence, not promises. The EXO Golf Glove has been tested by touring professionals, top amateurs, and everyday golfers, producing thousands of data points with leading launch monitors. The results are consistent and clear:

● 100% of golfers gained driver carry distance compared to leather — with an average of +6.5 yards, and one tester adding a massive +23.9 yards instantly just by switching to the EXO Golf Glove.

● 67% improved accuracy off the tee.

● 80% increased iron carry distance.

In short, The EXO Golf Glove consistently outperforms leather across distance, accuracy, and consistency. And this isn’t just in-house testing. EXO has been tested independently, including where golfers who had never seen or heard of our glove experienced instant gains. It has been validated by the inventor and CEO of FlightScope, whose company was involved in several of our tests. And it has already made a difference in competition — a top South African amateur credited the EXO Golf Glove for helping him win a prestigious event in tough conditions, shooting a 67 in the final round. Does this mean you’ll never slice again? Of course not. Golf is still golf. But on average, EXO improves the quality of your contact, giving you more consistent, longer shots, and the confidence to trust your swing. We’re not asking you to take our word for it. We’re asking you to look at the evidence, try EXO for yourself, and feel the difference the moment you put it on.

The EXO Golf Glove: A $60 Glove?

At $60 MSRP, the EXO Golf Glove is more expensive than most golfers are used to paying for a glove. How do you justify the price?

It’s true — $60 is more than most golfers are used to spending on a glove. But EXO isn’t just another glove. EXO outperforms leather in every way. In durability tests, it lasted at least five times longer than premium leather. That means fewer replacements, more savings over time, and a glove that keeps its shape and performance round after round. On top of that, EXO works in all conditions — dry, wet, or humid — so you no longer need multiple gloves in your bag. Durability is only part of the story, though. What truly sets EXO apart is performance. Golfers regularly spend $500 or more on a new driver, hoping for extra yards, yet most reviews show those gains are minimal.

With EXO, the improvement is immediate. Testing shows an average of +6.5 yards added to driver distance simply by switching gloves, with the potential to see similar benefits across the entire bag. So while the upfront price is higher, EXO delivers measurable performance gains, far greater durability, and all-weather reliability. It isn’t just a glove at $60 — it’s a piece of performance equipment.

The EXO Golf Glove is Definitely More Than a Glove

Beyond this campaign, do you see The EXO Golf Glove as a one-product revolution, or the start of a performance golf gear line?

Thanks for this question! EXO is much more than a single glove. Golf is where we begin because leather gloves are outdated, ineffective, and golfers deserve better. But our mission is to transform the way athletes connect with their equipment across all sports. We are already working on R&D for racket grips in tennis, padel, and pickleball. And if you think our golf glove claims are bold, we’ve just completed baseline testing in running that shows improvements in movement efficiency so significant they could take runners to a whole new level.

The potential for Zyntech™  is vast. But to get there, we need to succeed with golf first. That is why this Kickstarter campaign is so important. It is not just about making the best golf glove — it is about proving what is possible and building a community that wants to be part of the movement. Right now, you have a choice. Stay with leather and accept its limits. Or join us, back the EXO Golf Glove, and unlock your potential — in golf, and beyond.

Thank you to Paul, Dan, and Joseph for sharing the story behind EXO. By replacing outdated leather with proven nanotech, they’ve created a glove that adds power, precision, and consistency to every swing. More than gear, EXO is a movement to change how athletes connect with their equipment — starting with golf, but not ending there.
