So I have an idea for a business that relates to using a golf glove in a specific way. It's a slight change for the glove, but I've done extensive searches on google for this particular item included in a glove, and have not found them anywhere. I know there is a need for this because I golf, and on Saturday when I was golfing it hit me, and I was like I wish the golf glove could do this. I could say the idea, but it doesn't really matter because it's more of the concept I'm looking how to get to the next step.

For anyone that has gone in business that uses an existing product and slightly tweaks it, what is the best approach to take?

Should I try and design a product from scratch, or approach a manufacturer and say can you add this part to one of your items and brand it as my distinct product?
