Globe valves are built to throttle flow, not just open and close it. Here is the Woodbury guide.
The design
A globe valve's internal baffle lets you regulate flow through a fixture or line.
The use
They appear on hose bibs, fixtures, and systems that need adjustable flow.
The wear
The washer and seat wear with use, which is the usual cause of a drip.
The call
Regulate or repair the flow. Call 888-217-3585 and Woodbury Plumbing Helpers will match you with a Woodbury pro.
