44 PRO GLOVES vs RAWLINGS PRO PREFERRED (BOTH KIP LEATHER)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- Both the 44 Pro Signature series and the Rawlings Pro Preferred are made with Japanese Kip leather. In the video we cover the positives and negatives of the gloves. They are both fantastic gloves and it really all comes down to your preference.

I have a 44 Pro, HoH R2G and Pro Preferred all purchased this year. I think both Rawlings gloves have substantially better craftsmanship. The Pro Preferred is clearly the best out of the 3 in terms of quality and craftsmanship. The HoH R2G is a step down from the PP and the 44 Pro is another step down from my HoH. Both Rawlings use better grade leathers with the PP being the highest level. While the 44 Pro uses Kip leather, it just doesn't feel like the quality is as good as even my HoH R2G. Rawlings definitely use better quality laces. Thicker and more supple than 44 laces which are thinner and feel harder/stiffer. The Pro Preferred lining is super luxurious feeling. The 44 Pro sheepskin lining is a big step down while the HoH R2G deertanned cowhide lining isn't as soft as the other two, but I prefer the fit and feel on the inside of the HoH glove over the 44 Pro. If you're shopping for a quality glove and don't care about customizing the colors, I would recommend either Rawlings HoH or Pro Preferred over the 44 Pro. If you buy buying a prior season model Rawlings glove which can be had at a significant discount, the price ends up being about the same as the price of a 44 Pro even with a 25% discount. The choice is obvious to me. However, if you really want to customize the colors, I can see choosing a 44 glove.

No comparison...Rawlings is way better than 44 and you can buy an HOH for $200 off Amazon...just gotta watch the sales.

Can u do a vid on how u got ur tan and navy glove formed
I will definitely try
i love the chrisianity parts .
On the 44Pro gloves. Is there a design change from the infield and outfield gloves or is it just the sizing? 12.25" is the biggest infield and my normal glove is 13.5", which I use for infield and outfield in slow pitch.
I believe that the sizing just changes. If you are gonna play softball I would get a 44 softball glove
I have watched A lot of reviews of 44 pro gloves and I love to watch your reviews, and I am waiting for my glove, I can’t wait
Purple, gold, and Sky Blue baby
Thank God you know the real understanding of 4:13
Nice vid! I relace gloves. I’m a huge Rawlings fan! Even have a GTOM design by my friends at Leather and Lumber Athletics. I have 2 Pro 44 and I can honestly say that they are right there hand and hand with any Rawlings. I feel like HOH May actually last longer than PRO P. Pro 44 are just as durable. Pro 44 are better than ANY A2000. The only reason I feel people choose Wilson is because they have better color choices and designs than Rawlings. If you have $180-$200 to spend on a glove there’s no reason to pick anything other than Pro 44. They have sales every holiday weekend and you can get 20% off.
HOH goes soft and unusable waaaaay quicker than PP. But cool story bro! Wilson A2K is #1 for durability and longevity btw. Get out there and try some other mitts before spreading misinformation.
@@TheDoozie43 You can be a brand loyalist to Wilson. I’m speaking thru experience. I relace and break-in over 100 gloves a year. I can honestly tell you Wilson keeps me busy! That’s not a good thing. The A2K is a great glove but at that price point there’s dozens of better options.
Do red,white,and blue for your 44 batting gloves
scarlet, sky blue, navy
Is there a way to break in my glove so that my thumb touches the pinky
Wearing your glove with two fingers in the pinky will help, some gloves make it harder to do that but it’s definitely possible you just need to put a ton of work in on it
Chris Bangert, thank you
Blond, black, and gold
Do 44 vs Wilson
There’s no comparison. 44 is better!
@@dannygarcia4322 😧
44 feel closer to Domins. An older Mexican glove brand. They don’t feel nearly as quality as Wilson a2000 or heart of the hide. Pro proffered are way better than 44. Heart of the hide and a2000 smoke 44. Not hating 44. I have two and just ordered another. But that’s just because i didn’t want to pay 200 more for a custom Rawlings or Wilson. That’s the only advantage to 44. Price.
That’s like your opinion dude lol
@@blacksheepsoftball he’s right though 🤷♂️
for the blonde 44 gloves what do you put for the color because sometimes they come like white can you please tell me
On the 44 builder make sure to choose blonde anywhere that you want the bone/blonde color
I have a 44 pro 574 and I think they are to thick and heavy, Then again I have small hands but my favorites are A2k.
I used to use a Brandon Phillips a2k and I loved it!
If you think about it the Rawlings probably only has one more season than the 44 but double the price and it’s customizable
Gold, black and the last color could be any of these sky blue, red, white.
Green,Blue,Gold Great Vid
U should get a 44 pancake trainer or training glove. I've always wanted one, and the closest I can get to it is to watch my favorite UA-cam do a review with one.
I’ve always wanted one as well, I’ll have to try to get one
Chris Bangert do you think their 9.5” trainer would be helpful for Slowpitch or would it be too small for that
I noticed the glove locks/ lace tightening system on your 44. Do you put those on as soon as you unbox or only in certain circumstances? What are the pros/cons of those in your opinion? How many do you use per glove? Do they ever break?
Thanks
I'm on the hunt for a new glove, and I'm sad to say that it will probably be the last glove I own in my life. I currently play Men's Softball and Coach Little league so the glove will see a decent amount of usage. My dog, an 18 month old Doberman, just destroyed my glove, a 12" Nike which I bought about 15 years ago. I played all positions with this glove and snagged some amazing catches in the OF. The quality of it was awesome and it breaks my heart knowing I will not be playing with it anymore. Last season, after the incident, I just couldn't hold on to a hard hit ball. If one was hit to me the glove would move just enough on my hand to cause me to bobble the ball and make costly errors. Was I getting older and slower or was it the glove. I'd like to think it was the latter and believe a new glove will help me with those plays.
I digress. So, my search is on for a new mitt and I came across the 44's and Rico's when I was looking at getting a custom glove. I, at first, was looking at the Rawlings Pro Preferred custom glove and although it has decent options at customization, they didn't have white which I wanted to put into the overall color scheme. My son's baseball team, and the town we live in, primary colors are White, Powder Blue and Navy blue and seeing as how I am willing to make the investment in my final mitt I didn't really want to settle.
I came across Rico's gloves and they had an amazing amount of customization. Same with 44's gloves. This is what brought me to your review/comparison, which is thorough and excellent by the way so thank you.
Given the price, the cost of living now and the fact that I have 3 boys, I just can't justify getting a $500+ glove that I'd have to settle for. SO.... 44 or Rico? Have you tried a Rico glove? If so, what are your thoughts and how does it compare to the 44?
Thank you for an awesome comparison and God bless.
definitely 44 they last longer for sure especially since you think it will be your last glove
Does pro stiff and standard stiffness change the leather quality? Because my 44 is standard stiff and it looks dry and feels dry and my friends is pro stiff and feels good and looks shiny
No the only difference with pro stuff is that they do less break in work with it in the factory
@@ballgloveking If that’s not the reason, why do you think my glove looks dry and feels dry even after conditioning?
Hit me up on Instagram and send me some pictures, I’ll see if I can help
@@ballgloveking I don’t have IG but there is a video on my channel. Thank you
Is the Japanese 44 good
I gamed one last year and I loved it
Hey dude love the vids and keep prechen
Preaching *
Could I get the second pro preferred
Sorry bro not for sale
I have a question why do you play softball and not baseball?
Me and my brothers play slow pitch softball because we haven’t found a decent baseball league to join. We definitely want to join some kind of baseball rec league though.
Keep making videos. They are great.👍🙏
Do red white and navy blue to match your dual welting 44 pro
love the scripture man, stay rooted!
You should condition a 44 pro glove
If you had to pick between a Wilson, Rawlings or 44 what would you pick for 3rd base? I’ve used Wilson and Rawlings and I like Wilson a little more but never used 44 so I want to try
I personally would pick 44, one is because I love the leather they use and I have many so I know they they are high quality just like Rawlings and Wilsons, and two because it’s fully customizable which obviously means you can make a sick looking glove but it also means you can make the exact build that you want for third. If you have a certain web you like you can use it and you can get any length you prefer. It’s simply all up to you to make your perfect glove!
Chris Bangert thank you, is there any specific model I should get that you think works better than others?
My 574 is my favorite! I have 2 44's. The 574 is incredible
Wilson A2K all day. Old post I realize though.
which 44 glove do you use fore slow-pitch softball??
I use the dual welting glove that has the America theme
@@ballgloveking but which type of glove from pro 44. because i want one but i play both infield baseball and slow pitch. (baseball glove or softball?)
great collection BTW!
I picked the traditional model and put dual welting on it, hopefully that was want you wanted my bad bro
@@ballgloveking it was thanks man!
Miami vice colorway, pink , baby blue, and a black or peach like Color way 👊🏻
What do you play slowpitch at?
Like what position?, if so I play short
Chris Bangert where are you from?
Chicago!
Is the form of the 44 pro glove good?
How did you get dual welting?
You need to choose the first “44pro” glove option. I believe it is the only glove you can choose dial welting on
Chris Bangert I found out it’s only available when you select “infield” :(
Also put your Ebay in the bio so people can buy off you
You’re a genius
