    ordered one a month ago with the intentions of having it for christmas, but gave myself allowance of about a month and a half just incase something made me unhappy and i had to send it back. very happy with the outcome, although the flag stamp on the thumb is a bit hard to see with printed leather. definitely recommend if you have a creative mind and want a medium priced glove

    Because I grew up in the '60s, I thought I'd share a good laugh with you guys. My first glove cost me all of. . $5. That's right, sports fans. It was an "Al Kaline" black model. Not even sure who made it. I paid 50 cents a week on a payment plan from Western Auto. Our little town didn't even have a sporting goods store. I loved that glove and used it until I got to HS. I played college ball and a couple of years in A ball, then later continued to play amateur baseball until I was 50. My "go to" glove was the Wilson A2000. I know it cost under $75. A couple of years back, for fun, I was walking through the glove dept at Dicks Sporting Goods. Picked up a Wilson A2000. Price. .$325. I just held it on my hand. Now I know what it feels like wearing something "gold". The times have changed things for sure. Oh, btw, while some around me still used mules to plow their cornfields when I grew up, I'm happy to say that cars DID use gasoline.

      @@ballgloveking Glad you enjoyed it. I share your appreciation for a good ball glove. I don't have to apologize about being a "fossil" because I am one but it's true, the baseball glove often plays pivotal roles in life. Many a father started his kid out with a good "catch". In the movie "Field of Dreams", the scene involving Kevin Costner being able to have a catch with his father who "comes back to life" is one of the most powerful ever. It makes the movie complete and solidifies the link between father and son using an item most every little boy gets. . a baseball glove. In time, I hope you have a couple of sons. With your cache of gloves, you'll need "catchers" to use them all. Keep 'em oiled.

    Purchased a 44 Glove, a size 11 for a young player. Have worked on it for hours and hours, little to no improvement. I can't recommend this glove, the price was attractive, and the website worked well, it just won't loosen up. I purchased an R9 Rawlings 11.25 at the same time, broke in perfectly with reasonable attention. My 44 is a great looking glove that will never see the ball field.

I know Rawlings gloves will stand the test of time, but for $506.00 is really ridiculous especially when you can’t customize everything, the lack of colors and options.

    I’ve bought 3. I like one of them. Definitely don’t go with a c2. I just bought one of those out of curiosity and was very let down. But at $120 I don’t know what I expected. They say the C2 is like a heart of the hide. I have 2 heart of the hides and the c2 isn’t even in the same ball park. The pro customs I have are ok. Not on the level with Wilson a2000 or HOH despite being marketed as good as a pro proffered. If they never compared their gloves to HOH and Pro Proffered I wouldn’t be making those comparisons at all but I am just for you all so you know.

      I’d go with the 574 model, it isn’t necessarily a light model but it isn’t heavy. It does have a deep pocket though

      @@陳歪歪-e6b The Japanese models are light but shallow pockets. My last 44 was a Japan Select 11.5 and it's great for middle infielders. Also surprisingly loud when catching w/it. I wouldn't want to take a fastball to the palm though.

    • @ballgloveking

      I’d go with 12.5 or even 12.75 if your comfortable with a glove that big at second. In softball the ball is so big that it doesn’t make a huge difference when it comes to transfers so I’d say you might as well go big and go with something like 12.5”

    Do people just not know about Nokona gloves anymore? I've never in my life felt a better glove than the ones Nokona makes. Nolan Ryan even has a story about buying his first Nokona. Granted, it could still be a Texas thing since they're out of Nokona, TX, but I would've figured they'd be more popular today based on how it was back in the 90s and early 00s.

Any recs? Also have you experimented with different webs for your softball gloves enough to give a recommendation? I would really appreciate your expert opinion. Thanks

      So 44 is great for the price

      Nokona sells a fantastic glove for closer to $400
      My point is that you could get the same quality from other brands for cheaper
      Rawlings Heart of the Hides for example, fantastic glove for around $280 (never get a Rawlings heart of the hide R2G)
