I've been wearing two in the pinky for years, both infield and outfield, and putting on a glove traditionally just makes me wonder how someone could possibly prefer that
when you first start doing the finger shift it feels so strange... then next thing you know, you find yourself wondering how you ever played wearing a glove traditional style.
Love these videos about shaping your glove. Have you ever considered doing a “what went wrong” video? The idea being you can have people show you their gloves and you can explain what went wrong in their break-in and how to fix it (or do it better next time).
2 in the pinky is pretty solid for outfield, but ever since I started watching WPW I noticed a lot of outfielders saying they switched to three in the pinky. Personally, after trying it I think it’s a super solid way to go. Plays super deep.
Ima join baseball next year for my senior year and it’s gonna be my first time playing and I wanna play outfield but I don’t know what are the best gloves to get and how to shape or break through it 💀 are $60 gloves from big 5 good?
@@brooooooooooooooooo______ if you get your glove, ball glove king has an amazing video on breaking in your glove. i get it haha it’s confusing but you’ll get it man just watch his tutorial and this video on how to shape it.
@@brooooooooooooooooo______ i wouldn’t recommend $60 gloves because they won’t last long and usually aren’t good quality but what is your budget so i could get a better idea?
To all the youngsters, there is no one size fits all approach. I’ve played for close to 30 years, infield and outfield and have experimented with old and new techniques. My advice is to try something until it works and feels best for your play style. The biggest game changer to me is size and web style.
Been doing 3 in the pink since college ball. Heard Buxton say he had done it years back and I gave it a shot. Never looked back, highly recommend giving it a shot. Also co-sign the mild-flare.
I am an outfielder and actually go 3 in the pinky. I have a fairly small hand and a 13” outfield glove. The pinky is huge so I have room. The pocket is super deep and I really like it.
I use 3 in pinky because I feel like it closes better and closes around the ball in the pocket I also like how it sits higher up on my hand to give a little bit more of length
A2Ks are pretty much the same as last year. Whatever model it is, you can form the glove as any other similar to it: Infield model like the 1786, break it in like an infield model. An outfield model, break it in like an outfield model.
@@brownleeallday You usually want a shallower pocket than an outfield glove, though most of that depends on the gloves actual shape. Basically use any tutorial on youtube and you should be good.
Hey Ball glove king I’m in a HUGE pickle. I got this sweet new 44 that I modeled exactly like the all blonde with navy web one u have. So I’m debating if I go traditional with one finger out or 2 in the pink. I play 3rd
I’d honestly lean toward two in the pocket. If it’s really important to you to have a more shallow pocket then obviously go traditional but otherwise go two in the pinky
Do you think the closed back with a finger hole makes a better and more stable pocket than an open back? I've used both. As a kid it was all finger hole but I haven't used it in many years so I don't know what's better
Would you recommend 44 pro's superskin? What are the pros and cons of 44's regular leather and superskin? Also I was wondering if you knew if 44 pro's superskin is the exact same as what Wilson offers?
What do you prefer in a glove when it comes to 44, I really want one and think a glove expert can help me with that, my preferred wear is 12 to 12.5 and I’m 13.5 years old any ideas?
Thumbnail had be questioning my sanity with the same pic twice reminds me of some life hack video(nothing to you Chris you are a great guy and content creator)
nope do not agree about the dam flaring that makes the glove look like sh$t and I wanna have my glove look as good as it can be. Also, Thanks for the video just hate flared glove.

I relate to this statement way to much
Lol it feels weird to go back when it’s all you do

@@wyattzuk512 facts
It’s crazy cause I never thought about two in the pinky until I started watching you and it feels so much better. More control.

That’s a super solid idea I’ll try to in the future

Lotta people are saying three in the pinky, maybe I’ll make a video on it
Yea I got three in the pinky because it just feels better when catching
same
3 in the pink for outfield, 2 in the pink for infield and 2 in the pink for catching
I’ve been wearing 3 in the pinky and I recommend it for outfield, because of the extra reach, feel and easiness to close. Also never stings
Good to know!

i find that curling the pinky slightly is better for snowcone catches because it holds onto the ball better

WILL YOU PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON HOW TO FORM THE 2022 a2k. I’m thinking about buying it. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!

If you are considering it I recommend just getting it. It’s a fantastic glove and great for anyone
@@ballgloveking How do I form it, and break it in?
@@dpal35 how do you break it in like a infield model

Thoughts on 3 in the pinky in the outfield? Started doing that when I switch to outfield full time
I’ve heard a lot of people do it, I’ll try and make a video on it
You should review the Anthony Rizzo heart of the hide rawling 12.75" I have the glove it is an amazing option and more people should have it
i’ve been running 3 in the pinky and honestly like it better than 2 for outfield

2 in the pinky for a deeper pocket while also being able to maintain quick transitions.
I’d honestly lean toward two in the pocket. If it’s really important to you to have a more shallow pocket then obviously go traditional but otherwise go two in the pinky
@@TUFF-Flicks Thanks
@@ballgloveking Thanks
Is that a new Mizuno glove on the right side (your left) top corner?
Yes…
Glove review?!
You should try and find a original Griffey JR model from the early 2000s.
i do three in the pinkycrazy
How should shape and wear my glove as a slow pitch back-catcher?
Pretty similarly to Amy outfield glove, two in the pinky with a flare
Flare or roll ?? I just got a new glove and have never flared always rolled I play outfield
can you do a video like this about how to wear and shape a glove but for 3rd base or middle infield?
who is your favorite player because you should do a glove review on them
Tommy Edman, I wanna do one on him soon!
Do you think the closed back with a finger hole makes a better and more stable pocket than an open back? I've used both. As a kid it was all finger hole but I haven't used it in many years so I don't know what's better

Not superskin but snakeskin. No pros to getting the snakeskin. Doesn’t use technology like Wilson does.
What are the best ways to get a palm stain I really like the look
That Y web looks sick! Do know anything about the 661 gloves I see on mercari?
I’ve seen those too, not horrible gloves but they are not very nice
hi ,could you give me a reason to flair a glove ? or several reasons if you want to ,just wondering
I mean, was the last time I played in the outfield consistently 3 years ago? Yes. Still a great vid
Lol thanks
is it possible to use 2 in the pinky with a trapeze heart of the hide?
Could you do a video on a pitchers glove?
Thanks
Yes sir
Being a lefty, I do two in the pink for everything cause i don’t have to worry about fast transfers
Makes sense

Have you ever tried 3 in the pinky
I can’t shape and form my Wilson a2000 with the super skin in the back do u have any recommendations or cam u make a video for me

Yes and no, it’s different with different gloves/webs
Do a review with will on his catchers mitt please

What do you prefer in a glove when it comes to 44, I really want one and think a glove expert can help me with that, my preferred wear is 12 to 12.5 and I’m 13.5 years old any ideas?
What position?
@@ballgloveking short, 3rd and second
I’d go 12” at the biggest if you play a little bit of second base
I’d consider 11.75” even
@@ballgloveking okay any design ideas?
That's a clean 44
True
Great video! I notice that a lot of MLB players also have their glove really high up on their hands. is that something you would suggest as well?
is 3 in the pinky better than 2?
I’ll have to make a video and find out
I do three in the pink
Nice
Is a modified t web from 44 a good outfield web?
Yessirr
Thanks, could you possibly do a review on the wilson a1000 infield glove I have one they're not bad gloves. I would like to hear your opinion on them.
Love these vids bro. I really need an A2K for middle infield got any extra you wanna sell?
I don’t right now sorry bro!
Do “differences between a baseball and softball gloves
Not a bad idea
When are the slow pitch videos coming back!?
Big news on those coming soon
about how many gloves do you have?
im an outfielder and i play 12u and since the kids don hit the ball that hard to me I wear my glove two in the pinky and finger out on the index slot
Good move
I switched to Tip flared about 7 yrs ago. Attempted to go back to traditional grip felt weird as hell never again will i go to traditional lol
Stuck for life
Can you do one about Josh Donaldson and his glove?
Possibly
i always wear 2 in the pinky
Noice

You’re a mad man
But I have like 4 heart of the hide gloves out, fielding, pitching, and fielding
Gotta love the hoh
My son likes three in the pinky
That is also how Bryon Buxton rocks his glove.
That is correct, somewhat common actually

True

I’m pretty sure Kris Bryant wears his glove traditional in the outfield

Am i a psycopath because i go 3 in the pinky

Almost 1st
Is that the Derek Jeter model on the wall because if it is please remove.
Gotta have a hat! Link when you decide to sell them! 🖤🥎
2 fingers in the pinky might be better but its so unfomfortable
I thought that too before I got used to it
I don’t see the difference from the thumbnail pictures
It doesn't matter how you wear your glove, at the end of the day you will still catch the ball.
OK I'll just wear it on the wrong hand then, doesn't matter right?
Yes but also no
That’s like saying your batting stance doesn’t matter
Switching things up after being educated can help a lot
Second
Good try
First
