that must impressive. the pro preferred products i have seen over the last 10 years or so are not lacking in quality.

I think the difference is the toughness of the leather. Allstar takes FOREVER to break in and stays harder longer. But there's basically just one high end Allstar model. It's the $400 mitt. (Maybe $450 now?) Everyone uses the same one because it's just the one model.

Rawlings has different levels. I think only their custom ones will reach $400+. Then they have ones closer or below $300 and others closer or below $200.

$300 is still a lot of money for a mitt. But, I think - but I'm not sure - that the $300 Rawlings breaks in faster and will get softer sooner than the top of the line Allstar.

Literally, the Allstar will take 4 to 6 months to fully break in where it's 100% where you want it.
