Looking for a Durable Glove

Nokona's top line gloves are excellent.

Kelley makes a good Durable glove.
And the price is right.
Kevlar stitching, Heavy duty leather.

It's always good to have a Game playing glove, And a New glove to break in at the same time..

Rawlings is a great line, if you have the dough, you can check out the hand crafted Italian leather:

Rawlings Primo

Homerun04, That is a nice looking glove.
I don't know if I should wear it,
Or Drive it. lol

Check out the TPX PRO gloves. Good price and great quality. Break it in correctly and you'll have it around for a long time.

I have players that have had many types of gloves and the gloves that usually get the best cudo's recently have been for the infield Rawlings Heart of the Hide, they seem for somereason to last longer and be more durable then the pro-Pref. As far as catchers gloves the wilson a2k is the best and outfielders gloves alot of guys like the mizuno ichiro web classic pro leather. Nokona and Kelly are nice but are pricey for being a typical glove and the Primo go ahead if you got the $$$ an infielders dream, but not worth it for OF.

A2000 should last the career

I tell you what...this glove lasted my entire career!

It was a rather short career, but loaded with lots of good memories and good snacks!

I reccomend both Kelley Gloves and Pinckard Gloves by Bill Pinckard.

I've had both, had players who used both and were outstanding. Personally, and this is my opinion, I dont know why you would buy a 'name' glove for $250 when you can get a Kelley or Pinckard for $170.

Bill Pinckard himself usually answers the phone himself when you call, and will help you with anything you need.

A good glove should take a month or so to break-in real nice and should last 2 to 3 years. Unless you are on a "glove deal" with a manufacturer, I would NOT buy a "quick break-in" or murachi japanese leather glove as these break in quickly and will last you only a year...or a long season.

Be forewarned a good glove will probably be as hard as a brick when you first get it.

I'm a big proponent of taking the time you need to break-in a glove playing catch, maybe some mink oil or lanolin spray ... but I think baking a $200 piece of leather is a bad idea.

If you have a few extra minutes have Mr. Pinkard tell you about how he created the "High Seam" baseball, and how a few of his former employees took that idea and started Diamond baseballs. It's an interesting story.
