middle infield gloves

I think the Wilson A3000 11.5 is one of the best gloves u can buy

I use the Rawlings heart of the hide 11.5 trapeze glove, the one pedro wears, and it is very comfy, itll last a long time. I also use akadema gloves cus they break in so nice

One of my all-time favorite gloves is the TPX Omaha Classic 2004 11.25. It's what ive got now and ive never played better short-stop in my life. I am also 14 years old.

i really like the Rawlings Heart of the Hide PRODJ2. Its the glove derek jeter uses. 11.5 basket web and u may think i use it cause i like DJ but the main reason is because Basket webs are my favorite and the 11.5 is a little smaller than my glove before it 11.75.

nwshortstop19,

Are you primarily a SS or a 2Bman? I Play second and use a 10.5" Mizuno, you need a smaller glove at second to turn the double play. I wouldn't go over 11.5" at short, and I like the Rawlings Heart of the Hide Trapeze Glove.

ss

yeah im going to need a new glove for this fall, and i was thinking about getting the rawlings pro preferred 11" model (black greyish). That way you could play both 2nd and short.

nw,
Ya thats a pretty sick glove-- i was looking for a glove to break in over the fall and winter for highschool season next spring and i was looking at that one for short especially-- though I favor smaller gloves. Some of the A2000's and A3000's are pretty good too, but i feel Rawlings (Pro-Preffered) and Mizuno (Pro Limited/BUW/Classic) are the best infield gloves on the market.

I got an A2000 11.25 glove about 4 years ago and ever since then it has been perfect for me.
Just until recently the glove has become floppy and much harder to use in the field.
However I would strongly suggest that you buy and A2000 glove.
I was planning on getting the rawlings pro preffered I web 11.25 for my next glove.

omoha tpx's are really good for middle infeild



i thought akadema only made cathers gloves????...

Fellas - don't forget to look into NOKONA gloves. They don't pay big bucks for guys to wear their gloves, so the name may not be as familiar. But they are handmade in Texas and cannot be beat.

**My oldest son owns a Nokona infielder's glove and loves it - awesome glove, superior leather.

i use a PRODJ2, rawlings 11.5 Heart of the hide glove. its a basketweb and worn by Derek Jeter and i love it

the problem with nokona's and esp. gloves with a basket web is that the pocket becomes too deep and theres no way to tighten it up. at short or second its important to have an I web or a Flat pocket in order to keep the pocket minimul so you're quick. you don't want to spend all day searching for the ball down there!

agree-thats why the first thing i look for is size and the webbing

I use the Rawlings GGP200-9C Gold Glove while playing shortstop. It's a very high quality glove at a better price than many models.

is there an 11 inch pro-preferred?

I have a Z-TX it is a handmade glove made in mexico made of the best leather. It is a 11.25 i think. Of course i haven't played short since my freshman year but it is a great pitching glove. I've had it for 4 plus years and recently bought another just like it.

gold glove,

yea there are two 11 inch pro preferred gloves that i know of. The first ones model number is the PROS11SC which is the kind of bright tan color, and also there is the PROS13IC which is the grey and black one. Hope it helps.

the a2000's are also great gloves

have you guys ever heard of glovesmith(i have one and love it) and if so what are your thoughts on it

my friend has an 11 inch, but i have never used one so i dont know about glovesmiths

That Old-Timer is right..
Nokona's gloves are awesome
When I'm not pitching, 2nd is my home and I have used a Nokona 10.5 for almost five years...after four i finally got new laces, lining n pads but its a heck of a glove..I wouldn't trade it for the world
(But Rawlings MI gloves are good too)

i really like my pro preferred J series it breaks in very well and has great durability

My son purchased this model and can't say enough about it. He has been a middle infielder all his life (now playing in college). A great glove!
