Need Glove Advice

but a lot of them look exactly alike.

Well how much different do you want your glove to look.

There's only so much you can do to make them into a glove thats useable.

It's the hand in the glove that make's it a good glove.

It has to be one that you like.

Kelley's a good glove for the price, I alway's liked Rawling's.

EH, I'm with you on your personal likes. Call me old school but you just can't beat a good Rawling's glove.

I did purchase my son a few years back a Roy Hobbs glove that was pre-broke in and has quality leather. When I slipped my hand in that glove it was like my hand was meant for that glove!

My son has had many IF gloves. Rawlings Pro Preferred was the best in his mind and I agree.

I just ordered my son a custom Pro Preferred as his graduation gift and for his upcoming freshman year at college. I am just now picking myself up off the ground at how much these darn things costs!

I only wish you could request for Rawlings to pre-break it in but they said they couldn't. Go figure.

DBAT sells some of the finest gloves around and they are 1/3 less the price of a Rawlings or other "big-name" brands. Leather is better and already broken in. Try DBAT sports at www.dbatsports.com

Some colleges have glove contracts and you can't use their own gloves. Hopefully you did not spend a fortune for not....

I am also in the Rawlings fan club - I have had a series of Rawlings gloves for me since I was 10 - and 08Son has always had Rawlings other than one Wilson first baseman's mitt.

I actually don't like pre-broken in gloves. I think that nothing will ever fit your hand like a glove broken in by you for your hand. This does mean planning ahead. Do like the pros do - have your game glove and then have another glove that you are breaking in to replace your gamer in a year or two.

Son has a Glovesmith 1st basemans mitt & loves it. In fact for Christmas he has requested a Glovesmith pitchers glove. He was able to choose everything about his glove & it came prebroke in. Allow yourself time when you order. Great glove over all - not sorry I spent the money.

Homerun, the first thing I had younggun do before ordering was check with the Headcoach to see if he had any glove contracts and/or could he order!

Great minds think alike!

I'd recommend you take a look at the Rawlings Pro Preferred series of gloves. Top quality gloves that run around $250. If you need bat information take a look at www.baseballbatreviews.ruqqa.com

So far, its only Pinckard or Kelley for us...but I think we'll try a venci at some point.
