What is the best 1st base glove to get?

I have a Wilson A2000 Firstbasemans glove. I love it but its all a matter of opinion. I know Rawlings makes good gloves. My suggestion would be to a shop and talk with the owner. He usually knows whats up and will you guide in a "player type" fit.

I've been nothing but happy with my Easton first baseman's glove.
Rawlings gloves are always high quality, too.

thanks a lot ya'll

what size is ur glove? in eastbay they are only like 12 in.

Christopher_91,


Its 12.5" its the 2004 model here it is....

ok thanks

i was looking at the Rawlings gold glove. Ya'll have any view on those?

ive got one and i like it but the pocjet doesnt seem that deep on it compared to an old mizuno my dad used for town ball

txtitans33 - try Salinas their soft leather great pocket 2nd choice Mizuno.

Good Luck scoopin' it!

Where can you get Salinas? I have never heard of them.

try s3gloves.com or type it in on yahoo. Orlando Salinas is the man to talk to I believe they are in Galveston.

Now dont try this unless its an old glove.. But i hade a friend that there was way too much padding in his glove and so he pulled all the laces out and padded it himself.. Took a few days but was way nice afterwards.. He put like dr. scholls jell stuff in there its kinda weird but now the glove kicks.

Ya dude that glove sounds a little different to save the least.

Ya that glove sounds different to say the least.

Gold Glove series mitts aren't bad, but once they start breaking down, they are dead. They don't last very long, I had a catchers mitt, and after about 3 years, it was so floppy, I couldn't catch with it. THe leather is the game ready type, so I would suggest either get an A2000, or a pro preferred or HOH. It's a pity they don't make A3000 mitts, that would be awesome.

the gold glove ive had for about 1.5 yrs is all floppy above my fingers it sucks because it flops over if a ball is cought there

Yeah, same as mine. My player preferred series mitt is lasting longer. **** glove, but quite durable for such a cheap mitt. The reason they break down is the game ready oil injected leather stuff. It has oil already in it, so it just wears out faster. I wish they didn't make them all like that.
