Less forgiving than a flat leather training glove but still fun to use. We've been using a couple of them for years now and they have held up very well. Other than the typical use, when stuck in the garage we play catch, 2 handed close range quick, quick back and forth short hops, pop up short hops, one handed pop up catch and then flip the ball back in the air, one handed short hop catch and control and then flip a short hop back in one motion and also behind the back flips. All types of things you can make up to have fun and break the routine.

Akadema makes a nice one too, they run 50% off specials around holidays.

Also Mizuno makes a 9" glove for training, they are nicely made. Justballgloves and others have them.

DD always remarks about how small the fielders gloves are when she goes to big school type camps, so she was dying to try it when she got it.

Peanut, how are they using it?

Thanks Eric F that's a great price. I would describe Akademas pancake glove as high quality.
