Hello there. My daughter (14U shortstop) is in her 2nd year of using her Rawlings 12-inch R9 series glove (travel and rec ball - including fall ball). For $79 I couldn’t have asked for any more from the glove - although I have found myself doing more frequent tightening tweaks this season.
I am thinking about buying her a new glove to start breaking in - which she can start using this fall in HS. I have a big problem with dropping $200-300 for A2000/HOH gloves, I feel like she has gotten 85-90% of the performance for 40% of the price with the R9.
I am not sure if Rawlings is still making the R9 - so what are the price/value leaders that aren’t in the A2000 stratosphere?
Thanks!
