Just bought a nice 11 1/2" Rawlings fielders glove for darling daughter. She is a 14 year old. When I buy her batting gloves, she wears adult small. I tightened the wrist strap as much as I could by moving it with the laces to the tightest adjustment spots.
Dd had two 12" Nokona Buckaroo gloves prior. Both had Velcro wrist straps. I noticed today she had the Velcro wrist strap cranked so tight I couldn't even get my hand in it. My hands are bigger and I would call the wrist strap on the Rawlings snuggish when I put my hand in it.
She has been loving on the new glove but she has not caught balls she normally would and when I finally got tired of it and asked her about it she says the glove moves around on her hand too much. She can't get the wrist strap tight enough.
I am not sure if she just needs to adjust to a different style of glove and wrist strap or if I need to figure something else out. It seems like the glove she has should work... I would like to get away from the Velcro but migh not have any choice.
Any thoughts?
