Glove Recomendations

[4 girl's dad]

Your opinion. Anything less than 12.5” isn’t enough glove. Especially when many gloves run short.

Again, your opinion. Do you actually know any college players? I do. They are not using 12.5” gloves.

I can’t remember the last time I saw a 12.5” glove in the infield, years!

Ill throw in ,12 or 12 1/4 Infield. Look for a nice wide pocket.
-Never seen a ball drop out of Dd vela.

I have not seen feedback on this glove(Palmetto), but it seems lots of people here are happy with the big sister version Magnolia.

I have never held a Palmetto model, but I did buy the Marucci Magnolia. I loved the Magnolia fielder's glove. However, a fellow coach in Indonesia recently got a shipment of Palmetto gloves after asking for Magnolia gloves. He was very disappointed with the Palmetto model. I just say be cautious and get more informed opinion.

If I ordered the magnolia and got the palmetto I would be upset too. They are in a different class with each other. The palmetto is a good 10U -12U glove. Easy to break in and comfortable for smaller hands. The Magnolia is more in line with an A2000 or a HOH.

Yeah, that wouldn’t work for me either!

Kicking myself for not jumping on that deal sooner - Magnolia’s catchers mitts are sold out.

I really struggle with the whole youth glove thing. I have tried them all I think. I want to buy her the best glove I can get, but an A2000 or HOH is just too much glove for my 10 yo DD. It is very hard to find a glove that is workable and fits the hand for a 10 yo, but still nice with some structure. We have tried the Marucci Palmetto, the Easton pro Fastpitch, the All-Star Vela, and a Rawlings LA. So far she uses the Rawlings as her game glove and the Marucci as her pitching glove. She says the Marucci is the most comfortable glove that fits her hand the best. She has the Kelsey Stewart A2000 that I got a great deal on sitting on her desk waiting for the day she can manage it.

(As I type this out I realize I may have a problem haha)

For youth gloves, Bradley has some amazing options.
