Got my dds new Bradley Bandito glove, looks like it’s going to work well for her

I posted a thread here a little while back asking for suggestions. To recap: My dd is 12, moving up to 14u for local ball this fall and will be playing on her 7th grade team next spring, seems to be settling in as a starter at 3b, but not written in stone, so I wanted something that could serve her well in a utility role also.
Anyway, we settled on a Bradley Bandito I web or H web in 12.25”. We just opened it and got a look at it and caught a few tosses with it today, so I wanted to give my impression of it so far. You can spend half as much and get a cheap disposable glove with mostly synthetic material, or I can spend double or maybe more for a pro series rawlings or a2000. I cant comment yet on durability obviously, but just looking over the glove it looks to be a quality peice, much better than the cheaper stuff, and apears just as nice as more expensive stuff(apears is key word). It appeared to come with breakin started a bit, just enough that she could move it and close it and catch a few balls so she knew right away it was going to work well for her. It is not as stiff as my all star was when it came out of the box, but is a bit stiffer and more structured than my wifes lower cost wilson a500. It also seems to have a plenty deep pocket if she sees an occasional inning in the outfield. All in all I am pretty impressed with it so far, and she really seems to like it right away.

All the cool kids put them on classic cars for pics, I was hoping to have my grandpas 72 442 that I just bought home to set it on, but I dont have it out of storage yet. Anyway, here are a few and my new allstar trap glove.

Looks nice. I think the price-point is right on and it'll be great for your DD.

My DD has the same glove in a 12" pattern. She's had it for about a year and a half now and it's still in great shape. It's pretty remarkable considering how easily it broke in and how well it's held up under A LOT of use. I just gave it a thorough cleaning/conditioning and re-laced the fingers during this short break before fall ball starts (she actually starts school ball practice tonight). We have been very pleased with this purchase and feel like Bradley is a great value and a solid piece of equipment for the youth player. Hope your DD loves hers as much as mine does.

That back shell leather looks nice on that Bradley!

I was actually just thinking of purchasing this glove for my 9yo. Her used Wilson a2000 is still just too much glove. Can't get the squeeze in it

I told you you couldn't go wrong with either AD'S or SG's recommendations Beautiful glove and they wear well also!

Here is what we had nearly pry off her hand. My wife bought this to play slow pitch, when she was pregnant with the 12yo. Looks like it went through world war 3 and 4, doesn’t have nearly as much ise as it looks
