I must have gotten lucky with the two A2000 gloves I've broken in...never really thought they were that bad.

I 100% agree on a 12.75" baseball glove.....but this particular LHT Six-Finger trap Easton!


This is a smoking deal on a fantastic glove!
I bought this glove! Quick heel break in, but the pocket takes some time, of course. That leather, though.....

In the meantime, I bought this for DD. Much cheaper for a fellow lefty..under 2 bills for an A2K isn't bad. It's not the quickest break in, but not bad if you beat it with extreme prejudice. And the ball just wants to stick in the pocket...feels like a great softball glove.

My daughter has always been an infielder so had an A2000 that was an 11.75". They moved her to outfield this year to get her on the field so I bought her a Wilson A1000 because there is a chance she moves back in next season. Only paid about 100 bucks for it and it is a nice glove. She broke it in pretty fast(I bought it less than a month ago) because I saw it on her hand this weekend down at the leadoff in Georgia.

I may be late but try a claim in your homeowners insurance for the stolen equipment. Many policies will give you coverage on possessions stolen "away from the premises."

So - just coming back to comment on this. DD was able to borrow a glove for a couple weeks and I found a great deal on a new A2000 (one perk of being a lefty! Haha). DD has gone to the gym and caught 400-500 balls off the pitching machine everyday for about 10 days. She has also been beating the heck out of it on the bus rides and when she has down time (haha - she's studying engineering so there's not a lot of down time) but she actually played with it this weekend and had no problems! She said she feels like it's perfectly broken in - so yeah - it can be done with persistence and dedication! Haha!

Im sure the bus ride passenger next to her enjoyed it :D

You are right, if you are a lefty, you can get some killer deals on gloves. Lefty gloves have a tendency to sit around a long time, so its
a great perk
