    All-Star CMW-3001 - best price?

    Jumping into this thread :) My name is Johanna, and I am the Director of Fastpitch here at All-Star Sporting Goods. Your assumption is quite correct in that the reason our baseball mitts are $300+ is that we are primarily known as a baseball brand - especially as it relates to mitts/gloves...

    You're welcome; I'm happy to do it! Product names and lines are constantly changing, and it's hard to figure out what features have changed and what upgrades have been made, so I sympathize with you there. I am glad to hear that your daughters have been using both our catcher's mitt and...

    10U Catcher's mitt - recommendations

    Hi there! The biggest deal that we dropped this holiday weekend is that all of our fielding gloves are now $120 (regularly $140) with a 6-month #glovelove guarantee. In other words, a player can use it, break it in, beat up on it, and if they don't love it, they can return it to us - free of...

    12U Catchers Mitt Recommendations

    For future reference: All of All-Star's fastpitch mitts are intentionally made with a smaller palm size as compared to our baseball mitts. I typically recommend our ProFastpitch 33.5" (CMW2511) to players below high school age and our AF-Elite 33.5" (CMW3001) to players at or above high school...

    All-star mvp2510 chin pad

    For sure! I understand what you're getting at between absorbing vs. "rolling off". I do think that she will find that deerskin pad does not absorb the sweat, but I will be curious if she is okay with the feeling of the deerskin, especially when it might be moist due to the sweat. Either way...

    All-star mvp2510 chin pad

    Hi there! My name is Jo, and I work in the Fastpitch Division at All-Star. Over the years, we haven't had too many issues with the MVP chin pad, but everyone's skin reacts a little bit differently. I'd love to hear more about what is bothering her, and I'd be happy to brainstorm a few ways to...
