I have not! Was on a trip to see older dd#1 last few days, I really want dd#2 to be 100% behind what we order. I should have done this before they both started games/practice. The grind has started!

Hey Westwind, just ran across this, 1721 shows to be a new infield model. Looks a lot like a 12” DW5. Didn’t check any further to see if it’s also offered in a A2000 as well as a A2K. Anyway, wanted you to see it.

Thanks man! We ordered a custom A2000 last week. Did the DW5, It was fun to watch her play with the choices on the computer.

My only worry is we picked pro stiff. Might be next year before it was useable.

Awesome, can’t wait to see it. What color and what’s the turnaround time? Hopefully you’re around the first time she puts her hand inside that glove so you can see the expression on her face!

Anna’s first custom Vinci was first year 12U, she opened in on Christmas morning, I clearly remember her putting it on her hand and saying “thank you dad, it’s beautiful.......what am I supposed to do with it??” It was a brick for a 22 year old, much less a 12 year old.

New gloves are truly too beautiful to use, lol!

I wish I would have screen shot it. Her hs and tb both are red and black so she went with a black shell and red web, nothing crazy. Honestly I don’t think it will look all that “custom”. I think she wanted white stitching- seemed like she had trouble with that but I don’t remember. I thought red stitching on the black leather would look super but she hated it. I totally stayed out of it, I really wanted it to be completely hers.

This all started last summer- a player on her summer team got a custom A2000 and it did look really nice. Hers wa blue and red... really looked awesome.

Never been quite the fan of red stitching, although I know it'll look better with black leather. Leatherhead uses red stitching on their tan gloves. I couldn't imagine ordering a custom Rawlings without Vegas gold stitching, that'd be borderline unAmerican!! This past Fall, I broke in a Superskin model 1799 A2000 for one of our outfielders, it was black with red stitching and looked sharp!

These threads have got me looking and f****** s***, Rawlings doesn't do a custom in anything bigger than 13"

I was all ready to do one fancy azz, nice glove...haha
