My DDs 1961 is also 2 years old, and looks identical to that one. I had Rous install a thumb stay that was about 1" longer than the one that was in there, which really stiffened up the thumb.

Also, when you re-lace the glove, run the mid-finger lacing all the way to the web side of the index finger, using the holes for the middle bar of the web. It will hold the fingers together better.

Thanks seamonkey, I have seen larger outfield gloves with mid-finger lacing laced that way. So what you buying now since you sold that Sherry 208? I'm all over the place on a custom......I've got the September NP7 ordered and common sense says I should just wait on it and see how much I like it first before I build a custom.......common sense:rolleyes:.

I picked up an a2000 version of your blacked-out pro1000, but what she really needs now is a 33" bat!

Not a DW5, it's the 2015 GG47 with a GS H-web. It's DD's 3B glove, she's all about the all-black gloves.

So this is the same GG47 with the red stitching and red welting you posted in Westwind's A2000 thread? So all blacked out is it's newest look after cosmetic surgery?

Heh, no, that one is the 2016 GG47. Wilson has made three retail versions of this glove.

Rous just shot me a couple of pics of my RV1961, I think he's shipping it out today. I told him not to worry about cleaning or conditioning it, I want to try my new bottle of Voodoo blend on it! I had him tie the mid-finger lace into the side of the web lace holes per. seamonkey's recommendation. I think I'll play around with this glove for a couple of months then I'm pretty sure it'll get gifted away to a kid in need.
