The price is right for a $180 glove. We have the Stealth Pro 12.75 fielders glove. Previous years model and it’s a quality glove but has much less padding than LA 13” glove. I gotta assume they probably skimped on the padding with the catchers mitt as well.

DD throws low 60's especially at practice.

The Liberty Advanced is the way to go. For an extra $20 that is nothing. If you have Amazon Prime you can get it for $128 w/ free shipping and have it tomorrow :cool:

Another vote for the Liberty Advanced. I got the one in white with red lacing and navy webbing. Haven't caught 60mph with it yet, but looking forward to it!

I also got if for around $120, and was looking for single-hinged, which offers better thumb protection, which was a must for me. The Easton above, while apparently an awesome price if the $170 retail is accurate, looks like it's double-hinged. However, I'm sure there are plenty on the board who have used a double-hinged and never had an issue with it.

Single hinged heel is a great point, it was THE main reason I loved my All-Star CMW3000 so much! But for $89, I could easily like and make that Easton work with no problem.

And Don Morton's always has the 10% off coupon going which puts this mitt at $122.00.

And the 34" would be $126. Shipping would be $10 on the Easton, can't find a coupon. So for $26 is the single hinge Liberty Advance a huge upgrade? Don't know if I'm good enough for a white glove;).
