The Zett glove is in. Fastest delivery of all 4 gloves ordered although no Embroidery done so that helped a bit.

Ordered on Feb. 11th and delivered on March 7th.
Just opened z few minutes ago. I have practice with the girls so I hope to get more pictures uploaded tonight when I get a minute.

I want to hear your impressions, how do you feel about it?

Is the hand stall really small like most Asian gloves?
I like the glove and it actually came out better than I thought. I'm trying to order some gloves with a variety of options but this one I wanted some classic colors or something I would use.
My DD loves it! She wants it pretty bad.
I haven't put my hand in it.

Starting with the Custom Bradley Glove. 12.50"
Premium U.S. Steer hide.
Ordered 2/11 and received 3/24.

The weight is 646 grams/1.424 Lbs. Lightest of the 4 custom gloves ordered.

The build quality is 5/5.
Out of the bag this glove is game ready. 5/5
Communication from Bradley:
Invoice and shipping info only. 1/5
Matched the glove builder. (Color/Design) 5/5
This glove for the money is #1 for all the gloves ordered to date.

More good:
Leather quality is similar to a high end purse.

What didn't I like or concerns:
The laces are on the smaller side. For Baseball no problem but for Softball I'd consider replacing w/thicker laces or do routine checks to monitor them.
Leather is so refined and soft I don't know how well it will hold up.

Great value and great glove. Impressive.

257.00 including shipping.

Custom Zett glove: 12.75 wide pocket, "H web"
Japanese Steerhide
Ordered 2/11, received 3/7.
Quickest turn time of all the gloves ordered.
I had listed the Bradley as the lightest but this barely beat it.
636.6 grams / 1.426 Lbs.

Build quality: 5/5
Out of the bag readiness: 4/5 glove needs some break in. Took just a few minutes of catch to get this ready for practice play. Would take more time to make this a play maker. No snow cones yet.
Communication: 1/5
Invoice and Post office pickup.

Matched Online Glove builder: Had an idea of how it should look but the colors and look online are fairly basic. Hard to see the options and colors together. 4/5

Value: A little pricey but considering the build you normally get what you pay for. 4/5

Overall Quality:
Great quality. Very nice glove. Definitely recommend if you need a great glove with tons of web design's and unique asian flair.

More good:
The materials on the inside of this glove are great. Nothing noticeable just soft beautiful feel.
Precision stitching!

What I didn't like or concerns;

I'd opt for and extra .500" for finger stall length.
Normal people or larger children will be fine as is.
Higher cost.

$374.99
