Hey lancer, as far as buying / having a lacing needle, never hurts to always have one available along with several pieces of 3/16 & 1/4 lace, usually in just black & tan, that’ll cover most repair situations at tournaments.
Since her gloves wrist lap is already in it’s tightest setting, before you change anything, does she wear her glove two-in-the-pinky (TIP)?
Being an outfielder, wearing a glove TIP with her index finger inside the glove is the best method for several reasons.
First she can control her new / stiff glove better than wearing it traditional, it increases her hand strength to close her glove!
TIP increases the gloves pocket size, and keeping her index finger inside could keep her from breaking it in case she dives for a ball, slides, and rolls her hand over on the ground where it could grab her finger.
Trap web & TIP just go together perfectly, it’s she’s not wearing it that way, you should probably consider changing her now, I promise it’ll pay off and you may not need to re-lace the wrist.
