As far as all the new crop of custom gloves popping up, look at Glovesworks. They absolutely blow 44 and Rico away, no comparison, not even in the same ballpark!

On their builder, select the Pro Steerhide!

I was going to recommend a 12.5” custom Rawlings Pro302 with a full Six-finger trap..........outfield perfection! Looks like Rawlings isn’t offering the Pro302 with a full trap anymore. :mad:

The 302 is a pattern similar to the Vinci RV1961, wide up top at the fingertips (thumb to pinky), somewhat narrow heel, and a very snug hand stall for an adult outfield pattern.

Rawlings does (of course) offer a custom Pro302 with a H-web, which the majority here like more anyway.

Gloves are very personal. If your going to invest that much make absolutely sure its what she wants/needs.
There's your best answer. Custom gloves that manufactures offer on their website are not true customs they're just called that because of webbing and color choices. They're stock models dressed up

It's certainly fun to customize colors, get your name and number stitched in, have colored laces...

Not sure if it ever gives the player the best glove though. I think you're downgrading a bit of performance, technology, quality for the custom design. And for most players, that's probably fine.

I have a killer bright red glove that says COACH DREW.
