I have nothing other than under 12” sorry. With regards to material things for me, anything somebody gives me so I don’t waste my time getting it myself is my favorite 😂 I haven’t bought clothes for myself in probably 30 years 😒

The Vinci RV1961-L has been very good for DD in Center. Not to sound like a broken record with the Vinci recommendations...haha Oh yeah, better laces in it would be nice.

With girls going to the TIP (Two in the pinkie), would it make sense to have some extra material also on the middle finger?
You mean to make the middle finger slot smaller/tighter around the index finger?

I’ve never personally had a Carpenter or Marucci C-MOD glove in my hands before......wonder if they address what you’re talking about?

So you’re talking about the finger pad, sorry. You can specify that on a custom like on the Rawlings builder, but I don’t really see that happening except from manufacturers who build a TIP specific glove like the Marucci C-MOD.

I know Rawlings did build some retail finger shift models, but if I remember right most were gigantic slow pitch gloves, not sure if they had the finger pad sewn on the middle finger or not?

Now that I think about it, Rawlings did build a Pro206 FS model for pitchers......I think it was a 206? I was honestly never that interested in them, guess that’s why I’m not so sure about them.

I’d like to see Rawlings put out a nice retail version of the Pro302 with a H-web, it’s the only real Rawlings that’s similar to the RV1961. Very snug hand stall and fans out really wide up top!

On the builder the Pro302 comes in 12.5” and 12.75”. Id like to see Rawlings put out a full 12.5” version of this model and target it towards fastpitch!

Okay, if not an All-Star, a Mizuno Pro-Select in a 12.25" H-web would be ideal for the glove I'm talking about, of course without the mid-finger lacing like pictured here with this 12.75" model. These are excellent gloves!
