Glove Deals?

[ANNASDAD]

I ordered one from there over the phone after an @ANNASDAD field trip uncovered some good deals..worked out well.

Bet you’re still crying about spending that money!

I don't mind spending money on good gloves for the kids. Bats I have a harder time with since they go through them like toilet paper and well a glove me is a waste of time...my range is shot and every time I hit I get a cramp is my rear.

I will probably be hitting you up for suggestions for my 6 YO son in a few years..

Think I’m going to the Myrtle Beach Rawlings outlet tomorrow? Any preorders? Any interest in anything particular?

I’m going to see if there’s any Horween or Spring Trainers available, which I’m doubting! I’ll post anything interesting.

How can I find out what they have to place an order?

What do you know about the rawlings R9 glove......I am worried since the price is soooo inexpensive as compared to other gloves

Well, they are soft and game ready, that’s really all I need to know! The only thing going for them is of course price, and they do come in some of Rawlings famous patterns & sizes.

What age is your DD, what position, and what size glove you looking at???

You really can’t, other than just walking into the outlet, I don’t think their inventory is posted on a site?

Best scenario, know exactly what you want (model, series, size) and call them to see if they have one and see how much it’s discounted. I really didn’t see any worthwhile deals yesterday other than that $159.00 NP5 that I posted.

The young lady is a new 12 year old turned last week. She plays outfield we are teaching her center so I am looking at a 12.5

If I'm reading this right, the young lady is new to softball and/or tournament ball?

This might not be popular, but I would go with an R9 or 1 step up to a Liberty. My DD is 2nd yr 12U and she has been playing with a LA for almost 3 years now. In the next year or so, I will be looking to get her that next level/last a long time glove, but the little lower level glove isn't always a bad thing. Get her in a decent glove that she can use now with the knowledge that she will probably need a new glove 2 years and start saving now. A LA will get you a solid 2 yrs.

Yes and thanks

She super fast and has crazy lateral motion......it only took us two practices to get her throwing hard with decent form. And she got under and caught a hard hit pop fly.....allot of promise, but brand new to softball period.

Thanks for the advice.....I am going to follow it.

I agree with R9 suggestion for someone new.
