Glove Recomendations

[AmyLynn05]

Any recommendations for a good pitchers glove or things to look for/think about when purchasing? My daughter says hers is too floppy and needs a new one. She's a first year 12 player.

Would like to stay under $100.

In both baseball and softball, it's common for players to put two fingers inside their glove's pinky stall. This is done for numerous reasons, including making a larger, deeper pocket, and to make the glove feel longer by avoiding impact on the index finger. This grip style traditionally leaves...

At your price point, the Mizuno MVP series and Vinci Fortus series are solid choices.

I would ensure the webbing covers her grips on the ball.

I have not seen feedback on this glove(Palmetto), but it seems lots of people here are happy with the big sister version Magnolia.

Is the glove just for pitching or is she going to wear it where ever she plays?

If her glove is floppy, have it relaced. The laces give a glove a skeletal structure. Gloves come to me all the time as floppy pancakes and people are shocked to see what a proper relacing does for the glove. Also, palm adhesive will keep the glove regain its form. Palm adhesive is a substance placed between the two layers of leather in the palm of the glove. Its a glue like substance with some give in it, so its not a permanent bond but can make the two layers of leather give each other structure.

Even if.you were to buy a new glove, a proper relace of her current glove is something Id recommended so she will have a back up or can have something shes comfortable with while she breaks in her old glove.

Here are a couple photos of gloves I relaced yesterday, went from floppy pancakes to shaped like new.

How much difference does the initial quality of the glove make for relacing? I suspect the result of relacing a low-end Mizuno isn't going to get you the same kind of improvement as you get with a high-quality A2000.

Do you have experience with that glove? I bought one and so did 2 other girls on our team and there is a big palm pad inside of it that isn’t leather. It was like an ejector mitt - ball never stayed in it due to that pad. Other 2 girls had the same experience. It’s a shame because it’s a nice glove at a good price too.
