New Glove for Dad

[ZBsdad]

I'm putting a new glove on my Christmas list. I haven't been that good this year but I'll give it a shot. I set a self imposed $200 limit for a good infielders glove that I can use when coaching and one that will last until my 11 year old goes off to college. I have been ogling the Nokonas and Insignias. What are you guys using or recommending?

I bought DD a Nokona. It was a really tough initial break in but it was worth it. Somebody absconded with my old glove so now I'm in the market as well. I haven't seen the new Insignias yet but I can tell you that the Nokona is an extremely high quality glove. That's what I'm looking at myself.

I am using a nokona bloodline. I love it. American made along with great craftsmanship. It took some effort to break in. I am looking at purchasing an akadema catchers mitt to catch for my daughter. If i had to replace my infield glove, I would look at the akadema patriot series(made in the usa).

Once you stop growing doesn't a glove last forever? I know I have had mine for 30 years, god I am getting old. $200 for something that will last the rest of your life seems cheap, bump your price up if you see something you like.

Also, look at Vinci. They are very good gloves from a very good company.

I just bought myself a closeout SSK from ballglovewarehouse. I guess you could buy 4 if you wanted to reach $200 ;-)
