How are the internal felts and hdpe plastic thumb and inserts on the marucci cypress, capital and magnolia series that you have re laces? Thx

The last Marucci I worked on had tears between holes and the leather seemed to be quite a bit thinner than the HOH or A2000 gloves that I seem to get in much more often for relaces. The felt seemed to be OK I dont recall a plastic insert in it, I know that when I looked the model up it was their high end glove but it was a bit older.
Marucci has recently teamed up with Scott Carpenter of Carpenter Trade and I can only imagine he has addressed that leather issue.

It was a pitchers model so that may be why it didn't have the plastic inserts.

Figured Dan would know better than lacing fingers backwards like that. He told me he gets those gloves from Asia unlaced and then he laces each one himself. Must be because it's a lefty and the top run didn't include a web spiral.
Top cross on finger tips should be going up and out towards pinky, doesn't really affect play, mostly just visual aesthetic

Those LHT traps belong to a guy at SBF, he restores a TON of gloves, I doubt Dan laced either of those? But I don’t know that for sure…

Dan laced a NP7 for me when I met him at one of his son’s camps, and I bought one of his Gloveworks gloves, the lace and lacing are as good as I’ve ever seen, he does phenomenal work!

Nope, Tigress are made in Indonesia, Rawlings are made in the Philippines.
Bradley and 44, not sure?

Yes you’re correct. Bradley and Tigress are same factory. Rawlings and 44 are same factory.

Go big or go home! Order her a custom Rawlings!

What size glove is she using now? What size are you looking at for her? My DD used a 12” glove at SS from 12U through college.

And I’d absolutely order a custom Gloveworks over the three you named!

Here is her current glove with a 12in ball. She does ok with it however I feel like it plays very small for a 12. Does it appear to be small to you?

Not really, just right off it looks about the size of a 12” Pro1000.

I personally believe a 12” glove is the sweet spot in fastpitch for SS and 2B. Some like smaller, some like larger, 12” has always worked for us.

If you want a “larger” 12” custom, check out a 12” Rawlings NP6, it’s a overall larger 12” glove than your normal 12” Pro1000 / Pro206 pattern.

How long is the build process on the Gloveworks customs?
