I really like the Liberty. The first ones that came out had a really thick palm and it took a while to break in(not sure if that has changed). I left it on top of the car at a tournament and bye bye. Since dd only had a year til graduation I picked up a Mizuno from Academy for 50-60 bucks and actually liked it pretty well. It would probably only be good for a couple of three years, not near the quality of higher end gloves.
