Very specific glove advice

Probably right at $300 unless it’s absolutely perfect.. those student loans won’t pay themselves

Maybe tie down an exact price with @LEsoftballdad on a custom HOH, y’all get that all figured out and I’ll help you with the build.

A custom HOH will definitely be way more than those discounted Mizuno’s but it’ll be your build that you’ll have well past college ball.

Like I said, you just started digging!

The other important question is when does @soozyQ really need/want it (unless I missed that)? If you can wait for the custom and design your dream that will last you well past college, cool! Otherwise, time to pare down to the gloves that will ship within days of ordering.

Oh, and I don’t mean I felt responsible in a bad way; I saw this avalanche coming a mile away. I was chumming the waters, if you will!

Well I have a little less than 9 weeks of season left for this year, so if I can get a stock glove game ready in half that (leaving time to get some good use out of it), that would be great! But if not, might as well go all out

Although it would be cool to see how much a difference it makes no matter how few days in season I have left

Did we discuss having her buy a slightly used one from any of us that have extras sitting around?

Yes

And when you design one, its yours. No turning back. No returning if you dont like

Game ready will be a challenge for any high-end glove. You need to dedicate a lot of time to getting it loose enough to play with, especially since you're currently using a pancake.

I think out of all the gloves posted and looked at, I'd probably go with the 11.75" I-web Mizuno. Looks like it went up $20 overnight? I'd actually call them and see if they can sell it for what it was listed at yesterday? Looks like a great glove!

Now if you're interested in a custom, disregard everything I just said!

Took the liberty to mock up this beauty! A 11.75” custom NP5 to kind of mimic that Black I-web Mizuno.

Was wondering if the OP would like my NP5PRO Spring Trainer? After two seconds I laughed at myself…of course she would!! My favorite pattern, heck probably my favorite glove! Getting impossible to find so I thought a custom would be the next best thing? You should really beat LE up on a custom deal!
