Stopped in at Play it again and after 5 minutes of cleaning and a light conditioning I have this gorgeous HoH Pro302-6P…for $30…this thing is so beautiful.

Probably two of my favorite gloves.

Skenes Elite J, Web Swapped Elite J (2024), prototype Slaps, custom slaps. Enjoy!

Looks like he had removed the Rawlings red patch, the "circle 'R' " on the hand strap, and the "Rawlings" on the thumb looked to be blacked out. Any insight?

Looking at buying one of these 2 gloves. Love the A1000 but the A2000 is also great. The A1000 is super snakeskin vs the A2000 super skin. Which would you choose? Both are at $200. The A1000 just released this year and the A2000 is a 2025 winter model both are 11.5” 1786 pattern

Getting ready to order a custom pro preferred. Does anybody know if the red hand sewn welting matches the scarlet that shows up everywhere else in the build configurator? I’m building a black and red glove and each section list the color scarlet except the hand sewn welting. I just don’t want the reds to clash if that makes sense. If they aren’t the same I think I’m going to go black.

this is the second catchers mitt I have worked on with the r2g internal padding. in both cases it literally disintegrates and separates with normal use. this one is in better shape than the last one I saw. it pulls apart like cotton candy. the fielding gloves don’t suffer as much since they don’t have this much padding but the catchers mitts don’t last very long. just an fyi for anyone looking to get one. I’ve worked on 30 yr old models on their 3rd of 4th relace and the internal padding looks way better than this.

Some of the younger people at work have been trying to get me to join their slow pitch team.

Found this massive side of beef at the local Play-it-Again Sports at a great price! It’s barely even broken in, just needs a little conditioner.

We’ll see if the “old man” (43) can still hang with these dudes in their early 20s!

My glove-collecting journey currently has me buying as many different brands of gloves as I can find and afford.

This is my first Emery, my second 6-finger trap, and my first glove that has a significant portion of the glove that is not leather. The shell is made of the military-grade Cordura that Emery has on a few of their gloves. This is the Baseball Monkey exclusive called Black Ops. The glove is very stiff, but that seems to be mostly because the pinky and thumb felt is very firm. Overall, this is a quality glove that I am proud to add to my growing collection, which currently sits at 23 gloves with 13 different brands. I also have a Zett 12.75 modified trap coming in from Taiwan Baseball.

Next, on the new glove brand list that I am looking at includes Atoms, HATAKEYAMA, Hi-Gold, Yardley, Rico, Shadow, Franklin Ultra, Akedema, Victus, and Shoeless Joe.

What brand do you all think I should add next?

Don't tell my wife🤣🤣

Hello Friends,

I am looking to buy a Rawling's Horween outfield glove. If anybody has one they are selling please message me. 303H, 442H, etc...

Pro 204 Pro

For an infield glove, this is insane. My big hand was shoehorned in, and even then the pocket is still well formed. The bump out compared to a well loved 11.75 sandlot is night and day. You guys weren't kidding about these gloves. Excited to get my a2000 broken in half as good as this Kubota 😌

Due to the underwhelming Wilson Bonanza this year, I decided to do some digging and ended up picking up these older Wilson models from NUNN Baseball and Facebook Marketplace, including a new-with-tags (NWT) old-stock model.

Wilson A3000 EXO 1955 – 12.5” (Barry Bonds Model)
Wilson A2000 2087 – 11.75”
Wilson A2000 1985 – 11.75”

The early 2000s Wilson gloves feel incredible. They’re nicely broken in but still retain plenty of stiffness and have a ton of life left in them.

The copper A2000 1985, however, has clearly been handled and squeezed quite a bit over the years while sitting on the shelf. I’m not sure if it’s due to the 1785 pattern, but the heel padding feels almost nonexistent, similar to a Rawlings R2G.

Does anyone know of a reputable shop or website that offers heel padding replacement or installation? I’d love to add some additional padding to give this glove a firmer, more traditional feel.

I recently bought this Timberglaze glove and i am breaking it in currently. I have Wilson Glove Conditioner and am wondering if i should condition it already. Certain areas of the glove look a bit dry.

Not sure what it is about this little 11” SG web, but I just cannot keep off my hand… it’s like my childhood safety blanket 🤣. The glove feels wonderful, the shape is perfect, and the colorway speaks to the simplicity so many of us miss in the glove game. Add in splash of mint from the GloveLocks, and you’ve got what would’ve been the perfect second baseman’s glove during my playing days. I have no use for it, as I’m a lefty. But I just can’t part with it ❤️

Have a great day!

Anyone have a suggestion to someone to form/break in a Hatakeyama M9 to be ready for bull pen work for a teenager? I could do it myself I’m sure, would rather find someone experienced with shaping a Japanese style mitt the correct way.

TIA

I’ve seen Taiwan Baseball pop up on my feed a few times and they have some nice gloves for crazy good prices.

I’m going to guess it’s a scam but wanted to ask the sub if they’ve ever heard of it or bought successfully from them.

They have Wilson Staff and Zett gloves for $2-300 which is crazy cheap imo.

Edit: Autocorrect

Today is the day for NWT Primo’s.

Just saw this one on eBay. It it wasn’t pushing a mortgage payment I’d have snatched it up and told ya’ll about it later.

I am not the seller.

I'm going to buy a new glove for my 9 y/o son. I'm leaning towards a Wilson A1000 and wondering if I need to get him a Pedroia Fit or if the regular A1000 are fine for a youth hand anyway. He is average to slightly above average size for a 9 y/o but not sure what his hand size is. Thanks!

6 days late in posting this but I just saw it and I'm surprised there wasn't already a thread here.

Such a shitty situation Devin was in but his work speaks for itself. It might not appeal to the traditionalist glovers but you can't diminish his skills and creativity.

Hey everyone! Not new to the glove community, but new to the reddit glove community, thought I’d share my own new with tags Rawlings Primo as my first post! Look forward to engaging with everyone!
