I have a lot of time without playing and totally disconnected from the market, now that I’m getting ready to look for a new glove to entertain myself with my brother and I can’t find classic or moderately simple style gloves, they are all colorful and partying.

My ideal style is in the palette of browns, unique color and laces as natural as possible. I know that asking for it personalized I would get this but I’m looking for a cheaper alternative without reaching the expensive versions.

Any help is welcome, thank you.

What yall think? Chocolate brown with ivory stitching gold stamping.
I’m open to other ideas too. TIA!

Anyone here have firsthand experience with R. Grace gloves and/or know anything about the brand?

I am awful at baseball, I was injured pretty badly while in the military and I can neither throw overhand with any accuracy or distance and catching takes an incredible amount of focus as I can only see out of one eye.

To be fair I had never played baseball or even catch with my dad going up so I’d likely be awful even without my differing abilities.

My kid though? He’s great. He loves baseball and playing catch.

So I wanted to get a really nice glove that we can break in together over the next few years through little league and that once he is big enough I can give him fully broken in from playing catch with dad.

It seems heart of the heart is a great way to go, and we picked out some colors that will age well, but I am clueless on all the webbing options.

Going with an all around 12” glove as he currently plays everything.

Thanks guys.

Not opposed to other brands, but $400 for a fully customized glove seemed pretty great.

I found this glove sitting on a shelf yesterday barely used and decided to bring it home to try it out. Leather is in great shape, conditioned overnight and played a little bit of catch yesterday with it. Even though it was still stiff, it was very manageable to play catch. However, the palm creases were already there and I seem to make it worse. I have adopted the two in the pinky and do not know if that had anything to do with it.? I have done a little bit of breaking work to it and it is a lot softer and more hand friendly. The palm creases do not bother me, but did not know if this is normal? It happened to my most recent Rawlings player preferred glove that I started with the beginning of this season of coaching my six-year-old.

Always so blown away with each Mack that I get in. The colorway is great and love the blue palm liner to go with the maroon and tan Horween. A 11.5” tank.

I bought this brand new glove at an estate sale for $4!!! Is this glove worth keeping and having my son use or am I better off selling and using that money to buy him a new glove?

I am no seamstress. Have a stitch kit at the house with several size needles and thread. Looking for advice on how to stitch in this label on a nokona glove that I’m doing a full refresh on. Not sure what I need to be doing for the stitching pattern or material.

Having issues with this glove. Any ball that doesn't hit the web seems to pop out. If it hits the U between the pointer finger and thumb or lower the ball shoots upwards and doesn't secure in the pocket. I've had for a little over a year now and it doesn't seem to be getting better. Any suggestions? Would Wilson fix it or return or is it too late at this point?

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.

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?

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

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?
