Horrible Glove Even For The Money

Super tight and stiff. We took it home and withing the first catching session the faux leather coloring started wearing off in the palm. Not even going to try to keep breaking it in. Will try to return hopefully or just eat the $100 and throw in the trash. Great glove if you want to have your kid turned off immediatly to catching

Terrible Pocket

I bought this mitt last year and it is puffed up right inside of the thumbside of the pocket

Ok Mitt For A Situation

Good price, slow breaking in. Odd situation, as the user User is left handed, but wants to try catching. The right investment for what will most likely be a short term experiment. Would only recommend for a similar situation.

Quality Mitt

It is a well built quality mitt. Sharp looking and quality materials. However, is super stiff. I had it steamed, and I am working it for a week, and it is still not broken in. Do not buy it for a kid younger than 13 years old. It is on the big and heavy side. But for a bigger kid, it is a great mitt!
