Got a Mizuno mvp prime as a birthday gift when I was 12 love it it was the first glove I got after I learned how to properly care for a glove gamed it for middle school and summer ball until sophomore year and still have and love it. Still holds for shape for the most part other than I got to the point I didn’t care for it like I used to. Definitely would recommend one for anyone

The r-9 was a glove that I used all through youth, this year (13u/aaa) I got an autism speaks a2000 11.5 after the web of my r-9 broke. Great glove for youth but usually wears out after around 5 years. Love the videos, keep up the work. 👍

I run a 12.5 A1000 H web for slowpitch softball. big bang for ur buck glove. I recommend to anyone who wants to upgrade from their dads crusty walnut glove from the 90s😅

I just got a 12.75 sandlot 2022 series and its actually really good for the price. Nice looking, confy and do the job perfectly to play catch. I didnt have the urge to buy an a2000 for that

The video we have been all waiting for

I decided to get the R9 for my double duty glove. I went with a 12.75 3029 pattern so I could use it for slow pitch, and still feel comfortable enough to practice with my son who started tee ball. I had a miken glove for slow pitch and it swallowed up baseballs and just felt awkward. As far as the R9 goes, I had to tighten the up the laces for the fingers. After the break in I ended up pulling 4 inches of lace out because of how much they stretched. I haven’t had any balls go through the web, probably because it’s an h pattern. I almost had a baseball go through the middle and pointer finger though. Rawlings laced it up way too loose for the get go. I’m super happy for the money though. Back in school I always had a heart of the hide glove, but the R9 is great on a budget.

my sons team won a marucci tournament and got a $250 voucher to get custom gloves. So he got a custom oxbow with the 2 in the pinky custom insert and his broke in great (thanks to your videos) and has a great pocket but most of the other kids on the team have pancakes now... but he takes care of his glove a lot better then most 7-8 year olds. I have tightened his laces up a few times in the last year.

Let’s goo!!! The king never fails!!

i got an a1000 last year during baseball season, it broke in fairley easily and im still using it while im breaking my a2000 in, but i will say it is an reliable glove. I haven’t experienced any cuts in the glove, im always diving and making plays at shortstop and ive never really dropped a ball. Probably one of my favorite gloves behind the heart of the hide and a2000

I had an R9 I freakin loved it. Now i have a heart of the hide and I love it too. When I got my R9 it cost 100 bucks but for the price the R9 is the goat.

I used the MVP Prime 12" for slowpitch mens league. It was fine for outfield, but def got beat up at 1st base. Multiple balls that hit the pocket popped out or bent it back so far they came out. Great reviews of each glove, as usual.

what gloves do u recommend for slow pitch, im looking for like a 12-12 1/2” and im usually playing first or third

I got an infield Gamer XLE that I adore. Great quality if you can find one at a good price.

Last year, I purchased both the R9 and the Encore. Both felt ok for my son but I couldn’t stand the fabric lined fingers. Ended up returning both and got the Gamer XLE. It’s perfect for my son and it has leather lined fingers. Great glove for kids up until high school.

I got a A1000 it’s been fairly my favorite glove for adult softball and Baseball practice for the last 2-3 years and seeing this made me want to get a Rawlings XLE 😅

I have a r9-314 and love it, I relaced it in purple and no stretchy problems with the ball coming through

I got my son turning 12 in January the rawlings encore 1st base and pitching gloves. Hasn't used them yet because I got them for part of Christmas gift. But I got them 89 bucks each. So hopefully he likes them

love you vids keep it up

Let’s see some reviews of the Mizuno Pro Series offerings with deep pockets! I would love to see a comparison between Mizuno’s Pro Series and their Pro Limiteds as well. Love your content, keep up the great work. You are a talented dude!

I think the Easton Flagship woulda been a good Edition to this as well.

It’s a great day when you upload

THANK YOU!

I recently got to check out some samples of some unreleased a1000s apparently they’re now being made in the same factory as a2000s and will come with a2000 lace I’m so excited for them to release so I can buy one since it’s such an improvement from the current product I just hope they don’t hike the price up

My kids are 11 and 14, and have to say there are huge differences in the style of glove that are wanted /needed as they grow. Until a kid is strong enough to throw hard and squeeze stiff leather (12-14) there is little value to more expensive gloves. Unfortunately, the cheaper softer gloves don't hold their shape and perform for as long.

My 2 favorite brands are Rawlings and akadema they have some great gloves but their prosoft and below are not the best but the prosoft elite is not bad and their Precision series and Torino series are awesome

This black and blue ssk needs to be on that list

I got a Mizuno Pro Select for the price of an MVP Prime at Dicks this weekend - very excited to play with it for the first time this weekend! Great video helped me make a good decision!

Great video… Maybe a video on lower end youth gloves… Rawlings renegade, select pro lite.etc

Got my kid the 11.75 R9 with the H web. He loves it.

Love my R9, 11.75”!

Wow I might buy that

I made my first 44 pro glove after the glove you shot with an ar

You can get the Gamer XLE customized for $250 from Rawlings. Not a bad deal considering.

I love binging all of your shorts!!!!!❤

Rawlings has some good gloves for cheap like some of the select series gloves

I got the Rawlings encore from academy. It’s broken in nicely and I love it.

You should do a catchers mitt and first base mitt list

Thanks for the videos. I really enjoy them. I play softball and recently purchased an Easton Professional dual post 13" glove. This is my first new glove purchase since the early 80's. So far I am not in love with the glove but it still needs breaking in. One thing I did notice was the finger and web lacing. Not a fan of the coated leather lacing that is very stiff. I actually relaced the fingers and top of web with 3/8" alm leather. Just has a better feel for me.

Way to change it up if you didn’t love it! That’s a solid glove though so stick to it with the break in and I think you’ll come to love it!

Love you so much bro

Bro I just got a Wilson A1000 outfield glove and it came game ready for two in the pinky ofc. Perfect pocket and shape just had to flair it. Glad it made the list bro shits clutch. Got the a2000 for infield ofc but I wasn’t about to spend 300+ again lol. Definitely recommend

Mizuno prime, i believe is for fast pitch softball players. Designed for smaller female hands.

Awesome video. Forwarding this to a few folks in this market.

You should do a SSK glove review!

Hey man really like the videos. Can you do a video on the differences between all the sub models of gloves. Like the 1786 v 1787v dp15 etc. and then another vid on all the Rawlings sub models. Might be way too much to cover but thought it be a cool idea for you.

Nice to see taking live fungos again! We're you at the just justgloves warehouse picking the gloves? Great Vid!

Been out of baseball for years, but got an r9 12" to help my nephews. Broke it in with an 8lb dumbell and immediately fell back in love.

2:51 this part of the video is so funny I keep replaying it 😂

This is the vid I’ve been waiting for!

Akadema and Wilson always have bad laces, but you change the laces.

My son is 9 and he uses the R9, and it is almost perfect, the only problem we've had is that he has small hands because he's 9 so I had to make new holes to get a little bit tighter fit around the bottom of his palm.

try the ssk z9 and the mizuno pro select

Kids should get HOH/A2000 level gloves once they hit 14u baseball. “Youth” gloves aren’t going to cut uy

Need to get your hands on a Bradley.

Rawlings got such good laces that all their cheap gloves are still decent, but Mizuno still has really good lower quality leather

I have the Willson a2000 but a different model

Got a question for you my daughter is a senior in high school. She is wanting to buy a custom 44. I am curious on which pattern should she buy? She plays shortstop any help would be greatly appreciated thanks again brother keep up with the videos

Solid video🤙

Try the A950 modified trap

@ball glove king do you use any softball gloves? Any thoughts on the miken pro select?

You should do Wilson a950

You gotta try a custom gamer xle from Rawlings

W Collab

Let’s gooooo!!

Can you please do a review on the 1975 Wilson A2000

Please do this for fastpitch

BGK - ALWAYS appreciate the content... I am seeing a different (new?) colorway on the Gamer XLE... the model number is GXLESP13BRCF and it's black and red... the GXLESP13BSS in silver and black is still out there. Any input on these? Is the BRCF model ONLY a different color - did they keep all of the things that made the Gamer XLE so great?? The speedshell texture, at least, looks to be different. Looks like they have it in a 11.5, 11.75, and catchers mitt. We're looking to try the catchers mitt vs the R9... this mitt will be for a middle schooler - used as an interim between the renegade series (used for last two years) and a full blown adult mitt. Did Rawlings listen to you, or did they make other changes? Thanks!!!!

Would a rubber mallet work to break in a glove or should I buy the wood glove mallet?

You should do a 44 vs xle

@ballgloveking my 8 year old kid called me upstairs yesterday and broke down the missed caught Homerun in the OH vs CA LLWS game. 8 years old breaking down the play rewinding and fast forwarding in slow motion, and all. He’s convinced that kid would have made the catch if he would have had the right web choice on his glove. He said the CF wears a regular basket pitchers web, he’s convinced with an open web that’s broken in that ball would not have rolled out of the web of the glove. I concur, but the kid is really convincing in person. If you get a chance to see that play lmk of you agree with your young fan.

Hey! You should do a XLE compared to the Heart of the Hide! 👀👀👀

Try the 100 bucks Wilson a950 the gold one from dicks 11.75. I’m a main first baseman but I needed a glove for other infield/outfield things occasionally and it’s actually pretty good. I do 2 in the pinkie

can you do a review on rico gloves?

I use a 12.75" a1000 as my coaching glove

Could you review Rawlings sandlot

These were all infield gloves. For an outfield or pitcher glove, would these same brand/series translate?

Im a grown man that plays in a "fast pitch" league, as to where pitches are only at 80mph, and liners aren't coming at you like in legion or college😂, we old, baby! But my A1000 has held up great after 2 seasons, and that includes magnanimous amounts of catch as well. I would love an a2k, but the A1000 is still doing me fine, so I'm not going there yet.

what do you think of grace gloves

Every single affordable Marucci that I have tried has had no adjustable thumb loops (personal con), and they've just felt, weird.

Which one do you recommend, 44 ex10 or a2000
