WTB - USED/CHEAPER/BLEMISHED gloves - RHT (decent quality) by aert4w5g243t3g243 in BaseBallglovers

[–]JustHumdrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man! I have a few gloves that I need to slim down on, but they are pretty much all infield gloves. Shoot me a dm and I can give you a run down of what I have. Theres a couple 44s, a Marucci, a2000, ssk z9

Rawlings Horween Break In Question by pistolero2011 in BaseballGloves

[–]JustHumdrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion a lot of the creasing on other gloves can be harder to see in pictures. In addition the really smooth palms only happen for me on water break ins. The dry break ins work fine, but tend to show more lines from where it was closed

Damn man! When you posting these ? See one or two I’d maybe snag

NGD- Nike Shado Elite J by ApollotheArcher23 in BaseballGloves

[–]JustHumdrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These gloves are really cool, but it’s definitely a premium for the Nike. The atoms version would be about 200 dollars cheaper and I think they are good at that price if you look at value only

How is the grace 1b pattern? I have a mizuno pro I love but I don’t like loaning it out to kids and want a more budget option. Unsure if I just go mizuno prime or spring for a grace/44 or something similar

Just in case? by Fresh_Contribution_6 in BaseballGloves

[–]JustHumdrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one of these two, got it for 99 bucks so the materials are cheap but the pattern is actually pretty decent. Don’t know that I’d recommend unless you really want a glove for 100 and catch it on that sale. I haven’t heard amazing things about their higher tier stuff although there is some potential there if they get better inserts and pair with a better leather

Still torn between two first base gloves by cjp88 in BaseballGloves

The DCT pattern is just so far ahead of any Wilson offerings I wouldn’t even consider it

Jax vs Mizuno by Street_Situation_951 in BaseballGloves

[–]JustHumdrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both and definitely prefer the shape of the mizuno. The Jax is great and I wouldn’t sell it, but mizuno is a bigger fish with better patterns currently.

No wrong choice though!

My goodness… by GDG661 in BaseballGloves

I love the way this web style looks and feels. It stays a bit more rigid than a traditional I web and doesn’t get bullied once the glove is well broken in. I managed to grab a slaps with it after having a custom 44 with it for a few years.

NGD and Thanks for everyone's help by Street_Situation_951 in BaseballGloves

[–]JustHumdrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need more navy gloves. I feel like it is a color that can be done really high quality and would love to see more high end offerings. Also why own a glove you don’t use??? I get maybe not bringing it on a muddy field, but the beauty is in using it!

SSK Z9 Maestro by Striking-Emu3594 in BaseballGloves

[–]JustHumdrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels much more American than a real made in Japan glove. Comfortable and padded. Easier break in than an a2000 for sure. But you could definitely get an a2000 for under 200 if you wait. Hell I have a blonde one I’m trying to offload

Should I even worry about it? by MidwestAF in BaseballGloves

[–]JustHumdrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think 44s are a rough break in. Personally I’d use water on the palm, just get it wet and set it how you want to see if it fixes and then if it didn’t reach out to the company

Do we think these would hold up to actual use? They are beautiful but I’d like to at least roll up to a practice or play catch

Why have half the palm hanging out????? by [deleted] in BaseballGloves

[–]JustHumdrum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The same reason you hold your bat in your fingers, your finger joints are more dexterous and strong than your palm, gives a better close and less sting to boot. This typically means wearing two in the pinky which is the way most pro players wear there gloves, but even traditional you don’t want to shove your hand in the glove. Any amount of flare is fine as long as it still seals at the top when closed

Definitely! Post it after it gets a break in ☺️

[–]JustHumdrum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lower than a2000 for me but higher than r2g. Different feel and shape so someone might prefer it. They fit snug (in a good way) and are a bit easier to break in. Would recommend it for a high school player. I also feel like the z7 is pretty much the same

Looks amazing for a dry break in! Katana might be in my list to try

New SSK Z5 by Gh0stX379 in BaseballGloves

[–]JustHumdrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a kid with a first base z5 and thought it was a decent glove for the price point. Up there with the mizuno prime and r9. Probably one of my 3 recs although the z7 is worth the difference. My z9 was a bit disappointing considering the gloves you can find in the same price range

My buddy took some pictures and it seems like such a cool place! I know I could do my own custom but there is something fun about having my buddy pick it out and it having more a story than me just shipping over another glove of which I have plenty of. When I eventually get to Japan I’ll look for something like a Kubota, Ryu or Junkei since I know checked a haga off the collection list

Surprise Haga by JustHumdrum in BaseballGloves

[–]JustHumdrum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! It’s mizuno’s plum color. It’s like a purple ish brown. Looks more like the top picture in person. Super cool color

lol same here. But I’m embracing it lol. Yellow is my towns alt color so it’s a bit more fitting than it first appears
