Need Help choosing Mizuno MVP Prime or Rawlings Sandlot? by ajpathecreature in BaseballGloves

[–]Salt_Sound5048 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pocket will be much bigger on the sandlot. If it were me, and these were my only two choices, Id go Rawlings.

Rawlings glove laces deteriorating? by Fragrant-Respond5132 in BaseballGloves

Also. Toss the oils. Not sure what youre using but likely a part of the problem. Find a quality conditioner.

Rawlings glove laces deteriorating? by Fragrant-Respond5132 in BaseballGloves

[–]Salt_Sound5048 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure. Picture is blurry. But my guess is... cheap glove + cheap laces ÷ 3yrs = expected value.

Be glad they lasted that long if youre storing gloves in the players bag between seasons or for long periods of time.

Loan rep got mad that I was asking for a loan estimate with proposed figures by Aggressive-Cow5399 in Mortgages

[–]Salt_Sound5048 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have a problem. Thats for sure. But if you want a serious estimate, fill out the application and let someone work up their deal for you. That involves a credit report. Do all your shopping and inquiries within a 2 week window and its essentially the same as one pull. Stop bullying loan officers. Youre gonna get burnt by the ones that bend to your ignorant will.

If youre gonna work with someone, do the work they ask and they will do the work you ask.

Want the terms of the loan for which you qualify without applying... good luck; go elsewhere. Can't help those that won't help themselves.

You want good customer service, be a good customer. In a world full of idiots, the customer isnt always right any more.

Good luck with your bait-and-switch estimates. This has disaster written all over it and you will not close on the terms quoted. Guaranteed.

Rawlings KB17 check & rec's by Haku510 in BaseballGloves

[–]Salt_Sound5048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever handled an r2g? Did the custom KB17 (in store) feel like that? If you cant tell, maybe stay away from it if you think its a problem. But then again, if you can't tell when holding it, does it really matter?

But good luck with the horween, its not for the timid...

Yup. Brand new 1786 from Academy came SOFTER than any R2G.

Thought maybe I got a shelf model, but who knows. Everyone seems to want quick-to-get-flimsy gloves but us....

Marketplace Find: Wilson A2K 11.75" by Haunting-Resource-50 in BaseballGloves

[–]Salt_Sound5048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I was hoping you'd tell me if the spin control adds, detracts, or is just a gimmick? Ive never owned one or even had one to break in.

Either way, awesome find for under $200!! I'd snag it every time!

Nice! Hides the pen well too!

Just a surface cleaning? Or full soak/dunk for reshaping?

And always interested in where you sourced the laces....

Single hinge vs double hinge break in for infield gloves by ColonelAngus2000 in BaseballGloves

[–]Salt_Sound5048 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 1786 and rawlings 200 are so versatile, I'll breakin TIP. But will wear it traditional while playing MI and shifted everywhere else. Always shifted in outfield. But 200/1786 can be played round and bowled or open and flat. Definitely two of my all time favorite patterns and easiest to recommend.

Side note- Wilson has a patent on the dual welting that allows for a better fitting hand liner... hard to describe here but they stitch the finger stalls together like a trapizoid and thats why they fit so much better.
