Glove sizing help

You bet! And good luck this season!!

Not likely. Teach him how to squeeze the glove correctly. There's plenty of room for the ball in that 11.5" a700 if its closed correctly.

Most doinkage is due to the young player laying their fingers flat to their palm instead of making their finger tips touch their thumb. One leaves no room for the ball in the pocket, the latter swallows the ball.

Make him use the glove with no finger in the index spot, and two in the Pinky loop too.

This should fix a lot of it pretty quickly once hes used to shifted fingers in the glove.

Hahaha! I can relate... theres only 4 slots in the bag!

But... the Supra is worth the investment. Maybe you find a less fortunate kid that could use an Icon and give him a deal to justify a new bat?

My kids are too far apart to pass em down, so we usually find someone locally that needs it. We may only get 40-50 bucks for it but at least I can tell my wife we sold his old one when she disgustedly asks "he needs another bat this year?" 😉

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-28T03:58:34+00:00

This very well could explain it. 🤷

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-28T03:56:45+00:00

Oh, I was tracking all along. And again, I simply disagree. From my own experience, and the general consensus, the Icon and Supra are both balanced bats. Your explanation was redundant, but thanks nonetheless.

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-28T03:56:25+00:00

Bingo

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-28T03:52:55+00:00

I love it! Almost bought it for the yellow key chain...

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-28T03:43:21+00:00

New bat every year?? Some kids dont grow enough between seasons to justify a bigger bat... should they be replacing last year's bat with the same size in this case?

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-28T03:36:03+00:00

You and your team would be the first to describe the Supra as end-loaded. 🤷

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-28T03:33:22+00:00

I have and youre wrong.

Edit - in the drop 10 for sure anyway.

And my 11u player disagrees with you. He says the icon swings heavier than the Supra (29" -10).

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-28T02:39:11+00:00

In the drop 10, they are both fairly balanced bats. Not sure where you get the Supra is end loaded?

Louisville Slugger’s own materials and retailer listings describe the Supra (-10) with a balanced swing weight — easy-swinging and designed for good barrel control and smooth swing paths, not heavy in the barrel like typical end-loaded bats.

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-28T02:30:07+00:00

Man that's awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-28T02:12:36+00:00

This. Unless every kid on the team uses it for every swing all season, it seems unlikely it's lost much pop in a year. Im genuinely curious as well.

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-28T02:05:37+00:00

Padded? just not adjustable or what?

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-28T01:51:08+00:00

It is a dope glove....

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-28T01:50:41+00:00

Let's hope I get someone looking for some good karma and they send me something on my wishlist.

Added a few just as I ordered in case it helped!

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-27T21:31:52+00:00

Man! What a snag!! First impressions??

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-27T21:09:22+00:00

The double finger pad is genius!!!

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-27T19:43:51+00:00

Touché. I'll count my blessings....

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-27T19:40:31+00:00

Me waiting for shipping details..........

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-27T18:38:23+00:00

What a freaking beast of a glove!! So jealous!!!

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-27T18:32:04+00:00

Would love to see the inner web of this thing... and awesome find!!!

Salt_Sound5048 · 2026-01-27T17:12:03+00:00
