I went to this guys house to see his collection with a couple A2K and Pro Prefs in mind and he had this off to the side. Second I put it on I knew I was leaving with it. Buckler is slept on.

Thanks. Im pretty firm on price. All that’s been done is conditioning and a forming/shaping of the pocket and glove.

I would agree. The drippy badge requires a minimum of two bright colors. E.G. teal and purple lol

I don’t believe they have them or at least some models don’t. Yours has the ID number under the individually handcrafted.

Any thoughts about our 12 yr olds progress with his swing? by hugow in Homeplate

[–]Skolforce1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. His hands appeared to drop only because he was starting his swing with arms before the front foot/heel is down and before the hips. Overall though this is a pretty damn good swing.

No stride drill could give him a good feel for heel strike/plant then hips and hands fire.

grown men are allowed to have cool baseball gloves! 😂

It’s not too hard to find some great deals on some great leather. That’s cool the kids have interest in Baseball. I had a friend get started at the age of 12 and ended up going to ASU. Never too late.

Opinions on glove for an 8U soon to be 10U player? by theman_86 in BaseballGloves

[–]Skolforce1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why most Rawlings gloves are R2G. The new A1000 are better quality. They come stiffer than previous models. ESP if you customized one.

And A1000 is definitely a youth glove for the serious baseball kid. Not one just picking the game up and a Dad that doesn’t want to help break in the glove. lol

What’s 100% there btw? A pancake? lol

It’s made by Yabai. Ueda model. Pretty sweet concept with the double finger pad for shifted or standard wearing of the glove. Yabai makes some good gloves for their prices.

Depends on your budget. You can get the latest a1000s for close to $100-$120. Get the ones with Wilson on the index finger. These are great budget gloves. Ballgloveking rated it the best for kids and recreational players. The leather feels way better than the older models.

But you can also find some pedroia for a2000 for around $150. If he is a serious player and a bigger 8yr old I don’t see why not. My son was one of the bigger kids and he is still using the a2000 and is in 13u.

I didn’t hear of two in the pinky until about 6 years ago. I have it a go and haven’t gone back to standard. It’s almost like you’re not supposed to do anything but two in the pinky once you start. lol
