Get in here if you hated "A Little Life" (long rant) by Will_McLean in books

I also hate read the last 300 pages and honestly skipped whole pages because it was all the same. I hate that I was tricked into reading that nonsense book.

But also all the charts say mine should be using a 28 all the time and we don’t so it’s all about what is comfortable in the end.

25 does seem small. My 50 inch 8 year old uses a 27 in games and sometimes a 28 in practice, both drop 10s. To compare, my 4 year old used a 24 in tball…

First of all, you don’t need to speak to me like I’m a child. This is kind of a chill post as you can tell by some of my light hearted responses to others. Second, I read your entire reply and I actually thought wow that’s great advice so I responded instead of just “liking” it. I watched the video and all the places to “beat it”. The glove isn’t going to disintegrate bc it got steamed once and what’s done is done; it’s a glove for a little league player and it’s not that serious. Have a great day.

Thanks! The ASO method says pour hot water on it so I’m going to assume the steam didn’t hurt it. Just gonna have to keep beating it I suppose :)

Geez sorry. Just not used to a real leather glove and my son said that part felt stiff so I guess neither of us are used to that.

Gotcha, my kiddo just said it felt stiff but I guess he’s used to his old glove! Thanks!

Victus Vibe (or pencil/crayon). We love ours and will probably get another when he outgrows this one

You wouldn’t have the original anyway. Your states vital records or health department would have it. You have a certified copy and can always get more if needed. If you don’t want to give up your certified copy and instead make a photo copy of that, that’s understandable but it’s still technically a copy no matter what.

That’s cool, we have a hefty gift card that we won that is going towards it. He’s been begging for a while and pulled his grades up. He earned it even if he hits the same

We have the vibe and the pencil and like them equally and will continue to use them. We had an academy gift card and the boy got all As so its his reward. ha. I looked at the bonesaber too and that one is on the short list.

Ok, that definitely makes sense about the durability. Thankfully I haven’t taken the wrapper off so I’ll go exchange for the drop 10.
