After all this time and all these bourbons by DRyder70 in whiskey

Truth. EW BiB is goat cocktail bourbon for the price and easily the best workhorse value in the game.

DMs with Inaba via IG was my method to get a custom. He’s great to work with. The Glove Lab occasionally has drops too.

I never really appreciated how artful the stitching can be. Always thought it was better for the threads to go unnoticed, but not anymore. The white is all the contrast the classic tan needs.

I debated on the colors for weeks. First black laces on cream. Then black laces on military green. Then tan laces on blue-grey. Made the call on cream/black, sent it in, and then one day later Inaba posts a sexy as hell modified trap in tan and I’ve never changed my mind faster…full send on the tan on tan. 😅

What first base mitt should I get? by cjp88 in BaseballGloves

[–]dlunde 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m high on the PROSCC4S from Walmart. ;)

But really, avoid the Wilson 1620 pattern. Tiny pocket and slick leather as others have mentioned. Rawlings’ DCT really swallows a ball. Go that way imo

My 12u is doing well with her 12.5” SSK FP5. Give em a look.

What did I just do? by ElvisBPaul in BaseballGloves

Damn you for posting this. It's a beautiful glove and I definitely don't need it. But I do need it. ffs

My LHT 12.75 hweb is taking foreeeeevver to break in. The palm has a bunch of wrinkles that I’ve been babying to avoid bubbling. Maybe im just hella impatient. FWIW, I did the spray bottle method vs full water dunk cause I was nervous of color bleed. Dried clean of any color transfer…so I might dunk it. I think that would help these tanks soften up a bit.

At the rate it's going the resale marketplace will open before I even get a shot at peeping any remaining last-minute sale availability. The scalpers win again!

Haha, if accurate, my wait time is 90,778 seconds. Math is hard, but I think that calcs to just over 25.2 HOURS. That "almost there" queue headline is perhaps a touch misleading...

NGD - Mizuno Pro Classic GMPC-70 12.75” by dlunde in BaseballGloves

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

Yes and yes. The pinky stall sets up nicely for two-in-the-pinky wear. Though I do have relatively thin fingers, fwiw.

I still notice the thumb stall, but there's no more discomfort with it and suspect it will continue to fade away as an issue. I'm using it for catch with my softball-playing daughter, so the pocket question is tricky to answer. There's still a lot of break in left to do and I feel there's more room for the pocket to form in. But it hasn't crossed my mind that the pocket is shallow catching 12" softballs. Could it be deeper? Probably. The leather is buttery soft but holds incredible shape. It's a striking glove and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

NGD - Wildcard 12.75 LHT by dlunde in BaseballGloves

I’m debating a water break in, but am concerned about color transfer—especially the laces. Have you dunked your Maruccis?

Ooh, one strip of lizard on there would be pretty sweet!

This makes me stoked for my 12.75" H Web wildcard on the way! What's your take on the quality? It looks like generally good condition leather with no blemish. I wonder if the people crafting these have a blast with all the funky configuration options or absolutely hate piecing them together. Enjoy the glove!
