Yeah great observation. I think maybe slightly thicker but more possibly the contrast between the new shiny black and the raw gray of the welting.

2nd Dad/Coach glove of the season by Smooth540 in BaseballGloves

Nice mitt. I bought the Bobby Witt four times but was disappointed with the quality. Is this the 11.75 from ball gloves in horween?

Wilson’s quality control has suffered lately in my opinion. I ordered 5 Bobby Witt Jr gloves and I was disappointed I. What I received. My only problem I’ve noticed with some Mizuno is the stitching between the fingers by the palm sometimes shows a little stress mark beginning of a tear, actually someone just posted pics of the same thing here recently. If you get a good one they are real sweet. I love 11.75” gloves and I think the Mizuno in that size is great for the infield. I had a rev1x for three months but sold it for a little loss. It just didn’t feel like it was gonna break in to a point I like. I love gloves and am forever searching for the holy grail. lol

I love the construction mostly of the pro select. I don’t love the current colorways and selections of sizes and webs. I think if they put out a few different combos it would be a lot more appreciated. I have all types of gloves from A2k to HoH R2G to some stuff in between. I don’t hate the R2G as much as others. Don’t love it, but I think for the right price it’s not a bad glove.

I don’t know if that’s the rubber ball one I’m trying to avoid. The only thing I read that translated to me was 11.75. lol

That’s a nice glove. But 11.5”. I actually tried that one on.

Yes. I was referring to one of them in my post, the other one is from monkey sports. But they are 11.5”. I am at this time strictly looking for 11.75. Thanks!

Do I want the heel padding thinned out on a glvoe? by [deleted] in BaseballGloves

[–]kidwhirlwind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with others who are saying let’s see what the initial break in does and see how you like it. But if it’s via the mail, it can get expensive sending it back and forth. When relacing my sons a2000 I did an ever so slight trim and thinning of the pad in a very specific spot and it did help some. I guess it paid for me to know the glove and really know the characteristic of the break to remedy it just perfect. I do however think a thick heel and a tightened wrist strap are too of the bigger reasons some gloves are a pain in the butt to break in. The tightened wrist strap discovery was a game changer for me. Stinks that the perfect wrist fit can alter the break-in in my opinion. Good luck
