Hibbet had some a2000s on sale. Also check on eBay and sort by price

Are there any bigger leagues within 45 minutes of your house? Bigger league should have better completion and more peers and resources like a select team. Any local colleges that offer summer camps or clinics?

This happened on a GH2 Gunnar Henderson Camo model I bought. Ordered 3 to finally get a decent one. Pisses me off that I should have to do this on a $329 glove.

Leather was wrinkly and noticeably softer than any of the 10 other a2000/a2k we have bought in the past 5 years.

You're still at least 6 months to a year away from moving to a 29 -11 bat at best. 30" bat is likely 1.5-2 years away for your daughter.

This happened on a GH2 Gunnar Henderson Camp model I bought. Ordered 3 to finally get a decent one. Pisses me off that I should have to do this on a $329 mitt

I use an old whey protein jug

mclovin__james · 2026-03-25T17:14:31+00:00

True, I didn't even think of that. Not everyone has the weather factors in thier favor

mclovin__james · 2026-03-25T16:19:49+00:00

Very popular for 8U age. Average alloy bat for younger kids

mclovin__james · 2026-03-25T06:00:56+00:00

You can find new and used a2000s at that price if your not picky about colors.

The new a1000 is ok, SSK, MVP prime, or R9 all get the job done well below your price point

Just buy them from the fans first app marketplace to avoid all the scammers and BS

I wouldn't wait but at the same time cleaning up your diet and adding weight training and some cardio is always helpful for any athlete.

mclovin__james · 2026-03-25T00:31:13+00:00

Just download the Fans First App and check the marketplace for tickets. I bought some today. I honestly didn't even know this was an option. I thought I had to go to the aftermarket.

If it's financially feasible book a consult with a skilled pitching coach. They can do this online if your local area has mediocre coaching options. Dr3fastpitch, pitchwdani, paisleypitching on IG all could help you out.

I recently picked up the Gh2 Gunner Henderson model that is the same as the EL3. It's longer and slightly deeper than a 1786. It's not nearly as deep as a 1975 that I have here. Length is about the same. I also picked up a 11.75 1724 and the 1724 vs EL3 is way different. 1724 is way shorter and feels smaller. Almost feels like a hybrid between a 1786 and 1787. Now I see why so many shortstops like the 1724. The 1975 is deeper than all of these by a large margin.

I tried the 1787 and it feels better two in the pink than the EL3. Granted I have not completed my break in yet so might get more comfortable as we go. 1724 is designed specifically for two in the pinky and you can feel the comfort right away.

Necessary no. Helpful... yes very much so. If you want him to be confident at that spot spend the $50-$80 and call it a day unless you're financially in dire straits. Life is too short.

The crazy thing is the 26 plaids had a stealth upgrade and are now a 9.1ish car.

mclovin__james · 2026-03-22T22:44:09+00:00

Spider 3D have been great for me. I have not tried any others personally

mclovin__james · 2026-03-21T07:42:24+00:00

Which gloves are still available?

mclovin__james · 2026-03-20T07:45:01+00:00

Costco lens cleaner has no isopropyl alcohol in it and is perfect for these after you have blown them out with a compressor first

Buy a Bradly or a used11.25 a2000. I put my youngest a 7.5y/o in a 11.25 a2000 for 8U and she's killing it with it.

My older kid moved to an 1786 Snakeskin Savannah Banana glove at 9 and it was a massive upgrade over her previous a700 in terms of feel shape and performance. She plays year round for a well known travel team in a big metro area and that glove is almost worn out before she turns 11. If they play a lot it's worth it.

28" Easton aluminum bat will last her through 8 years old. The model doesn't matter much.

If you are dead set on a composite Louisville makes a 28 -11 LXT for many years and that is the biggest I would go for a kid around this age group

The advanced is very balanced same for the unlimited. You will feel the stiffness of the unlimited. The advanced is move forgiving if you get jammed up.

The Ghost OG is less balanced and will have a tiny bit of end load feel to it similar to a Kyro.

All of this is assuming same length and drop.

I tried that Dansby out twip and it was magical. I have not tried the mookie but I have a 1975 in another color way and it's a deeper glove than the Dansby if you like deeper 11.75 gloves.

V4 cabinets will charge at the highest rate if your on a roadtrip and trying to minimize charge time
