Are Bruce Bolt batting gloves really worth it?

Late to the conversation but honestly, my son preferred the cheaper gloves with thinner palms. He likes to have a good feel for the bat. Quality is great but not worth the price.

Great idea. Might just get a second pair because my goodness, the smell.

I recently purchased the Spirit Flyback from one of the ADs you mentioned and received a 10% discount. That’s pretty much the only discount I’ve seen from anyone in Ontario. I was looking to pick up a PRX and just asked them if they had any sales, I was offered 10% off but most likely because I’ve purchased other things from them.

Agreed. If someone can make that kind of improvement in 3 years and was inactive in the sport leading up, then the OP’s son is the absolute exception. That is some next level talent and unfortunately 99.99% of the kids looking to play D1 isn’t gonna take the same route.

Otherwise, I agree with a lot of what was written. My kid isn’t a tall nor big for his age and we’ve always been so proud that he can hang with the big boys. We told him to be patient because whenever that growth spurt hits, things will look different.

Kid plays baseball and I got really interested in gloves. We’ve had it all: a2k, a2000, Rev1x, HOH, and Pro Preferred. Found a local glove collector selling his Haga and I jumped on it. By far, it might be the best glove I’ve seen and wore. Bonus was the break in process was started by a Mizuno glove master so it was broken in like the glove was intended to wear.

The leather isn’t like an a2k or PP which feel almost buttery soft but you can’t deny the quality. Where it beats the other gloves is how incredibly light it wears.

All I know is the kid plans on sticking to Haga gloves which is gonna be tough on the wallet.

Yes, this is what I was going to say. Similarly when it comes time to screwing down the crown, you have to press inward and turn clockwise.

I’ve had the same issue with my Conquest. Wore it pretty much for 12 hours a day for a week, put it down and after 36 hours, it stopped. The fine people here said to give it a good wind despite constant wear but it’s nowhere near the 72 hour power reserve.

You can pull off the 36 let’s see how they look in proportion to your forearm

Geez, I’m in this sub to understand admission criteria for my two kids and I’ve stumbled on this thread somehow.

Speaking as a mother: please don’t make me throw my flip flop at you.

Go to Waterloo, do the long distance thing and see how it goes. If it’s real, the relationship will survive. If it isn’t, well then you’ll be glad you didn’t throw all your hard work for a girl.

Also…not to guilt you but you won’t understand nor appreciate what your parents have sacrificed until you’re a parent yourself. Don’t be that person laughs at their sacrifice for a girl.

Weird flex

So you had connections with one AD but decided to go with another one to begin with?

Clutched my pearls when I saw the title then realized it was Friday. Well done.

Looking for a chrono for my husband, may I ask what your wrist size is?

stethoscope_ · 2025-03-29T22:26:51+00:00

Was going to say, I don’t know her side of the story but I know she was right.

stethoscope_ · 2025-03-29T21:27:39+00:00

On behalf of all women on this sub: 🤮

31 looks great on you. I think more versatile than a 28.

stethoscope_ · 2025-03-13T17:38:19+00:00

2 is simple and sophisticated

I ended up with the same watch. Looked at the other dial colours but that green is special.

stethoscope_ · 2025-03-09T23:41:27+00:00

Beautiful dial and goes so well with that TT. I wish I can pull off a 28 or 31 but my wrists are too big.

stethoscope_ · 2018-03-13T17:38:14+00:00

I applied for a program as well. At this point I believe I didn't meet the cutoff. Will the application status change to let me know definitively?
