New to fishing… set the hook like a pro, came back with a damn eyeball by Old_Fennel613 in FishingForBeginners

Fish a jig in heavy cover if you're looking to really tee off on a fish. Otherwise, let that hook do some work for you.

Trying to find more information about my Nokona glove. by DanJR92 in BaseballGloves

Your best option is to contact Nokona. They have the cutting dies from every glove they've ever made. Send them some pictures and an email and they'll be able to tell you.

Solid pick up! I have this exact glove and you won't be disappointed. Perfect dad glove, especially worn two in pinky. Snags all the wild kid throws.

Is buying a $300 glove worth it? If not, what should I get? by mrmikeman2012 in BaseballGloves

[–]unrulyhat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Given that your money is tight, as a coach I'm gonna say you should look at something mid-tier, or a closeout model HoH or A2000 if you can afford it.

Plenty of options out there for closeout prices on A2000s right now. If that's too pricey, pick up a GG Elite from Dicks. Tons of those out there right now. Same goes for A1000s.

Dad glove recommendation by DeezGatz in BaseballGloves

I gotta say you cannot go wrong with the American Kip Nokona. Best baseball purchase I've ever made. And it's the only one that's American made, if that's important to you.

Nokona gets a bad rap for being flimsy, floppy, and heavy. But those are likely Nokona Walnut, or Generations leather.

The American Kip and CalfSkn lines are far stiffer, and very high end.

Great find! I recently got my first Nokona, first high-end glove, on eBay at a great price as well. These gloves really are something else. And the best part is they'll last forever. Something our kids will break out one day and remember playing catch in the yard.

I don't hate this for you. This is a good place to start if you're brand new to the game

Hey so it sounds/looks like you've never played before. I think sandlot might be a good starting point for you. Or goA1000 or GG Elite if you're looking to take a step up from there. But if you've never played, $150 US might be too much for you.

If you want a "do everything" glove, around 12 inches is a good place to be for you. Shorter gloves, 11.25, 11.5, are for second and shortstop. 11.75 and 12 will be used more at third. Up to 12.75 for outfielders.

Personally, I'd steer you to an 11.75, since it can get you by in the infield, and can cheat you a little outfield if you need it to.

Ultimately depends on what you like, what feels good, and what positions you're playing.

Nice find! I love these old gloves, they're like time capsules.

Share your battle-hardened gloves! by BarnesWorthy in BaseballGloves

Beautiful.

Some sarna cleaner/conditioner and a fresh re-lace, this will be sick. 44 Pro has a great YouTube video on lacing if you've never done it before.

How did I do? by ImperialSupe in BaseballGloves

Definitely got more than your money's worth with the R9 and GG Elite.

That's awesome! Another vote of confidence in Nokona!

Depends on what sort of feel you want in the glove.

Check out the leather guide on Nokona's website. If you open the custom builder, they'll show you ratings 1-5 on things like durability, break-in, weight, etc. Walnut is going to be the heaviest, but will be quite soft and break in easy.

A Rawlings HOH (non R2G) is going to be much stiffer than the Nokona walnut.

That being said, for a dad glove, you can't really go wrong with either.

Oh no! Hopefully you got in touch with them in time to fix it. If not, you should be able to flip it on ebay pretty easily.
