i just got a 44 pro glove and it’s nice, the kip liner and the laces are petty good too, but imma be honest the thumb and pinky aren’t very comfortable as with the a2000 which i’ve had for a couple years now is a lot more comfortable
Dunno if you guys gives a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend for the last weeks xD
I don't know exactly, but it could be the oiled chestnut is softer than the other leathers. I received my oc last week (pro stiff) and I could squeeze it pretty easily when I got it.
I’ve reviewed two 44s on my channel and the one that I did most recently was wayyy softer than the one I got a year ago. I think the leather quality has dropped a bit
I added the kip palm liner to my 44 and it has made it a lot harder to break in. It makes it more durable, but not as easy to break in if you're looking for a quick break in. I don't think I will add kip palm liner on my next 44 just so I can compare both ways.
Compared to say a Wilson or Rawlings are the sizes of the 44pro true to size not sure if that makes sense basically I'm wondering if a 11.75 in a 44 is the same as a Wilson 11.75
Just got mine it today, love it! The only complain i have too is the thumb. Did yours just become more comfortable with time? Or did you put some oil of something in to make it softer?
I got a 44 last week and the thumb was very stiff, as the plastic insert seemed to run too low into palm binding. Makes it uncomfortable when squeezing and breaking in that break point. I loosened up the wrist lace to help with the feel. I have a Rico star series also about 2 weeks old. Leather is much better, seems thicker and the thumb insert is placed higher making closing the glove much more comfortable. You don’t feel the end of the insert every squeeze.
I also have the extra kip palm liner on both. And I do feel like I will ultimately like both of them, but my younger sons will probably get a $200 Rico Star Series opposed to an on sale $160 44 Pro signature series.
You can get padded thumb and pinky loops from 44. You just have to ask. I have it on 2 of my 44's. They are much more comfortable. Next time just mention it to them when you design a glove.
I have had my Wilson for 5 weeks and finally is almost game ready I used hot water and a mallet and beat it every day do you have any advice so I could get a quicker break in next time?
I recommend doing it the right way rather than the faster way so just use the glove as much as you can when you want it broken in faster throw the ball continuously in the pocket if you’re just sitting around.
They should have been emailing you for a while now notifying you about the stages and when they ship. You can also log in and check the progress on the website
@@sparky2459 had mine about a week and it’s breaking in fine, just worked the binding and break points after using Nokona conditioner on palm and laces. Wrapped ball in pocket at night. Couch catch for an hour or so a day
@Gracee C I have two 44s now. First one is standard stiffness w/Kip palm liner, dual welting, Blonde with black in the dual welting slots. 2 years old now and leather/laces are holding up great. I condition with nokona at start and end of season. My new one I went with Pro stiff and kept the sheepskin palm liner. I went with a black leather inlay option on the back, with Oiled Chestnut on the palm, web and finger tips. Had this one about 6 months now (all offseason) I really love the way this one feels. You put your hand in this one and it’s identical to putting my hand in the A2000s/Heart of the hides at athletic stores. Leather on outside is not quite the same but 44s are Kip leather and A2000/heart of hide are steerhide leather those will always feel softer or “buttery”. Kip is lighter and will get close with conditioner though. Breaking them in really was about the same, however the thumb and pinky inserts are definitely thicker with pro stiff, which I like. The sheepskin liner is a lot more comfortable than the Kip liner but it’s too early to know how ultimately those liners hold up long term. I do a lot of manipulation of the leather with my hands and fingers in the palm area folding/closing it over cm by cm (without creasing it) and especially at the hinge points to work the leather. Beyond that it’s just mallet and couch catch and I’ll wrap up the glove with a ball or two when I’m not working on it. I wish RUclips let you post pictures. Anyone I know with a 44 suggests going with traditional colors for the main glove and laces. Introducing more dye colors always seems to be the issue area on a problem with 44. Laces are weaker, leather has issues. Either that or they did the oven, microwave, steam etc. route and dried out the laces. Love pro stiff, black or tan laces, THESE two gloves will last me a long time. I hope everyone has same experience as me but you will see some horror stories on 44s now and then. Probably not telling the whole back story.
I personally like a2000s more. Both have good leather but the a2000 is more comfortable. I think wilson usually has a sale mid September on most of their gloves on the website so u could probably get it for less than a 44
@@redmamba625 I have a 44 pro signature series and a Rico Star Series. 44 was on a sale for $160, Rico was $200. Both with custom name on glove and kip palm liner. Rico was much more comfortable and both are breaking in just fine after a couple weeks. Nokona conditioner on palm and laces, wrap ball at night, hour or so couch catch during day.
how does it compare to an a2000?
The leather is similar, but the comfort level and form is not there compared to an A2000.

I noticed that to my recent 44 was a lot softer than my other two I ordered mine 3 days after you so could be the leather batch or something

That’s awesome, thanks for letting me know! I told Benny about my issues so hopefully 44 will be adding them to the customizer.
Does it make your glove a lot more heavy?
Fire content like always😉🔥
You need to try that kip palm. It makes a world of a difference
Yeah I definitely will in a future custom, I just thought the sheepskin was a very sufficient choice👍
what does the kip palm do to the glove.
@@stephenmariani3055 it’s a higher quality liner. Also 44 let’s you customize the color of it. Might make the glove stiffer as well.
@@GoatGloves is it more confortable
@@stephenmariani3055 again I haven’t had it so I can’t totally answer that properly
Rawlings pro preferred vs Wilson a2k vs Wilson A2000 vs Rawlings gold glove which is the best?
I would recommend the a2000 snakeskin it’s hard to break in but it’s an amazing glove
The only thing with my 44 is that it if you catch it in the palm is hurts a lot it’s very thin but other that that it’s good
I like 44 price is decent but it of course doesnt compare to hoh a2000 etc which is expected its 180$ and what you're paying its not bad
Exactly👍
Isn’t the oiled chestnut darker than that?
i just ordered a heart of the hide..... how do you think it will turn out?
Those are the best gloves imo those and Gg elite are the best gloves
Mine is really thin and uncomfortable. Is yours like that as well
How long does it take for these gloves to come in, is it really a month wait??
Mine took about 6 weeks to come in.
I have had my Wilson for 5 weeks and finally is almost game ready I used hot water and a mallet and beat it every day do you have any advice so I could get a quicker break in next time?

Do you guys think I should get a 44 pro because I got a a2000 but it came in with a bunch of creases, wrinkles in the palm and a weird form
Great vid 👍🏼

Yea I got my 44 about 6 months ago and it’s still stiff lol

You should do a live stream next time you break in a glove and any time you pick up your glove like the first 2 days you get it
I’ll have a glove to break in soon, if I go live it will be on Instagram👍
I Love You Sean!
44 or a2000?
A2000 fasho
Sheep skin palm liner is better than the kip in my opinion
Nice break in!
Thank you!!
