So I went out and got a Sanchez 33.5 HOH glove for my son and followed your video on box break ins. It took a long time to get it catchable but it is an amazing glove. He loves it. Sounds amazing when it pops. Cannot thank you enough for your videos and advice. Keep up the great work! Thanks !
I LOATHE Rawlings catchers mitts. I am team Wilson for life and have been good with the All Star version I was recently breaking in for kids. Growing up I tried Mizuno and Rawlings and had significant thumb issues when using those. In high school when we started having RHP with more inside run on 2 seamers my thumb was getting eaten alive until I switched to Wilson models. Wilson or All Star. Box break. job done.
Hello! I need your advice on something! Just got a new catchers mitt and have been breaking it in for about a week now. I can open and close it fairly well and it is a Rawlings HoH 34. Only problem I’m having with it is that my palm is pushing on where the hinges are and creating sort of a ridge. How can I stop this from happening?
We have a 33 A2000 DPCM and in time it opens up like the HOH has a great pop to it. Mind you I did send it out to get the palm adhesive removed I do that with every glove/mitt it's a cheaper way to fool you into thinking the stiffness is the leather and somehow better when all it does is make break in harder and rip the internals apart. It makes a world of difference with break in, feel, and playability so that might be the difference with ours. Did the same with our Hyper Shell 34" HOH mitt (legit HOH NOT R2G) and got rid of the X laces in the web and went with the doubled up "I" lace pattern also great pop sound and feel. I'd say pop is the same on both if you actually catch it in the pocket but the Rawlings has a little more margin of error to make the pop sound decent on balls not fully in the pocket. Both are very comfy the HOH might fit average to slightly bigger hands/fingers better than the A2000 which is great for average to slightly smaller hands. I like the toe on the HOH a little better (seems more defined) than the on A2000. Have no doubt both are equally as durable. If you get R2G HOH gloves and mitts durability is definitely going to be an issue the leather is legit HOH but due to cheaper/softer internals like they use on the cheaper lower level gloves and mitts which makes it easier to break in but they charge the normal HOH price for it which sucks because it's not a "legit" HOH due to that. PS the "age" words like doink-age has to go it doesn't flow and seems forced lol
A2000 catchers mitt is really durable. We purchased my sons used with alot of use on it though cared for well. He is 4 seasons in himself with it and we just cleaned and conditioned it this week and no signs of leather wearing out. I am sure if it was catching 90mph the last 4 years might be different. We have an All Star 3100 on the way and will break that in so it is ready for next season and his A2000 will be his back up glove. Also I was able to purchase several years ago at a super price a new Mizuno GMP 200J Stamped numbered limited ediiton glove. It will be a gift to him down the road. Though it may take the rest of his life to break in..LOL
For the all star having doinkage, and the dilemma of traditional or two in the ring, I wear my catchers mitt two in the ring and my index finger on the finger pad to get best of both worlds. It is a lot easier for me on my catchers mitt to stretch my index finger to the finger pad then to stretch my index to the finger pad on my DP15 (yes I know the dp15 doesn’t have a finger pad because it is a Wilson with dual welting)
catching the ball is only part of the process. The question I have is WHICH GLOVE IS BETTER TO THROW A RUNNER OUT? I.E. WHICH HAS A BETTER TRANSFER GLOVE TO HAND?
Can you please review flatbill gloves? They seem like a cheaper version of aria, but I don’t know if they are any good and I haven’t seen any good reviews of them yet. Also definitely do an updated glove collection
Review on the ssk glove cleaning wipes? Also is it possible to change a glove from a 2 hinge break in to a single hinge break in to make it more shallower??
It’s preference I guess…I’ve had both and prefer Rawlings. I’ve had more luck with durability and like the leather a little better. They say Wilson is better for smaller hands, but I have small hands and wear 2 in pink with Rawlings perfect. For what it’s worth, it just seems like most middle IFs I know wear Wilson. Corners trend Rawlings
When you were trying out the Rawlings, do you remember what your finger positions were? I know everyone is different, just try to get starting point. Thanks!
I HAVE A QUESTION I REALLY WANTED THE REV1X AND I SEE HOW THE GLOVE IS STRONG AND WILL LAST A LONG TIME BUT I HAVE ALWAYS FLARED MY GLOVES AND IT IS JUST NATURAL FOR ME I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD GIVE AN ASPECT ON WHAT U THINK OF THAT.
HOH CM's are the best. It's one thing they do better than Wilson IMHO. We have a 2014 Pro issue HOH 33" or 33.5' and it is by far my son's favorite mitt. It was a beast to break in.
Love the way Wilson’s feel but the durability is not great. i’ve gone through 2 now where the laces have ripped in the web and now the binding on my current gamer is starting to rip. Thinking about getting a custom heart of the hide now.
The only beef I have for glove to the ground and work up.. pro umps strike zones are getting so bad.. by the time a youth player makes it to the bigs.. are we gonna have robo umps?
Whoa! How can you do a RUclips glove break in without putting a clown flare on the thumb of the glove? The internet has taught us that for a ball to go into the pocket of a glove it must be funneled in with clown flares! Doesnt matter if its a catchers mitt you need to redo the tests after flaring them.
Hey brotha! Love your videos. On the all star, were you saying that way you wear that glove is bad just for that specific glove? I’m a catcher and at high levels we are taught to have one in pinky, two in ring, and one middle(which is thought to be the best catchers grip position). I’m looking for a new catchers mitt for this season and was thinking either all star or Rawlings
Yes updated glove collection would be good
Yes I would love to see that
Love the GS model. My favorite size for catcher’s mitts and I love the little gold border on the patch!
Mizuno pro catchers glove most underrated glove ever

For real
Yes! Full collection update please!
I have the 35 in All Star mitt and really like the larger sized cathcher glove. I boxed mine more. I really enjoy your videos.
I LOATHE Rawlings catchers mitts. I am team Wilson for life and have been good with the All Star version I was recently breaking in for kids.

Wilson or All Star. Box break. job done.
Wilson M2. Best catcher’s mitt ever.
Have you ever done a review of the pro-level Marucci gloves (cypress and capitol)?
All-star with a box style break is amazing.
I have the all star glove broken in box style and it is honestly the best feeling glove ever.
I have 2 allstars. One box break-in and on flat. I really prefer the box-shaped. I wear it traditionnal,

My son has a 44 and is wanting a different one. He is torn between the rawlings and the wilson. I think he is leaning towards the rawlings.
Both are great but I will say that Wilson tends to fit smaller hands better
catching the ball is only part of the process. The question I have is WHICH GLOVE IS BETTER TO THROW A RUNNER OUT? I.E. WHICH HAS A BETTER TRANSFER GLOVE TO HAND?
Just purchased the gary sanchez do you remember if you went 2 in the ring or 1 finger in each slot for the break in?
I switch back a little. I kinda like traditional a little more but you definitely get a few more stingers
The 3000s is 33.5 also...the 3000xs is 32...the 3000jr is 31.5 (youth)
Can you please review flatbill gloves? They seem like a cheaper version of aria, but I don’t know if they are any good and I haven’t seen any good reviews of them yet.
Also definitely do an updated glove collection
If you where a batting glove while catching should you break it in with the batting glove on?
Review on the ssk glove cleaning wipes? Also is it possible to change a glove from a 2 hinge break in to a single hinge break in to make it more shallower??
Sneaky Red Maple HAGA in there! 🔥
Great video. What catchers glove could you recommend for a youth catcher. Thinking R9 as you mentioned the pro cm33 looked and performed similar
Does Wilson or Rawlings make better infield gloves?
I personally like rawlings better because they have lighter glove options than wilson but that's just me.
It’s preference I guess…I’ve had both and prefer Rawlings. I’ve had more luck with durability and like the leather a little better. They say Wilson is better for smaller hands, but I have small hands and wear 2 in pink with Rawlings perfect. For what it’s worth, it just seems like most middle IFs I know wear Wilson. Corners trend Rawlings
Wilson’s have a stiffer feel Rawlings have a softer feel but I would say it’s just based on preference
I’m a catcher and the Rawlings R9 32 1/2 in. Is a good flat break in
100% I reviewed it recently and it’s solid
I think I'm gonna get heart of the hide. The leather and support on my infield one is amazing.
When you were trying out the Rawlings, do you remember what your finger positions were? I know everyone is different, just try to get starting point. Thanks!
Good flat style catchers mitt Rawlings gg elite 32 1/2 in
Hello glovekingball where did you get ur haga glove
Chris who would u recommend for 1/4in laces? I want to get red.
I am 10 years old and I am looking into buying a 44 and I am smaller
So would you recommend pro stuff or standard?
I HAVE A QUESTION I REALLY WANTED THE REV1X AND I SEE HOW THE GLOVE IS STRONG AND WILL LAST A LONG TIME BUT I HAVE ALWAYS FLARED MY GLOVES AND IT IS JUST NATURAL FOR ME I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD GIVE AN ASPECT ON WHAT U THINK OF THAT.
What do you think of 44 catcher mitts
Not sure if you’ve thought about this yet… but you should do a review on the All Star Maldonado Black catcher’s mitt.
HOH CM's are the best. It's one thing they do better than Wilson IMHO. We have a 2014 Pro issue HOH 33" or 33.5' and it is by far my son's favorite mitt. It was a beast to break in.
A Marucci catchers mitt has a pretty good flat break in
Day 1 of asking for a Rico glove review
the Allstar is actually meant to be broken in box style.
No it’s not
Can you make a video on how to break in a 44 pro glove
What you use to hang your gloves on the wall
We all know All-Star makes the best catcher mitts on the market
Love the way Wilson’s feel but the durability is not great. i’ve gone through 2 now where the laces have ripped in the web and now the binding on my current gamer is starting to rip. Thinking about getting a custom heart of the hide now.
Should do a full 44 line up of positions IN, IF, C, 1B
I have a 44 catchers mitt I could send him
@@u1tr471me too lmao. I need it broken in too
Try 44 catchers mit. I wanna know ur opinion on it
The only beef I have for glove to the ground and work up.. pro umps strike zones are getting so bad.. by the time a youth player makes it to the bigs.. are we gonna have robo umps?
Can you do a ha seong Kim glove review for the Korean glove build if u could find his glove
The reason you get push back because the way you’re catching the ball
Akadema catcher mitt needs to be reviewed.

It physically hurts to watch this guy catch
I thought I was the only one.
I guess he is trying to catch in the pockets. he isn't teaching techniques...obviously
My glove hasn’t come yet 😢
Please do a r2g Rawlings catchers mitt
Can u send me one of your all star pro elite catcher gloves? I am a Freshman catcher and would love to have one of those gloves.
Do a vid on the breakout series
I got a marucci captitol series. Anyone have yhe a problem with the red dye inside the glove coming off?
you should break in a mizuno catchers mitt
I have used all star catchers mitt for ten years. Im telling ya 2 in the pink is the way to go over the other two options.
do a video showing ur LHT glove collection
Would silver laces show wear faster like that gold binding?
Good quality laces are a thicker piece of leather than the binding so they should hold up better. On cheap laces though, all bets are off.
@@imn8 thanks, got a rawlings color sync with grey laces, been thinking silver would look good on it possibly
The "chrome" deff breaks off and wears off on the color sync 2.0! When it does ya can replace wedd laces with off white or grey and PLAY ON!
the rawlings mitt loosk the the new gg elite catchers mitt I jus got
you should try a 2k cacher glove

The All Star glove don’t get bullied, your wrist is getting bullied.
