Types of Gloves - What is best for you?
Which Glove is right for my age?
Pro Models
- Rawlings Heart of the Hide, Pro Preferred, and exotics
- Wilson A2000, A2K, and Staff models
- Mizuno Pro
- Nike Pro or Vapor Elite
- Easton Professional
- Typically start to wear these models anywhere from ages 8-12 years old AND
if the player is on the bigger side (over 5ft) try to get into a pro model as early as possible.
- Ultimate key, being big/strong enough to squeeze the dense and durable leathers properly. We can guide you in the right steps, just shoot a text or email anytime. Call us during open business hours and we can hep get you lined up for your next glove.
- Anyone 12+, we Highly recommend that you are setup with a pro model for high school. Save you losing those rockets hit with the new high school Bat requirements !
8-12U
If the pro models gloves are not something that is necessary yet or the player is not big/strong enough, these are some great options at the intermediate age level. They feel similar to the pro models but not as heavy and expect them to be easier for the kids to use daily until they develop the hand strength.
