J. FUNK (Virginia) on May 11, 2023
Nice. Stiff
K. PARSLEY (Texas) on October 11, 2021
This mitt was recommended by our catching coach who was a college catcher and so far it has been great! Highly recommend!
E. STRAIN (Missouri) on April 8, 2021
Straight from the box the look of this great was awesome, however it was very very stiff. We took to Dick's Sporting goods and steamed it (twice). The glove now fits his hand perfectly (12 year) He is an avid baseball player during spring/summer hoping to get some great usage out of this glove!
B. HOWLEY (Illinois) on February 24, 2021
