Pros: This is a great glove, easy break in, nice and big, leather is quality, has a nice deep pocket, and looks great.
Cons: not enough padding in the palm
Pros: Great glove, stiff fingers and it holds shape perfect!
Cons: Takes a long time to break in but that's what you get with a quality glove. The webbing takes the longest.
Pros: This is a pretty good glove especially the flare because you wont have to flare it at all
Cons:
Pros: high quality leather (had to steam it to make it easier to break in), holds shape very well. I use this glove for slow pitch softball as an infielder and I could not be any happier with it. This glove is great for slow pitch softball and baseball outfielders. Yes its 199.99 but if you are a high end player looking for a glove that is going to last, this is the glove to get.
Cons: long break in but that is to be expected when it comes to a glove with quality leather.
Pros: I suggest rawlings gloves
Cons: Nowhere near enough padding in the palm, horrible break in, I've had mine for almost 5 months and is still stiff.

About the Brand
In 1842, J. Frederick Hillerich emigrated with his family from Baden-Baden, Germany to the United States. Eight years before, the 1834 Book of Sports had made its debut as the nation's first publication covering baseball. But when he arrived in Baltimore, J. Frederick Hillerich would never have dreamed of the future impact his family would have on America's favorite pastime.
After a short while, the Hillerichs moved to Louisville, where J. Fred started a woodworking shop in 1856. Two of his sons, Adam and John Andrew "Bud" were born in the United States and would later join their father in his business. By 1864 "J.F. Hillerich, Job Turning" was in operation and filled orders for businesses by custom-turning everything from balusters to bedposts.
The firm thrived, and by 1875 the little woodworking shop employed about 20 people. In 1880 Bud Hillerich, who was an amateur baseball player, became an apprentice in his father's shop. Young Bud made his own baseball bats along with bats for several of his teammates.
The debate over the origins of the first bat continues to generate controversy among baseball enthusiasts, but the younger Hillerich was most certainly involved in getting his father's business involved with what would become the company's signature item. According to company legend, the first bat was turned by Bud for Pete "The Old Gladiator" Browning in 1884. Browning was a star on Louisville's professional American Association team - the Eclipse. On a spring afternoon Bud, then seventeen, witnessed Browning break his favorite bat. Bud offered to make a bat for his hero, and Browning accepted. After the young wood shop apprentice lathed a quality stick from white ash, according to the story, Browning got three hits with it in the next game.
Louisville Slugger gloves are worn by more pitchers in Major League Baseball than any other glove.
