Pros: Best glove I have used in a long time. The pocket is probably the best feature of the glove. Just overall, a beautiful glove.
Cons: Nothing!
Pros: I bought this glove for my 11 year old. Great glove, east breakin.
Cons:
Pros: Nice size and feel. Does not seem like it will take forever to break in. Feels well made at 1/4 the price of the top shelf gloves, I play part time middle Winfield so this will be more than good enough.
Cons: None so far.
Pros: Bought this for my 14 year old son for Christmas. Very nice quality glove. Has a snug fit, good for smaller hands. He is fan of the flare design as he has the previous model in a 12 inch pattern and has been a great glove as well. Too bad more manufacturers do not offer a flare design but these LS TPX's are very nice and a good value at $100. It should last a few seasons if taken care of properly.
Cons: None.
Pros: Good pitching glove, ok for infield, flare and web makes for a nice deep pocket, and hides pitches well
Cons: modified trapeze not the best web for infield but that's all personal preference
Pros: Great Glove! I broke it in in 6 days! Feels great in the middle infield!
Cons: A little hard to catch in the outfield but that's what you get for getting a infield glove!
Pros: Great design. Love the flare. High quality for great price. I am 6'6" and wear a XXL batting glove, this fits my big hands perfect. Break in period was 2 days. Best pitching glove I have ever played with.
Cons: None
Pros: Amazing glove. This is by far the best glove I have had. it's comfortable, forms to your hand and is great for multiple positions. Best glove ever, love it.
Cons: NONE!!!

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.
