Pros: Good price point. 80% broken in from start. Good quality leather. Looks good. Has padded palm area which is nice since young ones don't always field the ball in the pocket! My 9 year old loves it.
Cons: None
Pros: Great glove for a 7-9 year old, broke in quickly lasted 2 years!
Cons:
Pros: Velcro strap for adjustability. Looks sharp.
Cons: Leather is too soft, won't hold it's shape in the long term. The external thumb pocket is a gimmick that isn't used. The v-flex notch is too high up, not placed at the natural crease point. Now looking for a better glove, this will become a spare glove.
Pros: Broke in very quick. Easy to use for small hands. Wonderful glove for the first year of use.
Cons: Lost shape and got floppy after one season. My 10YO is on his second one and it is at the point where we're looking for a new glove. As kids are throwing harder, the glove is having a hard time standing up to the pressure.
Pros: Durability, breaks in well, power close appears to function as designed. When stored properly, holds form well even when "butter" soft.
Cons: None at this time. I'm writing this review on an older version of this glove used by my son for 18 months. I'm now shopping for this glove for my twin boys who are entering year two of competitive travel ball. I'm baffled by the claims that the glove loses shape and won't hold up. After 3 LL seasons (fall/spring/fall) and a summer of travel baseball, my 11 yo's glove is in great shape. He stores in his bag with a glove form and while the glove is now butter soft, it holds its form and lays open properly for fielding when hand is relaxed.
Pros: My son just moved up to this glove from similar size 11in glove by Nike which was more of a kiddie play glove which was soft and not much leather. This one feels like quality construction and after some glove oil and breaking in over 10 days feels ready for the game. Leather quality is good and it offers a lot more padding than the Prospect model that my other son uses (Now discontinued) and better leather too. This should last a few years! We've been using it regularly for 6 months and still looks great.
Cons: None so far!
