Pros: Easy break in
Cons: Very heavy, gold wears off in about a month, after break in glove gets very flappy, leather is too soft
Pros: I use this glove for slow pitch softball infield, mainly shortstop, third, and second base. This was an upgrade from my previous 11.5 inch model glove, and oh man what a difference. The glove breaks in very fast (I have had it for three weeks and its very easy to squeeze and pocket is developing nicely)
Cons:
Pros: This glove features a very deep pocket and long fingers which is ideal for an outfielder. It breaks in very easily and is very comfortable.
Cons: Very heavy.
Pros: I LOVE IT! Broke in quick and its very durable. Great glove and not a bad price at all! Highly recommended!!
Cons: gold wears off quick
Pros: Easy brrak-in,
Cons: heavy
Pros: Smooth clean look great glove if taken care of I use two fingers in the pinky overall a great glove for the price and quality. I found that wearing a batying glove you have a little more control and doesnt cause the glove to crack in the inside due to sweat.
Cons: The laces on the trapeez become sloppy with alot of use wich can be a pain to tighten. The glove dries out overtime I recommend you use glove butter on it atleast every couple of months and keep a baseball in it to prevent it from being sloppy, I found that my evoshield elbow gaurd works best.
Pros: quick break in great for high school players. very soft and comfortable on hand. best outfielders mitt money can buy
Cons: gold does wear off after about 2-3 months but it doesn't matter too much
Pros: Amazing glove. Perfect for a Higher schooler wanting a good quality glove. My son previously had a mizuno global elite. We returned it and bought this beauty. Easy brake in and GREAT GLOVE
Cons: the gold paint does come off in 2-3 months but not a big deal at all.
Pros: I've had this glove for about 4 years, in the beginning it was very soft and broke in very fast which at the time was good. I had to get it relaced in my third year of use due to one of the laces breaking, but overall its been a great long lasting glove.
Cons: The glove broke in way too fast and got floppy within the first year, it is also a little too heavy but it was nothing that could hurt my fielding

About the Brand
Rawlings is a major manufacturer of competitive team sports equipment and apparel for baseball, basketball, and football, as well as licensed MLB, NFL, and NCAA retail products. Rawlings is a major supplier to professional, collegiate, interscholastic, and amateur organizations worldwide, including the Official Baseball Supplier to Major League Baseball.
The first real innovation in glove making occurred in 1912 when Rawlings Sporting Goods Company introduced the "Sure Catch" glove, which was "endorsed by leading players all over the country." The Sure Catch was a one-piece glove with sewn-in finger channels and looked better suited for a duck's foot than a man's hand. Catchers' mitts used at the time were large and bulky with a single leather thong passing for a web.
In 1920, Bill Doak, a journeyman pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, approached Rawlings with an idea for improving the baseball glove from a mere protective device to a genuine aid in fielding. The "Bill Doak" model was so revolutionary that it stayed in Rawlings' line until 1953. Its key feature was a multi-thong web laced into the first finger and thumb, which created for the first time in baseball's young life, a natural pocket.
In 1925, Rawlings unveiled a three-fingered fielder's glove, and ten years later improved the Bill Doak model with a two-piece leather web. At the same time, the "T" web became a rage for first basemen's mitts. The pocket underwent a pronounced change in 1941 when the Trapper Mitt, also known as the Claw, appeared. The "Deep Well" pocket was so unique that Rawlings quickly patented it. The design was improved in 1950 by adding a leather piece across the top. Another significant creation occurred in 1948 with the three-fingered Playmaker. A five-fingered fielder's model, with all fingers laced together, provided greater pocket control.
The six-fingered Trap-Eze evolved in the 1960's. In more recent years, Rawlings produced the Fastback design, which gives a glove a snugger fit, greater extension, and overall control. The Holdster is a slot through which a finger can be extended for additional protection from impacts on the pocket. Then, there is the Edge-U-Cated Heel with its extended U-shaped lacing and the Pro H Web and much-copied Basket Web.
Some of Rawlings's more recent glove innovations also include the unique Spin-Stopper design which reduces ball spin when the ball hits the glove, and the Cantilever glove design feature that provides a cushioned area between the hand and the glove's palm area. In all, Rawlings has produced and patented more functionally innovative glove features and designs than that of any other glove manufacturer. The result is that the modern baseball glove is much larger, more comfortable, better padded, and made to last far longer than its ancestors. It is not uncommon to see today's Major League players wearing the same Rawlings glove they wore during their college playing days. In fact, Rawlings is the #1 glove in the major leagues. Rawlings maintains about 65 models of baseball and softball mitts and gloves in its line. The prototypes of virtually all of them have been field-tested by professionals before entering a sporting goods dealer's inventory.
