Pros: FAST break in! Couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 'pen sessions and it was game ready. Glove it really light for being so big, and really flexible for having top quality parts. Heel hinge is MASSIVELY wide and helps keep the pocket nice and deep without flattening out. Finally, glove has a nice LONG nose for digging balls out of the dirt.
Cons: Webbing is a really wide basket weave- so it doesn't bend or fold very well- glove sort of breaks in 'around' it. Wrist strap is very wide and cinches on the back of the hand rather than off to the side like other 3000 mitts. Index finger guard is long, and gets in the way if you choose not to use it. Finally, lacing seems pretty thin for a glove that's destined to be dragged through the dirt- not the same lace as other 3000 mitts, but they do the job...for now.
Pros: Caught a double header right out of the box with no problem. Deep pocket makes it catchable, even if stiff. Great quality and plenty of padding to catch non-knuckleballers.
Cons: None yet.
Pros: Great for grabbing knuckle balls out of the strike zone. Has as much or more padding for fastballs as my Wilson A2000 mitt. The CM3000KM has held-up very well over the past two-years. This is a sturdy, well-built mitt, that can be offered at a great price because All Star does not have to pay a pro to put his name on the glove. The larger pocket helps to offset the weight of the larger 35" glove.
Cons: Some users are initially bothered by the feel of catching fastballs in the larger pocket. With a bigger pocket, the sound is somewhat quieter and the impact might feel a bit "lighter." After some practice, you may very well prefer this pocket to the standard, smaller catcher's mitt webbing.
Pros: Bought this glove to catch 12" softballs for my daughter, it works great! Like my other All Star catchers mitts it is extremely comfortable once you get it broken in. I have large hands and it was tight to the point of almost painful at first. The mitt formed to my hand within a couple of times just playing catch it formed to my hand and now just feels like an extension of it. GREAT mitt!
Cons: Not really a con to me but it is stiff out of the box and you have to have the patience to break it in correctly.
