Cons: none

Pros: Great quality glove for the price. Glove arrived on Wed and my was playing with it it a game on Sat.

Cons: None

Pros: Glove was easy to break in. My grandson is 13 yrs. old and really likes it.

Cons:

Pros: Nice deep pocket, good padding, easy break in.

Cons: None.

Pros: Great quality for the price.

Cons: It just seemed huge. My 13 year old son felt like it was humongous, and it was big on my hand as well. We went with a smaller, more youth-oriented model.

Pros: Was shocked at the quick break in. My son is 11 and this is a massive upgrade from the youth glove he was catching with. He's found it easier to get the ball out and has zero sting. Very impressed.

Cons:

Pros: Bought for son when he started playing catcher on his HS team. Needed something quality that could hold up against HS pitchers, but also something that would be game ready relatively quickly (needed to replace another catchers mitt that wasn't doing the job). Also, we weren't in the market for a super expensive glove because we weren't sure he would be playing catcher past this season. He used it in practice for a week to catch bullpen, worked with it at home to break it in, and was able to use it in a game within a week. But it still has enough structure to protect his hand and last the season without falling apart. And it was on sale, which made mom happy. He says it snaps closed, holds the ball in the pocket, and is a great glove. He feels like it is helping him be successful. The other catchers on the team are now looking to buy one for themselves.

Cons: None

Pros: Good Lookin mitt Constructed well Quality leather Broke in nice I'm a parent that used to be a catcher. I bought this to play catch with my son hoping to spark the interest in him.

Cons: Very stiff initially but after lots of conditioner and rapping with ball in palm, it broke in very nicely

Pros: Large pocket, good quality leather, should last a long time.

Cons: STIFF - OMG this glove is rock hard out of the box.

Pros: Very Good Quality leather. Takes some work to break in so it should last a while. Also looks really cool!

Cons: None yet

Pros: This is an excellent glove especially for this price level. Great padding. My 11 year old stopped using the extra thumb guard he was using in his other glove. He said this glove had enough padding that he didn't need it. Break in was quicker than expected. Had it steamed and used some break in oil. My son was catching games with it in 2 days.

Cons: None

Pros: Good at first. Center has a large pad in the palm.

Cons: The ball pops out the web easily. There is no adjustment for the pocket. Large padding in the palm breaks in too quick

Pros: Price, comfort, easy break in. Bought this to catch for my son when his velocity became too high for my regular glove. I’ve been really happy with it. I usually end up using it for long toss too. Great mitt.

Cons: None

Pros: No Pro's as the mitt has not made it out of break in yet

Cons: The synthetic leather has already started to peel while attempting to break the mitt in for spring season

Pros: Good leather Good padding Overall good quality

Cons: It takes forever to break in

Pros: Has some neat features

Cons: Terrible to break in.purchased in February and never did get broke in. Then broke leather ripped while hitting in pocket. Never used in game .Would not recommend to anyone.

Pros: Comfortable on my hand

Cons: Very shallow web Seems smaller than other 33” gloves Plastic welting already peeling off Lots of wrinkles and bubbles in palm
