The Laser Show
Pros: Very easy break in time. It shaped very well and it has a very deep pocket
Cons: The padding in the glove is a little stiff but that does not really matter
SS/3B
Pros: This glove is great. I play SS for my HS team and 3B for my travel team and the shallow pocket is great for getting the ball out of the glove. I got this from my cousin so I didn't need to break it in. This glove is pricy but worth every penny.
Cons: After a year of playing baseball almost every day I needed to re-lace the glove.
yankeehaterryan
Pros: Great middle-infield glove. It has a quick break-in and great quickness on the field.
Cons: I lost my glove before this one so I bought this and tried to get it game ready in a day. I oiled it, microwaved it, beat the crap out of it, and repeated for a few hours and thought it was nicely broken in but after just a little bit of play it became way too floppy. This is probably my fault but just a word of caution.
S&H Soons
Pros: love the colors; the leather feels top notch, and the inside is so comfy. Takes a while to break in but when you do, it keeps its form really good
Cons: none. but a recommendation is to use nokona conditioner as it doesnt make the glove any darker
Guy who should be working for justballgloves
Pros: One of the best gloves on the market. It is one of the most popular infield models for a reason. The kip leather is very thick and stiff, and will last and hold its shape for a long time if taken care of. Lace quality is top notch for stock lace. Colorway looks nice, a good mix of flashy and classic. Glove is all around very comfortable and boosts player confidence. Rawlings Pro Preferreds are top of the line gloves worth the money you pay for it.
Cons: Nothing, great glove.
d1 baseball chuck player

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.
