Rawlings Glove Input

[murphdog]

DD has the Liberty Advanced without the finger shift and she loves it.

My DD's current fielder's glove is a 3-finger All-Star. Like the "finger shift" RLA, it's designed to have two-in-the-pinky. What she found with the All-Star is that it really doesn't create the mechanical advantage that you get from the finger-shift in a standard-pattern glove. Her solution is to stuff three fingers in the outer-most finger stall to get the right hand position inside the glove.

gonna have a hard time beating this glove for this price especially since it's designed for the finger shift. If these weren't white I think we would own one.

Thanks for all the input. It's on its way!

Wow, it must be nearing new model time. Walmart has several of the LA's for what seem like good deals to me.
$63 - 13" outfield H
$84 - 12.5" finger shifted trap
$75 - 12" basket web
$78 - 1st base 13"

Sorry to jump in on this post but I just registered here and have basically the same question. My daughter is 12, has played 7 years of baseball and is starting her second year of softball on a mid level travel team. She also plays middle infield and outfield. She's currently using my old Rawlings Heart of the Hide Gold Glove model that I've had since 1986. I think it's an 11.75" but am not positive because it's so worn. The hand stall is way to big for her and it's floppy. Time to upgrade!!

I saw he post in the equipment section where the Mizuno Global Elite was mentioned for $80 but is that a baseball pattern? I'm open for anything including an A2000. We never skimped on her brother. I should add that she's on the smaller side. Thanks.....Steve

Not sure which Global Elite you saw for $80? Both of the 12" GGE models are discontinued, I think you'll have a really hard time finding a tan one (GGE11) but the black ones (GGE10) are still out there. And these are baseball gloves, great pattern and would work great for a 12 year old, small hand stall.

If you're interested in a 12" GGE, check eBay and Amazon, a good price is going to be around $129 / $139, which of course isn't $80 but that's still a great deal.

Also check out the 12" Mizuno Pro-Select series, either baseball or fastpitch. These are a step up over the Global Elites, actually these are what replaced the Global Elites.

Man, I'm getting old, that's the one I found back in April. The brown model.

Mac'sdad.........you need to jump on this deal before they get gone!

Thanks Enphrared!

That's the link I was talking about. Since Big Mac is on the petite side I thought a smaller hand stall and fingers would help her but maybe this would be a good option for now.
