I’m sure you know the “NP” pattern is my favorite, I love the 12” NP6. It’s a old school single break heel, definitely designed for a traditional grip. There’s three TIP gloves here.I've actually been using three in the pinky stall of the HOH catcher's mitt. It's designed for two in there already, so with it being so stuff, the third finger makes it easier to close. It also takes my index finger even further out of harms way.
