Interesting Observation

Changing when they become a pro or somebody showing them it when they were 10 and then just wearing it that way...big difference

I’ve had this glove for close to 30 years. Played many seasons of FPSB with it. I just recently switched to TIP because my 18yo DD has been asking me to play catch with her a lot. She throws hard. I’m not about to say no as we will be off to college soon.

Looks like I’m trying my best to disprove my point by showing all these superstars wearing their gloves traditional!

Lindor and pedroia look TIP to me.

I am sure TIP is great...also pretty sure how you wear your glove makes almost zero difference in determining how good of a MI you are...

For sure. I personally like it because it lessons the amount of stingers on my index finger.

Here is a pretty good article explaining TIP, why it’s done, and who is doing it in the pros. And this was back in January of 2017.

If your kids are wearing their baseball gloves the traditional way of sliding their hand all the way into their glove, they may benefit from a 'pro' way of wearing their glove.

Anybody have a picture of how Ozzie Smith wore it? That is all 12 YO Peter cares about ?
