Called Marucci, the gentleman I spoke with recommended the Magnolia series & the 3D inserts since my daughter does like a snug fit (she always wears a glove under her mitt). Wrist opening on both the Cypress & Magnolia can both go down to 6.5". Have all the options sorted out, now just deciding whether to go with the Cypress or Magnolia. Thanks for all your help!
My take on baseball vs. softball gloves is obviously the velcro debate, which finally / thankfully a lot of manufacturers are going away from it! But also the build quality….think internals, Rawlings, Wilson, and Vinci softball glove internals just flat out suck!!
Lots of people may disagree with me, but it’s very rare that I’ll ever recommend a true fastpitch softball glove here! My DD has used a baseball glove since she was 11, no telling how many girls here I’ve put in a baseball glove, and the girls I’ve coached in TB & HS, everyone a baseball glove!
But, I’ve never owned a Marucci, so I just don’t know? But for my money there’s no doubt I’d order my daughter a baseball glove regardless of what that rep said!

If you don't mind, please post when you get it to let us know how the hand fit is for dd
Have you guys ( your DD mainly) had a chance to mock up her custom yet? Curious what y’all came up with?
I actually called Marucci’s CS to see if they possibly offered split welting….they don’t. I was thinking of ordering me a custom, but not without split welting, rolled welting is a big ole no for me!
A 12.25” I-web in Toffee steerhide with split welting for $200 would be hard to turn down! No split saved me some cash.

I can’t get the builder colors to work on my iPad?
I will tell you if she’s wanting a two tone glove in black & tan, that combo ALWAYS looks best with a black shell / frame and a tan web, can’t explain it but trust me!
And the black & tan combo looks best with gold, ivory, or beige stitching.
Have her mock one up with a black back, tan web, and tan palm, tan binding, and break up the black back with some gray welting.
Also, I love their Toffee color, but as the main color, I think it’s too dark to pair with black. They have a lighter tan but as I said the color icons aren’t working for me on their builder with my iPad, not sure what they call their lighter tan?
Here’s a black & tan combo that works!
