BTW, Robb, and now Joe, run a very good organization at Top Gun. My daughter had an offer from them two years ago, but she turned it down, which turned out to be a big mistake. Good luck to your daughter.
Thank you. Yes. Joe and Bob seem awesome. She will be on Joe’s team and is really looking forward to it. So much so she wants at least one glove to be in their colors :p.

@cankster, I swear I’m struggling putting something together with Navy, Orange & White! I’ve mocked up 7 or 8, I’m ashamed to show them off!

There’s just something in my blood that won’t let me use these colors that bleed and sun fade.

I’m an old school Tan/Tan/Tan guy with sometimes a Black thrown in the mix. Two things that’ll always be in one of my custom mock ups….Tan laces and Gray split welting, those two are a must for me!

Good luck, let’s see what you come up with.

Haha. Well thanks for the try. The snakeskin does not really fade and bleed which is one good thing for that material. I agree. We both like what we put together for the Wilson Top Gun glove but could not really get a similar result for the Rawlings 206. Did you like what we made for the HOH catchers mitt, its def more traditional?

I did….but White laces and White binding on a catchers mitt is quickly going to become a mess!
Her Rawlings Liberty with all white basically, has held up well. Not as white as it was when new obviously but zero issue with how it looks now. Just looks white but used :). Has held up well, 2 years old.

Hey @cankster, how big is your DD, and what size hands does she have? And does she wear her glove traditional or two-in-the-pinky (TIP)?
She is 5'4" with decent size hands for her height I think, she uses TIP. We were at the FSU Monday night camp tonight and I got to ask our amazing starting 3rd Jaysoni Beachum what she used and she uses a DW5, so that was interesting.

I was just going to mention to take a look at a 11.75” NP5, it’s actually my favorite Rawlings pattern. It more favors the traditional grip over TIP because of the single hinge heel. And, the hand stall is slightly larger than a Pro1000/206.

It’s an 11.75” that’s actually a touch larger than the a 12” 1000/206.IMG_2214.jpegIMG_2215.jpegIMG_2217.jpeg
