I have a 44 C2 and it isn't really great. It's heavy and took forever to break in compared to my Easton Professional Collection Hybrid that I switched to. I got my 44 for such a good price that I can't say its AWFUL, but if I had to do it again I eould either get the kip leather version for a few bucks more, or pick up another Rawlings GG Elite or similar glove. 44s are good for customizing but for a similar price you can get a better glove IMO.
@@Hi5boii mine was the normal stiffness but, again, it just hasn't been a great glove IMO. It took a long time to break in but I've found that the laces are really what makes the glove stiff. Once I loosened the fingers it's much more malleable now. Still, the thing weighs a metric ton compared to every other glove I own. I didn't really notice it until I started using other gloves.
Come on man….C2 is their low end line….it’s like reviewing a Wilson A1000 instead of an A2000 and harping on Wilson. Can’t expect much in that scenario. Get a typical 44, signature series or EX-10 Kip leather glove and review it.
I got a custom Pro 44 glove made and honestly, I hate it. I broke it in like I did my Wilson A2000 and my Rawlings HoH. the glove just feels weird! Also, I ordered a 11.75" infield model, and I compared it to my Rawlings and Wilson and it's like half an inch longer for some reason. which also makes it feel really weird and floppy. Also, the thumb stiffener feels like it is not long enough. like it is in a glove half an inch too big for it. Honestly it is a bummer. I was really excited for this glove, and it just feels really weird and that is before comparing it to my, Wilson and Rawlings. needless to say, I don't think I'll ever get another 44 for my collection. Not without major improvements on their part anyway. In a recent video I heard Ball Glove King say they're quality has dropped badly lately. That is my experience anyway, I hope others have fared better.
No I 100% agree, their quality has dropped. I've noticed many of my buddies talk about the same things. But when you mass produce custom gloves, its hard to ensure the quality of every single glove. Not giving them an excuse, but its the reality. Wilson and Rawlings also deal with the same thing. Eventually, it could become a much wider issue.

Absolutely, I 100% agree. I would love to pick up one of the signature models and see how it compares! Definitely will be a future video!
Maybe you chose 90 to 95% players break in
@@Hi5boii maybe, I can’t really remember
@@Heidethrowz yeah that’s means it’s really hard to break in

Absolutely! I plan on making a future video about a signature series 44 pro and giving it a full review!

I will say, I have a 12” GGE & a 12” A2K and the A2K soooo much bigger next to the GGE
@@TimothyWenger My goal is to do a review of an A2K at some point and compare it to the A2000. The A2K is very interesting.
@ very. I have a A2K B23 12” pitcher glove and like a Winter 2024 A2K 1810 12.76” outfield glove and they’re two of my favorites
Love it bro
