ballgloveking....
What they say is true... Japan is flat out better than anyone when it comes to baseball gloves.
Just to be clear I’m using a Jax glove in this video. Like Jax the company that makes batting gloves. Jax is in fact not a Japanese glove brand but they teamed up with a manufacturer there. I never like saying a glove is perfect but Japan is REALLY good at what they do. - กีฬา
I’m giving away a FREE glove to the 1st and 50th glove order on ballgloveking.com 😳
Hi 👋 I got a A2000 for this
Can u break in my glove
@ballgloveking could u do a Javier Baez glove break in vid
@Charlotte-tr2pv you just have to curl them outwards with your hand, if you do it often enough they'll eventually stay flared on their own
QUESTION? Buying a Japanese rubber ball vs hard ball glove?
so stoked you liked the Jax Glove!! Fantastic video.
Good work Jaxon, this is exciting my man!
Is Jax your company
@@Imhunter61 man ，Jax is from Taiwan not Japan , please cheak it out , it just in the form of Japanese style
thanks to your videos I got my first glove (as an adult), got it broken in, and it's now my favorite glove I've ever had. So thanks for all your content. Think I watched like 50 of your vids before deciding on a glove. Ended up going with a Rawlings, and your break in tips make it feel like butter!
I always love seeing the slap close that you get following your glove break ins.
You should rate a marucci glove and compare it to other gloves
Marucci makes solid gloves 👌
Could you check out the SSK z7? I think it’s pretty cool looking and a bit cheaper then most, thanks!
You should do a vid on how to brake in a Rev1x and keep up the good work
Also, I love watching your videos and I love watching you play with your dad cause I don’t have a dad to play with😅 great work👍🏽
Awesome video! Japanese gloves are legit for sure. Many American brands try to replicate features of Japanese gloves, but fall short when it comes to the materials and craftsmanship. Props to Jax for coming out with gloves that are actually made in Japan.
Great comment that wraps it all up!
Thanks Ethan!
@@ballgloveking Jax is not a Japanese brand , man . They build this product in Japanese style but it did constructed in Taiwan
@@ballgloveking More to mention is that you should better try out their customized gloves , really fantastic , with good quality and nice holding ability . For some other reasons , I also try out some Chinese customized brand , and they are also cheap and pretty good , trust me for sure , they won't make you disappointed .
@@ballgloveking Have to say that there is more brands for you to explore their value , not only this few , especially when you got a wall of gloves like me , you would know what is going on there , customized gloves is the core of a brand , by trying out their top series , you would be able to have a better perspective to those brand and the style they produced the glove .
By the way , please keep filming these videos for baseball , there is a plethora demands for this kind of videos for the people all over the world to join this sport . Support from a previous (not official) baseball player
Can't wait to show off my Jax glove!!
Dude I can’t take it off my hand
Can you review the Warstic gloves curious to see how they compare to your traditional HOH
They are solid gloves but overpriced a little. Not bad if you can get a discount!
Leather is buttery, but I found it to be thinner than a hoh or a2000. My least favorite out of the Rawlings, Wilsons, Maruccis, and Mizunos I've owned.
When I look up Jax baseball gloves a separate company with a completely separate logo called Jax 56 pops up. The logo isn’t the script Jax is an odd looking X. Very confusing
Look for the same Jax that makes the batting gloves
What would be a good glove for middle school middle infielders? Love the videos!
if you're on the small side I'd say something like a Rawlings R2G HOH PRO-200 or a Wilson A1000 1786. Bigger side I'd say get a Wilson A2000 1786 or 1716. Rawlings would be a HOH PRO-200 but avoid R2G
@@ballgloveking Thank you!
Just have to say, we invested in the Jax EN-7. It’s OUTRAGEOUS. I don’t mean to be overzealous. It’s stunning. A uniquely deep ish pocket. Fast glove. It’s a fighter.
I literally just bought that buy glove and it came in today so excited
It’s so good bro, have fun!
I can’t believe a professional, like you dip your gloves, and water⁉️
I hope that one day you have your own ball glove company
That would so cool!
Have you ever seen a gamer xle wing tip? I saw you can do that in the Rawlings custom glove creator
I don’t think I’ve ever seen that 🤔
Ok just wondering I thought Rawlings making that a option is pretty cool I looked up online and saw nobody with one even on TH-cam but everything’s on youtube
Can you do Rico gloves?
can you do a max clark glove break in
been seeing that request a good amount lately 🤔
Should do an review of the easton flagship series! Possibly one of the best budget gloves
This honestly solidified my decision, I was looking for an atoms or a ryu outfield glove
glad it helped!
Hey that was a great video. I have a glove that is broken in but no the way that I like. The way the web closes I don’t like. I have tried to fix it myself. Is there anything you could do? I don’t have enough money for it tho😭 Thanks.
don't give up on it bro! using water will help fix any mistakes you've made in the past
I just bought a new baseball glove and I watched a couple of your break in videos like the one where you tried the new warm water technique and it worked perfectly. Thank you.
YOU ARE WELCOME!
Not me ordering the Jax glove on the highway on my way home from work, I’m def gonna be sending it in for the break-in service
You sir are my favorite person rn 🫡😂
Needed an otfielder glove so i Bought a Wilson A2K 1810 partially because of your video. Looking forward to your next video featuring the 1810.
love the 1810
I have a problem with dipping the glove. If you get water in the finger stalls, it is almost impossible to get them to dry out completely. You are much better off pouring hot water over the outer shell and pocket/palm and keep water out of the inside of the glove.
Or, do absolutely none of this nonsense and just use the glove. Guaranteed to break it in AND form to your hand.
it'll dry, I give about 48 hours to let it fully dry
Mr Mikey sir. Just a suggestion but maybe consider not making controversial comments on topics you are not educated in. With that being said, using your glove is a great way to break a glove in. Using the water dip method helps you reach the point of using a glove sooner.
Have a splendid day Mr.
I agree with allowing the leather to dry for at least 48 hours. The problem with dipping is that most modern day gloves have a lot of man made materials (i.e. foam, felt, etc.) that are very difficult to get dried in 48 hours. I have been repairing and breaking in gloves for the last 40 years. While I agree that wetting the leather using hot water is probably the fastest way to mold the pocket, form other aspects of the glove and loosen up the lacing, I wouldn’t recommend dipping modern gloves.
NEED more videos on japanese catchers mitts, I've seen some videos and they pop really loudly
how long of lace strand do i need to relace a2000
You should review wagyu jb gloves. The Trevor Bauer glove.
Yes!
QUESTION? Japanese rubber ball vs hard ball glove?
While on the topic of Japanese gloves, would you be willing to do a video on the rubberball HoH/Pro Preferred Rawlings Japan Spec gloves? Would be interesting to see just how different they are from the HoH/PP we’re used to
Missing the softball content 😢
Can you compare 44 crown tip vs Rawlings wingtip
Can you do a video on how to relace an old glove + how to break in a stiff Rev 1 X? God bless
Sadly relacing is really complicated and can’t be wrapped up into one video. Maybe I can do a relacing tips video though.
@@ballgloveking Could you give me some pointers on how to break in a really stiff Rev 1 X
It bothers me that you don’t keep the glove open before catching the ball.
Bad habit 🤷♂️
Have you tried a pro preferred catchers mitt? They are so good. I have the gameday 57 Tucker Barnhart
PP are great 👌
Test out a 661 glove pro . My friend just ordered one. I never heard of them . They sell kip leather gloves on the affordable side
i have a all star catchers mitt it’s broken in enough to squeeze it but it doesn’t close even i need help how to re shape it so it closes even not like a infielders glove
Really enjoy your videos and just realized that we live fairly close to each other. I hope we can meet at some point.
Just bought a rev 1 x because of your videos. Thank you so much for putting out this glove content
Hope you enjoy it bro!!
How would you go about breaking it in? I know you said that it comes pretty broken in, but would you just play catch? Thanks for the help!
If you want to Wilson to be bigger and wider by 11.75.
Great video. My son is a 2nd baseman, age 13 and he really wants a custom glove, should I get my kid the Japanese select or the pro 44 ? Appreciate any advice!!
Where can I get the a2000 and it’s facts I’m a freshman at Dutch fork and all I do in class is watch you and customize glove I can’t buy💀
justgloves.com my guy
Thanks for the info. Was looking into buy a glove so no i have direction 🤝
Bro I like the 44 pro glove but when. I got one for my birthday it was to big and just falls off my hand
Also I got the same glove you shot
sick glove design my guy!
That's sad though man. Have you tried tightening the wrist laces?
you can tighten the wrist strap
@@Bitzerrrthere is no strap
@@Shorty_baseball which model did you get?
Ayyy nice video bgk ❤
Can you do a video on how Jose Bautista wore his glove
Quality wise, how do Jax gloves comparing to wilson A2000/A2k and Rawlings HOH/Pro-Preferred?
Same quality or better. The more time I’ve spent with the glove the more I’ve enjoyed it
What about the a2k isn’t it made in Japan and has Japanese kip leather
Is there any difference between the Rawlings cm 33 catchers mit and the Gary Sanchez model and if there is which is better
Sanchez is 33.5" so it's just half an inch bigger
Can you do a first base glove version I’m in the market for a new one and thinking getting a Japanese one would be cool
Not a bad idea!!
Congrats on your channel continuing to grow. Not surprised at all after I saw your shirt…JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY. Yes sir. Keep rolling Chris.
After the water treatment did you let it sit for a couple days to completely dry out or did you use it at all during that time?
So I dip it then do a bunch of mallet work and hand work with it.
After that it dries for 48 hours before touching it again
since u showed it and i think theres a vid yet, is there gonna be a The Glove Lab glove review coming soon?
Where do I cop the religious merch? The shirts you always wear are awesome
That Jax JDM made glove looks solid, want the OF model! Question is what factory is making these?
As someone in private equity/VC and a glove nerd, going to a price point north of $400 this early will not fare well for this brand. I don't know the margins to be had but I'm taking bets
I ordered a custom 'Nine Baseball' Korean glove that should be arriving in 3 weeks. Have you heard of them? Would love a review.
I have a yabai its amazing
what do you think about it? and doest it compare to a A2000 or heart of the hide
Could you make a video about the buckler Heritage pro pls. I’m thinking of buying one but I don’t now if it’s good so could you pls review it 🙃
So you’re not using Sarna anymore? You’re using ball players balm?
Is the difference between a hoh and a pro preferred really worth 80-100 dollars?
It’s confusing but that isn’t the right comparison.
It’s more like the difference between a 44 and a HOH. The difference isn’t the leather it’s the quality in all the materials used + how it’s put together
I had a question I broke in my glove two in the pinky and it closes but when I try to close my glove the traditional way it’s still stiff and doesn’t close easily does that mean my glove is still not broken in?
Can I still use the warm water method if I have used the glove before???
No majorly just like in catch
It’s definitely possible. Just clean off the glove as best as possible. You don’t want it to be too dirty or gross
@@ballgloveking thanks
Also love the vids
Hey Chris! Love the videos. Is there anyway I could email a question?
Yeah man! I try my best to keep up with the questions.
thechrisbangert@gmail.com
@@ballgloveking thanks! I sent my question
Bout to have to restock on glove conditioner. Should I go for the ballplayers brand over Sarna? Haven't heard you talk much about Sarna lately
I’d go with BPB, what I’ve learned is that BPB is actually better for the leather. With that being said conditioning your glove is better than not doing it at all!
What was it about Sarna that turned you away somewhat? I read up on the ingredients in Sarna and I am not too keen on the DMDM Hydantoin in it.
Suggestion on a Jax pattern for slowpitch
Can we get an update on pro 44
How would you compare a Nokona bloodline vs one of the Japan gloves here?
Hey Chris I just got a 11.75 pro preferred and the break in so far is great. I noticed the palm is really thin, are they all like this?
Have you ever reviewed an SSK Pro edge?
So did you do mallet work on the Japanese glove while it was wet or after it dried? I’m confused 😂
while it's wet! and then a small amount more after it is dry
@@ballgloveking ok, thank you! I’m doing this 😊
I cannot find the glove list on your website. Is it not on there anymore?
What happened to the glove list?
Website is being updated, it’s coming back!
So wanted to order something to get in on this giveaway,could really use a new glove to catch for my 4 year old triplets as well as my 8 year old and his ball team I'm helping coach,I love what your doing fantastic videos and repping jesus in the process.we will definitely keep watching the videos! As soon as I Can I will be ordering something to rep for you here in alabama
What do you think is the best glove for a 8 year old, infielder?
I hate to break it to you, but I believe that your glove is a 12.25. I looked it up on the website that’s why it’s so much bigger than your Wilson. Wilson doesn’t feel small. Your Jack is just big. And there’s no writing on the glove like other baseball gloves. So it doesn’t say, the size. Try and look at your receipt or just go look at the website. It’s a 12.25.
Should I use the hot water treatment on a black 44 pro?
u should review a korean baseball glove
How does that Japanese glove compare to 44 Japanese select?
44 Japan select is not Japanese. It’s shaped like a Japanese glove which is cool but it has no other similarities to Japanese glove’s. This Jax is far better in overall quality
How did the jax glove compare to one of your real Japanese gloves?
So this Jax is a real Japanese glove and it shows. It’s one of the best gloves I own.
To be clear Jax is an American brand who found a Japanese manufacturer
Looking for your insight on Rawlings GG. ELITE. NO I KNOW ITS NOT A $300 GL9VE IT IS BLACK BLONDE.
How does this glove compare to Mizuno in terms of comfort compared to a Mizuno pro or a pro preferred? Also, is an American custom Mizuno lower quality than a Japanese custom Mizuno?
Do you have experience with ambidextrous pitching gloves? I bought a rawlings gamer ambidextrous glove for $120 plus tax and shipping which the price wasn't bad but wasn't happy with the pattern. The webbing is right in the middle while i noticed wilson and 44 has webbing on each side of the middle. It is designed to form 2 pockets. Do you know any other patterns or options?
🤘🤘 Thank you!
Great glove 👏👏
What’s the best baseball glove brand in your opinion
There’s so many bro!
I think it’s best to learn what your favorite pattern is not necessarily the brand. Like if you love a one hinge flat glove. There’s a ton of glove brands that will have a glove you love
Have you ever reviewed a warstic glove?
Great vid man congrats on the break in service.I started to make custom glove stands for gloves. I have a video on them.thank's for your time hope you see this.
Do you think the mizuno franchise is a good glove to buy
great glove for the price!
Hey if you don't want the Wilsons anymore I ll take them off your hands😂
Do you still like/trust Sarna conditioner? I know you work with ballplayer balm but would like to know cuz I just got a new glove and a still half full bottle of sarna lol
Have you ever gotten your hands on a 44 catchers mitt? I'd be curious your opinion before pulling the trigger on a custom for my son.
IMO, 44 quality is very inconsistent. I have three 44 gloves (pitcher, outfielder, and a catchers mitt). From a scale from one to ten (ten being perfection), the outfielder glove is an eight/nine, the pitcher's glove is a six/seven and the catchers mitt is a two (nearly unusable). Since Pro44 gloves are customized, I don't think I can return the catchers mitt for refund. To minimize risks, I will be sticking with the major glove brands (Wilson, Rawlings, etc.). Best wishes to you in your glove search.
Can u do a review on grace gloves
Where do you find/get Jax Gloves?
jax has a website but they mainly sell batting gloves so it might be confusing
@@ballgloveking thanks I found it and they were out of all gloves.
how do you get Japanese Mizuno glove
Mizuno often does limited drops
what happened to the glove list?
Had to remake the entire website so I’m currently recreating the glove list 👌
@@ballgloveking thank you i was looking for it yesterday trying to find it for catchers gloves. keep up the good work i love the channel and watch every video
Yo bro u is the guy I was looking for bro ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ yo pause but ya
Has it beat any gloves on your website for best by position ?
Making a video addressing that VERY soon!
Im a middle school player in japan i have a zett
Question do you like the Kershaw a2000?
