I just found your channel when I was looking for "how to break in a glove". Saw one of your first videos, which was on that topic. Then I watched this video. Dude...I couldn't believe it was the same guy! Your first videos were fine...great info. But seriously, your production value now is outstanding! God bless you as you keep up the great work.
@@ballglovekingdo it. I look for softball glove reviews for my 10u daughter, and almost every single one that says “review” is just some marketing guy from an online retailer saying the same features script that’s on the website
Thank you for these catching videos. Been spot on with my experience. Most importantly, you are finished taking down to yourself, humility is cherished but you are amazing and kids, including mine rely on you for being one of the best baseball channels around. You shape the way the way these kids think and know you are great for anyone that loves baseball. Keep the confidence as it is most deserved for the time, effort and qualify you put into these vids. Keep em coming. Nike sha do next please 😅. (Borrow mine if needed)
This comment hits deep man, I cannot thank you enough for your kind words. I really appreciate you and your family 🙏 I’ll have to make the Nike review happen
I got a 34’ Rawlings CM34 model, pro preferred. It’s a great mitt. Honestly I think most mitts can work, it’s just a matter of how you break it in and the style you go for. I do recommend everyone do 2 in the ring regardless of mitt and size
To add onto this, I would advise you get a HoH instead of Pro Preffered. My mitt has taken me around a year of on and off work to get game ready. It’s a pain
OMG you go 2 in the ring finger too?? I thought I was the only one hahah I love that! I never liked to in the pink cuz it felt like I didn't have control. The 2 in the ring saved my index haha. Great video as always!!
I love all star, but rawlings has something that makes me prefer it, heart of the hide or pro preferred in my personal opinion and as a professional player it is better than allstar, more comfortable, more accessible to the wallet and more durable, a video about those Japanese gloves from catcher would be the best to meet them, great video as always, love this
i remember All star in highschool i had there gear mainly but not the gloves i always felt the Allstar gloves where kinda stiff but. Some of the models def are nice just those are a lot of money. I just ended up using a rawling R2G and heart of hide pro. Both where great gloves and way softer then the Allstar gloves especially after a short break in or some break in liquid.
I recently started to care more about baseball, but my question is: does it matter what glove you use for each break-in (and if it does, how do I know what mitt I should use for that specific break-in)
Wish you would review a ssk catchers mitt, my kid is dead set on one for next season but I can't find reviews on them vs a comparable Wilson or Rawlings
I agree but for a lot of it it’s very personal I can’t really measure how good a ball is being caught. There are some small things that would make sense though so maybe one day 🤔
So we commented in the other 40 vs 400 catcher's mitt video about the issues with the velcro on the gamer XLE closure breaking down / failing. Out of frustration with that issue the other glove that he got to try was the cm33 but in an r2g model. I hear what you're saying about don't get r2g, but for a not big 13 year old, the full blown Heart of the Hide is going to be a tough one, wont it? I hope the r2g can work as a bridge for him.
I saw your other comment just now! that sucks soooo much. I'd say the R2G sounds like a really good option. It just stinks to have to spend more money.
Try working from holding the mitt down towards the turf then up to the ball with the catchers mitts and definitely go to and attack the ball otherwise you get beat with a mitt if just waiting for it. Balls that stayed up like at your chin you nailed but anything lower you went down to and really struggled with taking the mitt down to the ball which everyone does. Can get away with that on fielding gloves but not catcher mitts it'll expose you every time. I think that would get you more consistent with them and maybe have a different opinion on mitts. My son loves his 34" Rawlings PROCM41BCF and I like it a lot but I'm Wilson 33" DPCM guy both boxed. The fingers on the Allstar are just too far apart for us need big hands for them other than that they are nice.
I have a custom acg softball catcher mitt and its so stiff i need to send it in and have it broke in my 11 yr daughter has a matching acg softball glove too its pretty stiff but breaking in nicely but my catcher mitt is just a pain to close
I just got a horween Rawlings cm33 and it’s really stiff is there anything I can do to break it in faster ? My goal is to have it game ready in a couple of months.
I have a catchers glove like the gold one with the rawling but mine is an elite rawling one same exact color and laces but i think it could be the same as the rawling gold one he is using in the video great video though
@@ballgloveking crazy or ugly combination challenge. Can you make something that’s unplayable, like can you do a web that nobody could use or can you make something that could impede your ability to play.

That's so encouraging! My brother has improved the editing so much!!
I don't know anything about catchers mitts, but I will say that All-Star mitt is beautiful.
Dude yes 🙌
Great video. Your wife should make a channel with softball gloves and she should call it the ball glove queen.
🤔
Thanks for the reply love your content
Bro.
Yeah
That would be cool

I’ll have to make the Nike review happen
It would help if you preload or work from the ground up and into the strike zone. All-star catchers mitts are best.
Still trying to make those small adjustments as a very mature catcher so thank you 🙏

Great video as always!

You should check out the Wilson 30 inch Training Catchers Mitt, and the All-Star ''The Pocket'' 27" Catcher's Training Mitt..
What would u say is the best flat break in under 300
i remember All star in highschool i had there gear mainly but not the gloves i always felt the Allstar gloves where kinda stiff but. Some of the models def are nice just those are a lot of money. I just ended up using a rawling R2G and heart of hide pro. Both where great gloves and way softer then the Allstar gloves especially after a short break in or some break in liquid.
Wish I could have gloves like those😢 Love the love for catcher’s mitts
I love your videos I watch them with my family
That makes me very happy! 😃
hey 👋 i have a 44 pro catchers mitt and the ball keeps popping out it is completely broken in do i need to get a new catchers mitt?
I recently started to care more about baseball, but my question is: does it matter what glove you use for each break-in (and if it does, how do I know what mitt I should use for that specific break-in)
I use the red and brown r9 it’s a great glove if you want a good sturdy catchers mitt
I gamed the 130 dollar one it seemed very thin
Wish you would review a ssk catchers mitt, my kid is dead set on one for next season but I can't find reviews on them vs a comparable Wilson or Rawlings
It would be helpful to have a rating chart and rankings like bat bros for comparison.
I agree but for a lot of it it’s very personal

Is 44 the best glove for its price. Is is there better small companies or budget gloves?
Next weeks video…
Can you review a 44 catchers mitt?
Where did you get your huge buckler glove I can’t find that one
Spend the extra 150 dollars and get the all star pro elite 33.5 in the black it’s more durable and I have it and love it

i’m breaking in my pro elite with a box because i feel more confident with it any recommendations on how to do it?
When first base mitts?
What are your thoughts on under armour gloves? I have been looking at them and they don't bad at all
They are just ok, for a similar price you can get a better glove from other brands. Not bad though so if you really like it that's ok!
I only use the cm33 I personally think it makes me play better I have 1000% trust in the glove
Is it Wilson A2K M2 or A2K M23? Thank you!!
Can you do a review with the Rawlings hyper tech gloves?
Could you do a video on fastball catcher gloves?
Bro try to make a 44 pro speed custom and review it. They are actually pretty good.
I already did my guy!
Can we get a video on some Japanese glove brands? (Wagyu JB, World Pegasus, Atoms , etc.) Great content!
I just got a horween Rawlings cm33 and it’s really stiff is there anything I can do to break it in faster ? My goal is to have it game ready in a couple of months.
Just curious, how's that going? I came across that model today, looks awesome and can't beat Horween
You should try out the marruci caddo
Well you like 2 in the pinky, is it weird for me to do 3 in the pinky?😅
I have a catchers glove like the gold one with the rawling but mine is an elite rawling one same exact color and laces but i think it could be the same as the rawling gold one he is using in the video great video though
Can you please review the all star, top star catchers mitt
Just throwing this out, but is that Rawlings really a CM33? That wrist isn’t the same as the CM33’s I’ve seen.
Instead of Rawling CM33, Is that a Gary Sanchez pattern PROGS24 mitt?
As a beginner catcher what recommendations do you have? Btw im 13
You should review a 44 catchers mitt
thanks for keep uploading
Yes sir 🫡
You should break In ssk gloves please
Content idea: build the dumbest looking possible combination glove on Rawlings website and test it
always wanted to make a wild looking glove
@@ballgloveking crazy or ugly combination challenge. Can you make something that’s unplayable, like can you do a web that nobody could use or can you make something that could impede your ability to play.
@@ballglovekingdo it one of the best ideas I have seen in comments
I go 3 in pinky one in the ring
44 catcher glove?
I haven't done an official review but I have never heard anything good about them...
I had one and it was the worst experience of my life with a catcher’s mitt. Go for Rawlings or All-Star please

Yo!, do you live In Chicago?
