The heel pad thing is just because it’s an outfield glove. That’s pretty standard. Thanks for doing a video on the obsidian. I’m expecting mine in the next few weeks and it’s cool to know what to expect. Also I’d probably nab a zip up with your logo if you started making them.
It’s interesting about the heel pad, I just got a new one from them as well and it feels very thin. They also missed a small detail on mine. They noted that it would be added, and it never showed up with the glove. I reached out to them and apparently they’re going to have it remade and sent back out.
Don’t tell them about it. They will block you. Just have to take the L and move on. Their quality control has been slipping since the brand has exploded and they haven’t hired great employees to keep up.
@@stephendre2902, thats terrible advice. if you reach out via email they will try to fix it, and typically do a great job of that. Benny is also another guy you can contact about it and will probably help you out with getting it remade
i have a 12.5 outfield glove and my heel pad is actually pretty thick. it was to the point where it took me 3+ months of catching and pounding to get it broke in completely
I was thinking about getting a 44 outfield custom glove as well as Rawlings heart of the hide I had a Wilson glove before a ultimately made the decision to go back to Rawlings heart of the hide considering one of my first gloves I had as a kid was a Rawlings
Awesome to see the family again! Always makes me smile when I see a CB video in my subscriptions. Maybe we can collab sometime? Happy holidays to you and your family!
Love the videos Chris. I have a Rawlings pro issue Cory Seager model, it came with the bubbles in the palm lining like your talking about. When i reached out to Rawlings i was told it wasn't a defect and that the leather will stretch and that will go away. Still frustrating though. Love the videos keep them coming brother.
I was blocked from 44s Instagram for simply stating they aren’t as good as an A2000 or Rawlings Heart Of the Hide when they claim to be as good as A2Ks or Pro Preffered. I’ve bought three. I enjoy customizing for the price but honestly they just aren’t up to par with all of the major brands. I use an Easton Small Batch glove cowboy edition and Rawlings TT02 this season. And they both blow 44 out of the water. My next will be a custom Mariucci. After getting my glove cowboy small batch I’m convinced everything that dude does is gold.
Yeah I get that, the major companies are sorta just on another level. 44 is still a super young company and they are doing great in light of that. But yeah, if you want the best glove possible you can simply pay more and get a Rawlings, Wilson, and yeah I think you’re right. Marucci is making some great gloves
I with u bro , I hate when ppl say 44 is just as good as Rawlings or Wilson, it’s ridiculous, if ordered 4 44’s 2 were good they other 2 was pure trash 🤷🏽♂️
I actually love the fact that 44 has very thin heels , way easier to break in and why would anyone want a thick heel pad . Wilson and Rawlings are now offering the option to have a standard or thin heel on the customs
@@chasecarter7421 Funny that also as as an infielder, I hate having a thick heel pad because the ball bounces too much off it. The fields we play on mean you always get the worst hops so you rarely get to field perfectly in the palm. Maybe it's also a small hand thing.
The 44 back of the glove may be alligator skin, Lizard skin, Snake skin. Those type of leathers are easy to crease and are really smooth the front of the glove may be kip or steer hide unless yeah like you said there using cheaper leather and cheaper leather may be pigskin or deerskin but they are really soft leathers, Thank you for this review bro
i bought a custom 44 and a custom rawlings. I like the rawlings glove but they are so plain with their presentation. I know they are good but some customer appreciate would be nice. I bought a custom liberty I get its the 3rd tier down but can they treat the ladies better. Didn't come with a tag just wrapped in a plastic bag and put in a raggidy rawlings box. Not like the Pro or hide. They come in a box and has a color leather tag. Ladies custom gets nothing. Custom 44 may not be the best but they show some customer appreciation. I got tags a personalized bag. Plus Rawlings screwed up my order. They put the wrong wristliner. That mistake cost them 20% off the glove.
Only if it’s actual leather, snakeskin, paisley or other leathers with a print in them probably won’t accept the conditioner very well but it shouldn’t cause any harm
As a dad looking for my forever glove over the past two months and finally pulling the trigger on a 44 this past weekend w/ the Father’s Day sale, I’m regretting it already. Haha Should have went w/ my gut and got the Rawlings custom! Let’s see how much use the 44 gets, then I’ll be able to justify the Rawlings. Love your videos, man. Keep them coming!
I got a super thin heel pad in my 44 I got awhile back too and I don’t know why. The second outfield glove from them and it was way thinner than the first. Think they switched to the thin. Not a fan
It feels great actually, I haven’t gotten to use it long term obviously but if you’re interested I would recommend it. Only down side is the creasing but once you break it in and use it that really doesn’t matter
the Rawlings looks 12.5 inches, and im a little surprised you didnt get a 12.5 inch for an infield glove. also a good tip is when getting a 44, you have to go to the outfield section to get 12.5 inches or bigger, and outfield gloves are narrow, so look at other brands first who offer a 12.5 inch infield glove
44 does a decent job of "borrowing" some of the best features of more known brands. I wish they would adopt the thumb padding and the 2 in the pink finger shift option. I already ordered 2 44's, one for me and one for my nephew, if they get those new features I'd order 2 on the next sale.
I bought two 44 Gloves and they will not fit on my hand....a wooden spoon handle will not go in the fingers, but 44 Gloves says they are mine now. I threw them away.

I’d be very interested in getting something with the CB brand on it.

Did you have to send the defect back or could you keep it?
When I ordered my glove it didn't come with the finger pad so I think 44 is having trouble with the orders.
Don’t tell them about it. They will block you. Just have to take the L and move on. Their quality control has been slipping since the brand has exploded and they haven’t hired great employees to keep up.
Haha I don’t think he would get blocked, you really should reach out to them. My experience has been great customer service
@@ballgloveking were your custom 44 gloves good quality with all the colors and stuff
Yes my overall experience from like 10 different gloves has been great
@@stephendre2902, thats terrible advice. if you reach out via email they will try to fix it, and typically do a great job of that. Benny is also another guy you can contact about it and will probably help you out with getting it remade
To be honest, I am a regular watcher, but I probably wouldn’t get merch, just because i don’t have a bunch extra money laying around. Great vid bro!
I appreciate the honesty!
Daddy bangert is literally now a daddy
Chris, I recently got my 44 and I found out about them because of your videos. Thanks!
Same

Have you any info or evaluation of Relentless Sports custom gloves or Diamond custom gloves?
give 44 some time they will be up there sitting along side rawlings.
Awesome to see the family again! Always makes me smile when I see a CB video in my subscriptions. Maybe we can collab sometime? Happy holidays to you and your family!
Collab needs to happen soon
Yay Ruth!! 🥰

Both great gloves. Not about the color ways but still a fan of the build. Love u vids.❤️
Thanks bro!
Would love to buy merch!! Just can’t afford..
Oof how far you have come!! Love the content my friend, keep up the great work!!
That glove reminds me of Sally from nightmare before Christmas
Congrats on ur daughter Chris, good stuff

As an infielder, I like a thicker heel pad because it dampens the bounce on ground balls that hit off it so I can get the ball into my hand faster

Chris comin at us with that monthly content

Super hyped I got to be apart of getting u ur new glove
I got a custom rawling heart of hide and they are truely amazing gloves
the last 44 I got in had a really thin heel pad also... was pretty disappointed bc my first two were amazing
Hey Chris! You know I'd get your merch in a hot second lol. Loved this vid man, glad to see you and your family are doing well! :)
If you have one what's your opinion about custom wilson gloves?
You should compare a Wilson a2000,44 glove,and a Rawlings heart of the hide
i like the narrow feeling gloves like 44 Pro has but Rawlings wide heel gloves look nicer when unboxing the glove or on the shelf
I’m a traditionalist and prefer just a regular glove all one color but only tans, browns, and black.
I like the 44
Congrats on your daughter! I wish you snd your channel the best!
Would you compare the obsidian to rawlings hyper shell?
Yes 100% I’d honestly say the Rawlings hyper shell is a little bit nicer but there isn’t a dramatic difference
How did you put Ruth on the inside on the website there is no where to put stuff in the wrist
In the builder it is “palm text” its a little confusing but that’s the inside of the palm
Ohh ok thanks
Where did you make the inside of the wrist pink for the 44
There an option called “kip palm liner” and to be able to choose color you need to choose that
I think my kp92 a2k was designed for two in the pinky and It’s been great as my outfield glove
Yeah that’s a solid model!
If you collabed with 44 to make custom batting gloves, or a sleeve would be amazing
Should you apply glove rub/ conditioner to other types like snakeskin, obsidian, etc?
Only if it’s actual leather, snakeskin, paisley or other leathers with a print in them probably won’t accept the conditioner very well but it shouldn’t cause any harm

I just ordered one in the same sale. If you watch all the other 44 pro videos you'll find much more glowing reviews from Chris.
@@olivershore4604 thanks! I’ll make sure to check them out.
ah don't worry. gives you a reason to buy another and a rawlings. ;)
negative for rawlings- 500 dollars
Can you do a review of a Marucci C-mod? Their "Shift," version of C-mod is a two-in-the-pinky orientation.
I plan to sometime this year, I’ll try to get in contact with the guys over there
Man I love your videos
Thank you!
I think some of the Marucci's have a 2 in the pinky design in their C-MOD series.
Love your glove
how come i cant find obsidian on the builder?
I got a super thin heel pad in my 44 I got awhile back too and I don’t know why. The second outfield glove from them and it was way thinner than the first. Think they switched to the thin. Not a fan
How much do you enjoy the obsidian shell? Thinking about getting a new custom with it on it, do you honestly recommend it?
It feels great actually, I haven’t gotten to use it long term obviously but if you’re interested I would recommend it. Only down side is the creasing but once you break it in and use it that really doesn’t matter
@@ballgloveking Ok thanks bro!
i literally just ordered my glove yesterday & we went with exact same colour way no white tho. sexy scheme baby
the Rawlings looks 12.5 inches, and im a little surprised you didnt get a 12.5 inch for an infield glove. also a good tip is when getting a 44, you have to go to the outfield section to get 12.5 inches or bigger, and outfield gloves are narrow, so look at other brands first who offer a 12.5 inch infield glove
Just curious, what custom web did you request?
Dude I have been waiting for a new video I have been watching all your new videos and watching the video with glovetrader77 also I love your glove
I got a heart of the hide on a sale at my local sporting goods shop for $200, which pushed me away from 44 pro
That’s a fantastic deal
I wouldn’t get the obsidian or that color way I honestly think the Rawlings one wins but other 44s are good
He doesn't mention that the 44Pro is 1/2 the price
Congrats on your baby bro
Have you tried the Rawlings 208 pattern? …something tells me a 12.5” PRO200 would feel amazing for softball.
That’s my gamer right now and I highly recommend it. Even if it’s another brand I just advise using 12.5 for middle infield
@@ballgloveking I had no idea, just found the video where you announced it, that's sick!
@@ballgloveking this is the one I'm about to order through a rep smashitsports.gloves.custom.rawlings.com/design/4913567c, can't wait!
Yes a hoodie
Cute beeb
what web did you want on the 44?
It’s basically the same as the T web but with twice as much lace throughout the web
@@ballgloveking I would’ve went ballistic!!!! They couldn’t email you and tell you they couldn’t make the web ?
@@ballgloveking I would’ve went ballistic!!!! They couldn’t email you and tell you they couldn’t make the web?

You make some good points, I’d love to see some more changes to the actual design of the glove like you said
they just added the thumb padding to their standard store gloves, and i think you can special request it now
I’d wear one with just the small logo
is a 44 post web durable?
What's funny is both of those gloves are made in the same factory 😂😂
How long did it take to get it after you placed your order?
My favorite customs are Marucci and Wilson
i’m looking at marucci should i get a 44 custom or a marruci custom?
I would love merch! I sweatshirt would be nice
I would want a shirt with a photo of all you gloves
Have you tried a Rolin/ Barraza glove?
I noticed my 44 came with that heel pad issue
i think all 44 outfield glove come with thin heel pads tbh
I wanna see a baseball sleeve or a hoodie with your TH-cam picture
how long does the custom 44 take to come
Yes
Videos r amazing always I got a 44 and I’m my opinion it was horrible but I’m getting a coustom hoh so excited for that
Haha well I’m sure you’re gonna love that hoh! And thanks!
I just ordered a 44 glove how long do they take to ship ?
Close to 2 months
You should start playing slowpitch competitively it’s fun, tournement ball is a whole new world and you’d be good
i wanna see a video of him giving fastpitch a try
It’s really cool but I bet it’s gonna be hard to break in
I just ordered my first 44 which will be my first real pro glove I’m so excited does anyone know just about how long it takes for it to come in?
assuming youve had the glove for 6 months, how has the glove been?
3/4 sleeves 🔥🔥
what do you think about marucci's custom glove?
I haven’t gotten my hands on one yet, when I do there most definitely gonna be a video on it, I have heard great things though from other people
Yes merch
Great video Christian. 👍🤘🤙👌
Omg so precious.🤗👶🏻
Omg baby Chris :’)

True
you get updates on 44 gloves when you don’t with Rawings
I bought two 44 Gloves and they will not fit on my hand....a wooden spoon handle will not go in the fingers, but 44 Gloves says they are mine now. I threw them away.
U trying get rid of any I really need a 12.75 or 13
