The Rawlings REV1X was $400 and that's a lot of dough! Watch the whole video to get my full opinion. My thoughts were everywhere when I was breaking this glove in. At first I loved it then I hated it then I fell somewhere in the middle. Although it was easier to find problems with the glove it is 100% a high quality glove. Plus it's really cool to see how different this is compared to normal ball gloves.
Thanks for watching guys!

The fact that it squeaks like a plastic glove from Target is priceless! 😂
Lol I know that’s pretty disappointing
@@ballgloveking Not surprised whatsoever though lol I contacted them about getting like dual or hand sewn welting in a custom glove and all they could say was if it's not in the glove builder can't do it lol Their lack of personalization is laughable. Yet they'll sell a glove on their site with both dual and hand sewn welting for a 100$ less than a custom HOH. Can get a glove made in the U.S from Nokona for half the cost....smh
Most gloves do tho even my new one and it kinda sucks 😂
@@NomaDL2224I’m late but Rawlings glove builder sucks you get like 5 different color choices of leather which really sucks
Question- Is the glove worth it for $220?
me: “but that’s an outfield glove, i play infield” chris: just shut up, ok?
As a product designer and developer, I'm surprised Rawlings went this route to actually market an "innovative" glove. A baseball glove is one of those products that feels like trying to reinvent the wheel when approaching a new design/material. At the end of the day, it's still a ball glove. And when you wake up in the morning, full leather will always be the true, preferred ball glove as it has been for centuries. New technology will never surpass the tradition on this one. I bet the player who liked it so much so quickly got a pretty check under the table.
I couldn’t agree more, it’s nice to entertain the idea but leather will always win in the end
Centuries?
@@ballglovekingWhat's your take on Wilson superskin? Those gloves feel cheap compared to the all leather A2ks/A2000s, but I guess if the superskin is supposed to last longer and be lighter, then why not
This was a hell of a review. Brutally honest. Loved it
As cool as it looks, $400 is just a lot to spend on a cool looking glove. If I’m paying big money, I’m going to get a custom leather glove that will last me a long time and be proven technology that has worked for years upon years.
True true true
I’ll take your word for it over Lindor and half the MLB guys wearing it 🥴
@@jd0192 you got it bro
Thanks for the great content every week!
I feel like Rawlings is trying to cut cost nowadays with the plastic back and the hyper shell stuff, looks quite cheap tbh. I think 400 bucks should be for a luxurious full Leather glove.
Yes! Just like the Rawlings primo, that glove was purely luxurious leather so it made sense to pay more money
Well supply chain costs are increasing so to limit the price increases on their gloves its either 1; Raise prices 2; Find a way to make them at a cheaper cost
@@fishygaming9907 looks like they did both at the same time lol, this plastic glove costs 400.
Rawlings is one of the biggest leather tanneries in America... The MLB balls will never change from leather and Rawlings is likely gonna hold that contact for the league until the end of time, its not about cutting material cost, its always easy to think that a company is just cutting corners to save a buck and that is true that companies do that all the time.
but for a company like Rawlings that owns there own leather tanneries sourcing hides isnt vary costly to them at all and if im not mistaken Rawlings actually sells hides to various other companies so the cost of producing leather hides isnt an issue at all for Rawlings when there making money off of excess and making money from the products they produce out of the leather themselves.
The fact is that Rawlings is still the biggest name in gloves, if anyone is gonna innovate and reinvent the baseball glove it would be Rawlings, the fact is Rawlings has the money to waste on research and development of products outside the box, that other smaller and less historically significant brands simply cant afford.
For baseball purest the all leather pro preferred and HOH gloves are always gonna be the way to go, but for a young highschool or college kid that wants to look cool and flashy on the field and isnt concerned with glove performance/durability as much, the Rawlings Rev gloves might be for them.
Outfield gloves are big and heavy! I have no doubt that elite Rawlings athletes have expressed a desire for a lighter glove hence Rawlings development of the hyper shell and rev series of gloves...
are they really what players desire though?... i dont think so, i dont think they truly meet the demands and abuse of elite players gear...
my point though is that, I dont think Rawlings is sitting there thinking how can we cheapen our high end gloves, how can we take our gloves that are the standard among elite players/worn by more MLB players then any other brand and make it less expensive to create... the fact they needed to likely create all new machines and/or outsource the plastic materials likely takes away significant cost savings youd think theyre making from the Rev series
but I do think Rawlings is asking themselves how can we increase performance of our products for elite players... and weight savings happens to be a factor for all high level sport equipment. so its no surprise that Rawlings the biggest name in baseball would be experimenting and thinking outside the box when it comes to product development.
And lets not forget, a few years ago Rawlings had a strangle hold on the industry basically Rawlings and Wilson were the only brands making high end elite level leather gloves... but now you got a hand full of small brands making really good gloves not to mention what the glove cowboy has done to revamp the glove departments of brands like Easton and Matucci...
Simply put Rawlings aint the only gloves in town anymore and theyre looking for ways to separate themselves from the rest of the pack again... and again Rawlings can afford the research and development cost of new "innovative" products that none of the others companies really can.
@@fishygaming9907 Rawlings is one of Americas largest leather tanneries, back in the day Rawlings use to use the legendary Horween leather which is Americas oldest tannery but for years now Rawlings has owned and operated there own tanneries and even sell off excess to other companies (outside of baseball)... the hyper shell and Rev series of gloves likely cost Rawlings more money to make as they actually likely have to source the materials from other companies and possibly have to create new tooling machines, hire and/or re train workers for the new products.
Heres a thought... maybe Rawlings is the biggest name in baseball and can afford research and development that most other companies cant... maybe like in every other sport the reduction of equipment weight happens to be a performance benefit to the elite players using the equipment... maybe Rawlings and Wilson arent the only two elite level high end leather gloves on the market anymore these days, maybe Rawlings is looking to separate themselves from the rest of the pack and regain market shares by innovating in ways other baseball companies simply cant.
Are the hyper shell or rev series of gloves for me? not at all, but I welcome the innovation from Rawlings and maybe theyll eventually make the perfect light weight elite level glove, until then ill stick to my pro preferred and HOH's but ill continue to pay attention to rawlings latest and greatest "high tech" offerings and maybe theyll strike gold eventually by creating a new glove standard for elite players.
CONGRATS ON 8K🙏🏽!!
Okay wow I really enjoyed this style of video :,) Please do more like these! Also would like to see this glove again after some time!
You’ll see it in a little while!
Nice review, thanks. I am disappointed that Rawlings has discontinued its Gold Glove Series. I think most people prefer the traditional style glove rather than these new-fangled, flashy, colorful gloves. I hope Rawlings will bring back the Gold Glove Series soon.
Hopefully they do!
Ok the only thing I don't understand is how you don't have wayyyyyyyyyy more subs. You are funny and know what you're talking about. Glad I found your channel bro!
I know right! Lol jk thank you though, I appreciate that
This trend has been happening in the market by several of the big label brands. They have been substituting plastic for leather on the back of their gloves, and marketing it as "innovative".
If we used plastic instead of leather, the gloves would cost us much less to make. It is also costing them much less to make, and instead of lowering the price, they raise it! Great marketing scheme if they can get the ball players to buy into it.
For Tigress... we will stick to leather.
Great review Chris!
I know isn’t it crazy! It makes no sense, Olay the end of the day leather will always be on top!
@@ballgloveking nothing better than real leather! You can care for it better, form it better, and it feels better. Quality leather is the only way to go!
They did the same thing with soccer cleats. It worked. Hopefully baseball doesn't fall for it.
I’m gonna stick with my pure 44 signature series. But it’s innovative
Me too
great that u changed the channel title
looking forward to ur glove videos and glove related stuff only lol
To me, it looks like a new mesh the Rawlings just slap on a glove. Also, we don't know how it going to be in the later use of the glove so i might look good when you first get but when you use the glove when it starts to become flat and like a pancake. Just my option I don't think it will be worth getting it because when you pay 400$ for a glove you want what you paid for and idk If I would but that glove for that price but that's my option.
Chris... The bat bros mentioned you in a stream
Great upload!
I'm interested in the durability. Like to see how they hold up.
Rawlings is mostly a Chinese company, they make everything there and design almost everything. No surprise that they are trying to make more profit with a plastic glove.
This gonna be good
Yessir
My son and I love our Rev1x
Great video!! You made some very valid points. I felt the same way about the glove tbh, I just wish I had more info on it when I reviewed it.
Yeah bro makes sense, but it was also sick that you had it so early!
Definitely! I only got to borrow it but glad I did because I didn’t have to pay $400. On behalf of myself and all other glove nerds, we appreciate your large donation😂
Great Video!!! They will never be taking my money!!!🤑
If you're not subscribed? Frick you! Love it 🤘
I'm shocked at the cost. Feels like the materials cost savings from going to high-quality leather
Respect for the #51 McGee jersey
I love this channel
I’ve played Nakona gloves forever and not gonna lie. I tried the infield version of this and……. It felt really nice. All that being said I’m a pitcher so yeah, I don’t need the same thing out if a glove a a SS, or base position. I do worry about all the plastic stuff though.
Good input, it all comes down to preference in the end
You should definitely invest on an infield model!
The rev1x looks sick
That’s true
the sweet justice is priceless
Lolol
Just got a2000 tips for breaking in
It’s good to not squeeze the glove shut until it’s can easily close on its own, so use a mallet or just your hands to start breaking in the important parts like the heel of the glove.
If that’s confusing just go watch my break in video on my channel
th-cam.com/video/r_jjKTTI6s8/w-d-xo.html
you should try out the cb44 for your next 44 glove
if you ever do a glove review again can you please do the Arizona gloveman custom glove co. next i have one and i have used it for over 4 years and it still feels like its been broke in for a month i love it and its 100% authentic leather
and its about the same price as 44
Marketing ain’t gonna save Rawlings on this one.
conditioner will help break in the glove
you should get a infield version and do a review on it
Cheaper to make, and bringing in more profit. Another gimmick. This was a great vid
I don’t understand how you aren’t the face of 44. The dude that is is a very hard person to watch all his movements are robot like it’s very scripted and just feels like I’m watching a 7th grader BS his way though a school project. The only reason I’ve bought 6 44 gloves going on 7 is because of you. So thanks
No Problem my guy!
sweet angels hat
Heart of the hide, if buying new, if not, I search for used gloves from the 80's that are still great condition, and redo everything on them. Full grain leather for me. None of this plastic/mesh or 1mm thick leather glued to foam. Yuck.
Don’t think it will last. The elastic won’t age well and you’ll be stuck with a paperweight ala the sweatband debacle
it has been a year....lets come back to the Rev1x...
Chris don't be mad... but I was taking a nap and missed the premier :(
So disappointed lol
the monkey bars cracked me up
if it was authentic naugahyde....maybe.....then again I read an article about endangered naugas....possibly vintage nauga
I just looked up naugahyde… thank you
I like the new channel name
Thank you sir
I'm still using the $30 wilson glove I got in jr high.
I'm 40 playing 2-3 games a week.
2:10 he really got them crocenstocks
I’m calling them crocenstocks now that’s legendary
My adult league teammate had an infield model. I thought it was a kids glove.
model with finger pad will not slip bro also lindor use like that
is it okay to have creases in your glove?
btw your mentioned at about 6 minutes into there August 25 stream
Ayyyy let’s gooo
The mvp select walk so the rev x could run
I'll save $350 and get there Rawlings glove with the checkered webbing lol
Two years ago I wonder if the glove is still being used and if there’s any change of opinion after time passed. 🤔
I’m just gonna stay with the a2000 😂
can you do a video on how francisco lindor breaks in his glove
Hi god bless have a good one.
You too
It’s all about the Outfielders bra
Been waiting for the outro song is it coming back? Lol
I love the outro too bro! I’ll bring it back next upload just for you
@@ballgloveking sweeet 🙌🏼
It’s cheap looking it looks like a tee ball glove… gotta hit that thing with some wD40
Hi
Can you buy a Warstic glove so I don't have to? Wondering how they feel and break in.
Have to remember Lindor loves extremely stiff gloves, that’s why he goes through so many in the course of a season
i can see this being used as an infield glove but nothing else. The materials are supposed to keep it stiff, which is what you want ion an infield glove, but when you want an outfield glove most people like floppy gloves which is what this glove cant offer
That’s pretty much exactly how I feel about it yeah
I would never pay for it and I think it’s kind of ugly…but I tried it on and it felt amazing and the squeeze feels really cool
It’s definitely interesting
How would the OF model work for slowpitch?
We’ll find out at some point, I’ll end up doing an in game glove review on it!
Great stuff. Not buying one of those gloves. Keep it coming. P.S. Respect the trees, or they will punish you.
Obviously the tree already has some beef with me
Ima centerfielder
I will never see you the same after you changed your name😂
RIP Chris Bangert
But that’s an outfield glove I play infield
We need a 8month review lol has it changed or still crappy.?
Nothings wrong with leather. I like my gloves to have a certain feel. There’s plenty of cows. No reason to try and reinvent the wheel.
True
@@ballgloveking LOLLLL 😂
“SO JUST SHUT UP”😂
Sounds like someone is picky😂. I respect the opinions though my friend!
God loves you
Any solid gloves made by easton??
If you can get a hold of an Easton “small batch” those are nice gloves, I had one a while ago and liked it. You can find em pretty cheap on eBay and stuff too
The design is lacking. But maybe there are better color ways.
the outfield gloves look great, especially that one, but the infield gloves look like garbage. nothing more than flashy for pitchers and outfielders
What if francisco lindor got r2g in the video
Bro who got you smiling like that
It looks like those gloves that u can get for 20$ for little kids
Kinda true lol
Great review but this is just a fugly glove lol Rawlings missed the mark with these
Hi how was ur day
Good you?
Decent
@@ballgloveking thats good mine is going great
What size is that glove??? Some of the clips look like it’s about 14”. 🤣🤣🤣
Lol it’s 12.75”
that squeaking noise made me wanna stub my toe
True true
Did you just change your name Chris
Yessirrr
That's an outfield glove..
Worth $250 with a pointer finger pad?
Hi, I am introducing baseball equipment-related reviews and videos from foreign TH-camrs to Korea after obtaining permission.
In Korea, rev1x has not been launched yet, so many people are curious about it, but I fell in love with your video. I think he introduced only the parts that people were really curious about.
If it's not rude, can I translate your video and introduce it to Korea? I don't have any other intentions, but I think many baseball players in Korea will like this video and I think they must watching it. And I'll promote your TH-cam channel a lot in Korea. let me know. thanks!
Lindor didn’t break in his gloves
That’s a good point I bet you’re right
@@ballgloveking they were talking about it during the game he keeps them stiff for quicker transfers
I’m the same way with gloves actually I like it stiff, but with an outfield model that’s not really ideal. That’s why I think it makes more sense for infield gloves in general
@@ballgloveking so I just ordered a custom Rawlings when it comes is There a specific way to keep it stiff
I’m sorry, but I’m just not paying 400$ for a plastic glove 🤷♂️
He looks like mr beast
The elastic wrist is why I will not buy this glove. $400 for a one size fits all glove? No thanks.
PREACH
Thank you for the review. Glove looks like garbage and sounds like it too.
My glove doesn’t sound squeaky
Good! What model do you have?
@@ballgloveking the REV1X but it might be diffrent because it’s a infield glove
True, I think it’s a common thing but not every Rev1x does it
It’s not a huge deal anyway I just know some people would complain about it
@@ballgloveking very true very true
Need to keep the audio level the same. Super annoying
I’ll do my best
I hate those colors with a passion
Lol I actually like em
@@ballgloveking not so much to colors but the designs of them
Noice
