The SSK Z9 was soooo close to being a great glove. Instead it will remain as a "good glove". This fits in with other gloves like 44, JL, Buckler... It's slightly disappointing but hopefully SSK will make the changes necessary to improve the glove.

I absolutely love your content and reviews I always look forward to your videos. Ty for putting in the effort to make these so high quality
Thanks for doing a review on the SSK. It's too bad they sent you the pitcher's model. I love SSK leather because it's soft but maintains stiffness to an insane degree.
I don’t think it’s a pitcher model. It’s the same web that javy Baez uses. Closed webs are actually used for infield in Japan.
@@kylewon Well the same glove comes in an I-Web & H-Web, so I assumed, but you could be right.
THE SSK Z9 ACTUALLY $270, MY BAD GUYS!
Amazing video!
I thought they were 270?
No it’s not it’s 265
i think the Z9 is a better glove for function but the Rawlings would be nicer on a shelf, and price does factor into that
The 12" 12.5" and 11.75" pitcher model are all on sale for $222 in the chocolate colorway. Bought the 12.5" outfielders glove the other day.
Always a good day when the king uploads
Hey man love your vids and great selection on that rawlings wing tip.
Love your videos keep up the good work!
Maybe I’m crazy. And I’ve never purchased an SSK glove. I’ve just admired them from afar. But the glove you chose says it’s supposed to close thumb to ring. They designed it that way. Whereas they designed some of their 11.75 H webs to close thumb to pinky. I wonder if that would give you a more fair comparison.
Yessir the king of baseball
love what you did there with the 269 Lol. Love the vids
First I love the work you put in
Thank you bro!
Great vid. I am curious if you plan on making glove recommendations for softball at some point in the future...or the past, you know, whatever you're in to.
That heart of the hide has a great color way! Love the vid
I know that HOH is beautiful 🤩
@@ballgloveking Could you post a vid on best in feild gloves for young players? I am 13 and play shortstop I need a new glove but I am having trouble finding the right one. This would help so much since your name is ball glove KING. Thank you so much great content keep up the grind.
Would love to see you do a video on the Rico gloves. Just got one and I think it’s pretty good. Would love to see what you think of it
Glad you liked the glove!
I use the SSK Z9 so this video helped a lot thanks
Bought a ssk for slow pitch and similar issue right now trying to break it in. My easton hybrid that i use for baseball took about a hour to break in closing thumb to pinky with 2 hinges and took a beautiful shape....and that horween makes that glove 👌... but my ssk has been a pain so far.
Love your Vidios your my favorite youtuber
Lol been asking for this for a while and finally got it plus just found out after try outs I made the baseball team again my second year playing school ball bought a ssk because middle of the season and middle of a game my gloves pocket ripped open so had to use a back up glove and ordered this while I was waiting to go back on defense
I just want to submit one small vote for indoor demonstrations in the facility.
It’s hard to explain, but (inside) I get a real feel with how hard the ball is being hit, the pop of the glove is such ear candy and you’re clearer to hear when you speak. The sound in closed space amplifies everything. There’s also some glare in the sunlight
I’ve been looking at the gloves you’ve been displaying but im interested in a very shallow middle infield glove
What kind of hooks do you use to hang the gloves on that wall? Looks super clean and I kind of want that, lol thanks
Can you next review a JL glove, I have heard about it by a couple people but there are very few reviews
Can i use a pitchers glove in the infield? I dont know much about gloves but i have a 2 piece, will that affect fielding?

What glove size would you recommend for me? I can palm a basketball and my size in batting gloves is a XXL on average. I have problems fitting into gloves at times and I’ve been looking for some advice.
Wonder how much of the “issues” with the SSK are because of preference and change in construction? I have a 11.25” SSK PRO-ALNY that I bought almost 20yrs ago. Glove is still holding together strong and gave me the perfect pocket for 2B and occasional SS.
That’s awesome!
Gloves in small ways have decreased in durability over time sadly but they have also increased in general shape and performance and comfort.
The things I pointed out weren’t preferences. The glove isn’t far worse it is just a slight down grade in durability and performance long term
What would you prefer , Chris the 44 574 model or a Rawlings 204 model?
Another banger! Btw I have a game today
Thank you bro, good luck tonight 🙏
Do you think ask would break in differently if you use 2 in the pinky since ur index finger wouldn’t push up on the pocket and since it’s double welting ?
Two different gloves. Two different break in’s. Some Japanese models are way shallow and are meant to close thumb to middle hence why you feel your hand actually squeezing the ball and not getting stuck in the pocket. More of a middle infielder type of glove.
What would you say is the best glove brand and/or model for someone who likes to get the hands deep intro the glove?
Im done playing baseball after this season (one more game) how do you recommend keeping a 44 nice for a shelf piece that I may or may not give to my brother in a few years? Any tips?
Yes. Just condition it every so often, buy sarna glove conditioner. Apply with a soft towel, your glove will last a lifetime.
Finally an Ssk video
First also can you review Trevor story’s glove?
do you have any reasonable priced recommendations on first base mitts?
Can you do an updated glove collection video
Luv the shirt bro!
Your videos are fire 😎😄
Not really related to this video, but can you do a video about re-shaping a used, already broken in glove?
Can you take a look at the Wilson a1000, it’s a mid range glove that competes with the r9 and gamer. I haven’t seen any reviews on in and I bought it off a teammate recommendation for high school ball(I’m a catcher but I occasionally play middle infeild but not enough to make an a2000 worth it)
Do you think a Z5 would be a good option for a secondary outfield glove? I’ve been playing more and more outfield recently and have been borrowing peoples gloves, wanna get my own for when I’m playing outfield.
If you have the money get a z7 other than that it would be ok
@@CooperOliverOutdoors ill look into it, thanks
I’d love to see what you think of them real exclusive gloves in Japan like a Slugger, or a Wilson Staff but I know them ain’t cheap or easy to get here as I’m trying to get one myself
i play third base but sometimes i want a shallower pocket what glove would you reccomend
Ssk yessir
Hey I doubt you’ll see this but I really need help, would u consider the Rawlings glove lightweight?
do you think you could make kid sizes in the bommy tahama shorts
What do you use to hang the gloves on the wall.
Can you do a review on Emery Glove Co.?
Can you do a marucci capitol series review, I’ve had the glove for a couple years and love it but nobody seems to know anything about them
Maybe a Nightshift
Ball glove king, why did Rawlings discontinue the Pro 204-20T?
Need a new glove for highschool BSBL, I'm a utility player so probably a 12in, under $150 would be nice. I was looking at a 12in SSK Z5. Any recommendations?
Yo quick question, do you have any cheap gloves that are good for youth middle infielders
Can you do a comparison on a single hinge and a duel hinge
Pls do a showcase/break-in vid on zett pro status or gran status
Please do a ssk z5 review im thinking about getting one but wanted your opinion
Would a 2 piece web work good for middle infield
great vid!
you should how to break in a glove like Chris Bryant!
What is that green glove in the background
Can you do a Max Clark or Javy Baez glove review?
Can you do a Mookie betts a2 k review
i got sarna paste conditioner how much should i put on my glove?
Is this Rawlings an R2G or regular HOH? Difference between hyper tech color sync and regular color sync? Both are heart of the hide gloves?
This dude is the best
You should review a warstic glove
Can you do an review on Lazer Glove
You should do a Rico glove review
I gotta say the leather on the ssk looks thinner compared to the HOH.
It 100% is. I tried explaining that a little if I remember correctly. The glove feels like it’s lacking some insides like it could use some better finger inserts and heel insert and so on
You should do a 1b list
I've had both Rawlings and SSK in high school and college and SSK is the winner for me hands down, just fit better and easier to break in! Japanese gloves in general are superior IMHO, love Mizuno and SSK!
I think you should do an Aaron Judge model glove from rawlings
about to pick up a SSK 🫶🏿
is wingtip just a diffrent design from the original?
NEW BGK VIDEO!!!
Hey im thinking of getting a glove from rico gloves. Can u review a glove from them?
What are the best first basemen’s mits
can you please review the sc 1786 wilson a2000
Hey I noticed u have that toro glove I checked social media and the website but it seems their websites are down. I have a friend in Japan Right now and they can’t find it.
You should try a rico glove that are really nice
Agree with the ssk
Noti gang
Here?
Much love 🙏
please post more
Amazing informative video! If my Rawlings Pro 31 broke in like the SSK Z9, did I make a mistake?
This SSK vs 44 EX-10?
God I remember when your were given a new glove and you just played with it. It broke itself in exactly how you wanted to
Could i buy a outfiled baseball glove from you?
Ronald Acuña used SSK until he started having issues with the ball popping out of his glove, then he switched to Rawlings 😂
That’s why I trust Rawlings a lot more than others. You can manipulate different sections of the glove and you can close it without all of the leather moving with it, kind of like a hardback book.
Hear me out king of Juco vs Ball glove King?
try the SSK Z7
Hi
the form on the SSK doesn't seem too much better than my old beater Rawlings glove that I got for like $30 5 years ago
Please can I send you my glove it's an a360 and sort of old but I would love for you to review and stuff it's also my only glove
W vid
A2000 or HOH
Have both, would never go back to rawlings. Anyone with an SSK and takes time to break it in patiently and well, it is an incredible globe. Z9 or Zpro event better. They hold their shape forever, highly predictable glove. Fielding results prove it time and again.
Hey bro can I get a shoutout I’ve been a subscriber for a while and I love your vids
Or get with a rep and get Rawlings and Wilson cheaper lol
It’s an elite glove. This guy doesn’t know how to work a glove in its clear from this video
