    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.

    • @kylewon

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

  • @AT2Productions
    @AT2Productions ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

    • @ballgloveking
      @ballgloveking  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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

    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

    @joseflores880 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.
