I have always been a Heart of the Hide fan. And I have passed that passion for the gloves on to my high school freshman son. Rawlings to me is the only glove for playing ball.

I love all of the Rawlings gear I’ve ever had. I love the velo to the batting gloves to my current glove that I’ve had for about 3 years and it is time for a new one.

[@beauwinchester9128]

My favorite piece of Rawlings would have to be the 11 1/4 pro preferred. I used it from 7th grade throughout high school before it got stolen. However, I love the heart of the hide series as well. I had a heart of the hide catchers mitt I used throughout high school as well. Thanks for the content!

Rawlings gloves are simply the best in the game. I played with them as a youth and now as a father coaching his son. Gold Glove For me all the way.... Thanks for the video..

Since I started Baseball Rawlings Balls have always been my choice. I have 4 Gloves and To this day (I'm 51) I still use the "Big Stick" in my Men's Hardball Wood Bat League. Thanks Rawlings.

[@bulmarogomez1284]

I currently play with a GG elite and it has been a great glove.. i didnt know what to look for when i first bought my glove so i know that this video will help plenty of parents and people like myself that started playing later in life

[@tonyleonguerrero6665]

John, Thanks for this posting, this is exactly what parents need to view and hear. Great advise Keep the great videos coming. Parents get very little advise on baseball equipment so this video will assist them all. Great store and staff. We purchased our son's catcher's gear there while on holidays and did not regret the decision to buy the full equipment, staff were very friendly and gave professional advise.

[@YouGoPro]

Thank you very much 🙏 yes I love this store and staff!

[@marksocalrd9909]

Great video, a father on our 11u travel ball team just bought a soft leather Rawlings glove for his son. He mentioned the pocket wasn't as deep as their previous gloves. I'll let him know they make shallow and deep pocket gloves. Your pitching videos have really helped my son, keep up the good work.

[@boidamm6186]

My favorite peice of rawlings equipment is my hard maple pro bat. It was my first wood bat and I love it

[@duaneRanaluaK]

Just got my 9yr old son a Rawlings Renegade 1st base mitt and he loves the feel so far and is excited to finish breaking it in

That’s awesome!

Rawling gloves in general, they are second to none and set the standard for glove quality!

[@rlwillett]

Every glove I've had since i was in tball has been a rawlings. Now my kids are enjoying the sport with their rawlings gloves

[@rickburns8734]

Rawlings was the best fitting glove I tried on. It just felt comfortable the first time I put it on. I oiled it, put a ball in it with rubber bands and left it outside to get the shape. now it even feels better. The palm padding sold me! I ordered a Mizuno from Amazon at first but I had to send it back it was too tight and the pocket was very thin. I also tried on a Wilson but it did not fit right. I play outfield and I'm ready to start making some Wille Mays plays, Thanks, Rawlings.

[@ames851]

My daughter started playing softball and ending up plating third base . We are currently learning how to pitch to get her ready for spring. I loved your video . It provided great tips for me for when I go glove shopping. #softballmomlife❤💪⚾

[@YouGoPro]

Awesome! Glad you liked it! Let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help.

[@mcmuffin3000]

One of my favorite gloves is the rss130c, got it about a year ago and I love it. Great for playing catch with your friends or play a casual game

[@raymondmontes9873]

Great video! My favorite Rawlings equipment definitely has to be my pro preferred 12” modified trapeze and my 11year old son rocks a heart of the hide modified trapeze with the mesh back. The mesh back makes the glove lighter and is a great glove for youth. Im surprised that was not mentioned in the video!

[@YouGoPro]

Yes, someone else told me that this morning.

The Rawlings glove series is top notch.

Love Rawlings gloves! I still use both my HOH's playing catch with my son. One is from 1988 and the other from college 1993. Of course my 12 yr old son is using one as well now. I would love to win a pitchers glove for him. Keep the good videos coming. You do an excellent job.

Very informative. I love the information about the norm is now that the hand sticks out of the glove and that bigger is not always better.

[@mb-gt7cc]

I have a softball glove "Shady Lady"; probably 20 years old. It's in great condition because I only use it to be a buddy to my daughter on the field; she has Down Syndrome, so we play 1st base and I catch the flyers and give them to her. I had it in storage for about 5 years; just pulled it out again and conditioned it for tomorrow's game!

Order yourself a custom Pro Preferred with your last name embroidered on the thumb. This is something that you can hand down to your child when they are ready to use it. This is what I have done.

Great video! I used Rawlings gloves when I played at a younger age but find myself buying baseball gloves again as my son makes his way into this baseball addiction. My wife asked me the other night where I’m going to store these gloves and I said that the pro Preferred catchers glove looks just right by our wedding picture!😜

[@TheBrywren]

Good informational video that will enable people of all ages to understand what glove size and type is right for them. This was a well done video.

[@simpleagain1]

Best glove EVER......was the Mike Schmidt model circa 1980‼️ The realest, trueist, most natural feeling, most comfortable, most dexterous glove I’ve ever had on my hand. Me and my friends would fight over who wore it from inning to inning. You had to damn near beat them up just to get the glove back. So comfortable it felt like an extension of your own hand. Haven’t found a glove like it since😢. The good old days

[@bryanking5454]

I love my Rawlings Pro Preferred glove for 2nd base. I've had it for about 4 years and it's the best glove I've ever owned.

I love the look of rawlings gloves they use traditional colours on there gloves and they look amazing. Great vid

One of my favorite things about Rawlings is the scarlet red logos. When I was 8, I saw my first rawlings glove. Like a moth to the light my eyes we're attracted to the vivid red color of that capital R. Rawlings became my first glove. 20 years later that first Rawlings is still my companion.

You’re welcome. I think the issue is they don’t want to compete with “their clients”.

Just bought my first Rawlings been a Wilson guy since day one but lost my A2000 a few years back so now my kids playing I needed something and went with the gold glove elite for a mid range glove and it’s awesome so far since I don’t need a 3-400$ glove anymore it felt better than the A1000s

There isn't a greater piece of Rawlings equipment than the pro preferred, HOH or gold glove.. although I've never owned one, I've definitely played catch with one. I've only ever owned a GG elite. All great gloves, and by far the best piece of equipment from Rawlings
