NEW PICKUP! Review and breaking in a Japanese rubber ball Heart of the Hide! (Are they good??)

Reviewing, and then breaking in my newest glove, a closed back, rubber ball croc skin heart of the hide from Japan! Figuring out how good it is and comparing it to other gloves before I break it in! Awesome results.

Where’d you get that gamer xle? Looks really nice.

[@rebel_ballgloves]

The orange one? Got it off eBay a little while back. It’s hard to find otherwise but you can look it up for sure I’ve seen it before.

Since it’s rubberball, how do you plan on going about using it? Will you care for it differently? How much use will you give it?

[@rebel_ballgloves]

Great Question. Definitely going to be a catch play/bullpen glove for the most part. I plan to care for it the same though. I’m blessed enough to have options, so I like to save the customs for gamers. Im sure you can relate.

Will a catchers mitt from Japan work with a normal baseball?

[@rebel_ballgloves]

Absolutely!! These specific Japanese rubber ball models are just going to be a little softer, so your pocket might be a little deeper, and a little looser. But if you get a really high quality Japanese catcher’s glove, it will be one of the best quality gloves you’ll find. I do generally recommend Rawlings for catchers though.

How much were you able to get the glove for?

[@rebel_ballgloves]

I managed to get this one for $195 aud. Absolute steal. Usually they’d sit in the low 200s, but compared to our usual glove prices in Aus that’s great.
