Where do I begin.. my son is a ball player. He had his one on one of these gloves for awhile. As a parent, I thought the price was steep. My son knew all of the qualities of this glove- quality material, design, etc. I could not agree bc I do not know baseball like he does. He waited until the glove went on sale, until he had his own money and so I agreed he can purchase it. We put in the order. We were very please at how they kept us in the loop the entire process. The turn around was about 3-4 weeks, which seems like a long time, but it was very much worth the wait. The glove by far exceed all of our expectations. It is very high quality in every way! Great purchase!
