“Good glove for the price. Costs less than a Rawlings Heart of the Hide or Pro Preferred glove, but craftsmanship and leather quality aren't on par with the Rawlings Heart of the Hide or Pro Preferred gloves either. The pros are that you can create a customized glove for less than that of a Rawlings or Wilson, but don't expect the quality to be on par with those. The saying, "you get what you pay for" definitely applies here.”
“I purchased Men's Softball glove from 44 Pro a few weeks ago. Because of playing Shortstop I purchase a 12inch "EX-10."
I have been pleasantly surprised with both the accuracy of my custimization and the quality of the glove. When delivered, the glove came exactly as I ordered, which was in part why I was pleasantly surprised. From a manufacturing perspective, I am impressed with the overall quality of the glove. The leather used in the glove is a good quality leather, laces are thicker (verses other some of the brands) which will aid in durability, and the sticking seems to be good so far.
There are guys I know (and play with) who have purchased gloves from some other "Name Brand" glove manufactuers who offer glove custimization who do not offer this same craftsmanship.
So far I am impressed. I will repost in about a year to give you a true opinion of the glove, but my frist impression of this glove is that I am impressed by the quality of the glove and their accuracy with my specific customization.
First Impression - 5 Stars (let's see how it holds up)”
“The 44 Pro glove is a work of art. Perfect condition, excellent quality. Everyone on the team is wanting to either use or purchase a 44 Pro glove. My son couldn't be happier with the glove. Absolutely amazing experience & glove is fantastic.”
“Daughters hand is on the smaller side. She's a senior in HS and figured she wouldn't need a youth size glove, so I ordered the regular size. Probably should have ordered youth because even with the tightening of the wrist strap its still a bit big on her.”
“The glove is amazing! Definitely appreciate allowing us to design the glove how we want as players. The quality of the glove is even better! I started using it out the bag and just made sure that I had hard throws to continue to break it in. Great glove!”
“Very pleased with buying experience on the 44 website. Easy to understand and lots of customisations available. Weekly update emails showing glove progress, great to receive.”
“I paid for the break in the thing is like a hunk of wood very hard kid can’t even use it it was a waste of money had dicks sporting good stern it and try to break it in 2 times still hard as a risk will prob be the last 44 we ever buy if it can’t get broken in”
“So I have purchased 2 gloves now and highly disappointed. So bought a 1st baseman’s glove that has broken twice at the pocket which granted I thought first time was a fluke. At a 15U level this shouldn’t happen. Then bought a catchers glove that after 3 months is still hard as a rock. Spending $400+ per glove I expected more and better quality. Gloves look great but aren’t for competition level play. Customer service is a joke and will not cover if you ordered a custom color so it is a valuable lesson learned. Parents/ Players go for the give that will hold up and so it’s job when you’re playing or putting in the work. Better gloves for play at cheaper or equal to this.”
“My daughter used the batting gloves 1 time for batting practice and a-lot of the color near the thumb all ready peeled off. The idea is awesome the quality just needs improving”
