I just got my girlfriend the Rawlings Hoh8 SH2 12" Japanese baseball glove. What can you tell me about their rubber all gloves which I believe it is. She plays softball do you think she will notice a difference ? She currently has a 12.75" gamer.
You mean "nanshiki", and yes it is ok to use a rubber glove for a hardball game there are no rules regulating that however it will sting your hand when you snag any kind of flying balls from a hard hit line drive to a catcher's over throw. I actually have a nanshiki infield glove which I occasionally use for infield. This may be only me but i happen to think the stings on my hands are pretty satisfying.
Would you know how to relace an akadema because I have a custom akadema and it has more laces than the a2000 you showed how to relace because I'm going to relace my dp15 but don't trust myself enough to do the akadema?
actually kubota slugger's(japanese just call "slugger")glove is very popular in asia but we all think that the leather it used is just normal(even KSG),not good at most others japanese brand.but it is lightweight and have clear feeling of ball.many professioanl players like it much,especially infielder. BTW,japanese glove guru usually treat the glove with hot water,bump it and rub it very "violently" than you in the video haha I'm wondering if most american baseball gloves player can accept treading glove in this way? sorry for my poor english,hope u can understand what i say XDD
BTW,most gloves lover in taiwan think that the leather of american gloves is much better than japanese gloves. most asian players use japanese glove is because it's lightweight and colorful
