REV1X - I spent $400 so you don't have to 

Lol I know that’s pretty disappointing

@@ballgloveking Not surprised whatsoever though lol I contacted them about getting like dual or hand sewn welting in a custom glove and all they could say was if it's not in the glove builder can't do it lol Their lack of personalization is laughable. Yet they'll sell a glove on their site with both dual and hand sewn welting for a 100$ less than a custom HOH. Can get a glove made in the U.S from Nokona for half the cost....smh

Most gloves do tho even my new one and it kinda sucks 😂

@@NomaDL2224I’m late but Rawlings glove builder sucks you get like 5 different color choices of leather which really sucks

Question- Is the glove worth it for $220?

I couldn’t agree more, it’s nice to entertain the idea but leather will always win in the end

Centuries?

​@@ballglovekingWhat's your take on Wilson superskin? Those gloves feel cheap compared to the all leather A2ks/A2000s, but I guess if the superskin is supposed to last longer and be lighter, then why not

Yes! Just like the Rawlings primo, that glove was purely luxurious leather so it made sense to pay more money

Well supply chain costs are increasing so to limit the price increases on their gloves its either 1; Raise prices 2; Find a way to make them at a cheaper cost

@@fishygaming9907 looks like they did both at the same time lol, this plastic glove costs 400.

Rawlings is one of the biggest leather tanneries in America... The MLB balls will never change from leather and Rawlings is likely gonna hold that contact for the league until the end of time, its not about cutting material cost, its always easy to think that a company is just cutting corners to save a buck and that is true that companies do that all the time. but for a company like Rawlings that owns there own leather tanneries sourcing hides isnt vary costly to them at all and if im not mistaken Rawlings actually sells hides to various other companies so the cost of producing leather hides isnt an issue at all for Rawlings when there making money off of excess and making money from the products they produce out of the leather themselves. The fact is that Rawlings is still the biggest name in gloves, if anyone is gonna innovate and reinvent the baseball glove it would be Rawlings, the fact is Rawlings has the money to waste on research and development of products outside the box, that other smaller and less historically significant brands simply cant afford. For baseball purest the all leather pro preferred and HOH gloves are always gonna be the way to go, but for a young highschool or college kid that wants to look cool and flashy on the field and isnt concerned with glove performance/durability as much, the Rawlings Rev gloves might be for them. Outfield gloves are big and heavy! I have no doubt that elite Rawlings athletes have expressed a desire for a lighter glove hence Rawlings development of the hyper shell and rev series of gloves... are they really what players desire though?... i dont think so, i dont think they truly meet the demands and abuse of elite players gear... my point though is that, I dont think Rawlings is sitting there thinking how can we cheapen our high end gloves, how can we take our gloves that are the standard among elite players/worn by more MLB players then any other brand and make it less expensive to create... the fact they needed to likely create all new machines and/or outsource the plastic materials likely takes away significant cost savings youd think theyre making from the Rev series but I do think Rawlings is asking themselves how can we increase performance of our products for elite players... and weight savings happens to be a factor for all high level sport equipment. so its no surprise that Rawlings the biggest name in baseball would be experimenting and thinking outside the box when it comes to product development. And lets not forget, a few years ago Rawlings had a strangle hold on the industry basically Rawlings and Wilson were the only brands making high end elite level leather gloves... but now you got a hand full of small brands making really good gloves not to mention what the glove cowboy has done to revamp the glove departments of brands like Easton and Matucci... Simply put Rawlings aint the only gloves in town anymore and theyre looking for ways to separate themselves from the rest of the pack again... and again Rawlings can afford the research and development cost of new "innovative" products that none of the others companies really can.

@@fishygaming9907 Rawlings is one of Americas largest leather tanneries, back in the day Rawlings use to use the legendary Horween leather which is Americas oldest tannery but for years now Rawlings has owned and operated there own tanneries and even sell off excess to other companies (outside of baseball)... the hyper shell and Rev series of gloves likely cost Rawlings more money to make as they actually likely have to source the materials from other companies and possibly have to create new tooling machines, hire and/or re train workers for the new products. Heres a thought... maybe Rawlings is the biggest name in baseball and can afford research and development that most other companies cant... maybe like in every other sport the reduction of equipment weight happens to be a performance benefit to the elite players using the equipment... maybe Rawlings and Wilson arent the only two elite level high end leather gloves on the market anymore these days, maybe Rawlings is looking to separate themselves from the rest of the pack and regain market shares by innovating in ways other baseball companies simply cant. Are the hyper shell or rev series of gloves for me? not at all, but I welcome the innovation from Rawlings and maybe theyll eventually make the perfect light weight elite level glove, until then ill stick to my pro preferred and HOH's but ill continue to pay attention to rawlings latest and greatest "high tech" offerings and maybe theyll strike gold eventually by creating a new glove standard for elite players.

True true true

I’ll take your word for it over Lindor and half the MLB guys wearing it 🥴

@@jd0192 you got it bro

You’ll see it in a little while!

Me too

I love the outro too bro! I’ll bring it back next upload just for you

@@ballgloveking sweeet 🙌🏼

Lol a little harsh

Yessir

So disappointed lol

Hopefully they do!

I just looked up naugahyde… thank you

It’s good to not squeeze the glove shut until it’s can easily close on its own, so use a mallet or just your hands to start breaking in the important parts like the heel of the glove. If that’s confusing just go watch my break in video on my channel ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r_jjKTTI6s8.html

PREACH

Ayyyy let’s gooo

Yeah bro makes sense, but it was also sick that you had it so early!

Definitely! I only got to borrow it but glad I did because I didn’t have to pay $400. On behalf of myself and all other glove nerds, we appreciate your large donation😂

Good input, it all comes down to preference in the end

No Problem my guy!

We’ll find out at some point, I’ll end up doing an in game glove review on it!

Obviously the tree already has some beef with me

That’s pretty much exactly how I feel about it yeah

I know isn’t it crazy! It makes no sense, Olay the end of the day leather will always be on top!

@@ballgloveking nothing better than real leather! You can care for it better, form it better, and it feels better. Quality leather is the only way to go!

They did the same thing with soccer cleats. It worked. Hopefully baseball doesn't fall for it.

RIP Chris Bangert

That’s true

Kinda true lol

and its about the same price as 44

Lol they are both fantastic companies

Yessirrr

I know right! Lol jk thank you though, I appreciate that

I'm 40 playing 2-3 games a week.

It’s definitely interesting

Good you?

Decent

@@ballgloveking thats good mine is going great

True

@@ballgloveking LOLLLL 😂

Lol it’s 12.75”

I’m calling them crocenstocks now that’s legendary

If you can get a hold of an Easton “small batch” those are nice gloves, I had one a while ago and liked it. You can find em pretty cheap on eBay and stuff too

You too

I’ll do my best

Lol I actually like em

@@ballgloveking not so much to colors but the designs of them

True true

That’s a good point I bet you’re right

@@ballgloveking they were talking about it during the game he keeps them stiff for quicker transfers

I’m the same way with gloves actually I like it stiff, but with an outfield model that’s not really ideal. That’s why I think it makes more sense for infield gloves in general

@@ballgloveking so I just ordered a custom Rawlings when it comes is There a specific way to keep it stiff

Classic

Nah he good

Trust me I REALLY want to! I plan on it but at the moment can’t. Hoping to join back in next spring

@@ballgloveking idk your situation to criticize you … but I wanna see you blow up and being mic’d up for men’s league games will def draw more interest … it’s like riding a bike … couple games in you’ll be right back trust me .. GOOD luck

I’m pumped for when I actually get back into cause like you said it’ll be good for the channel and I just miss it sooo bad, thanks though bro I appreciate the advise

@@ballgloveking you’re gonna be the happiest man on the planet lol … you’ll see … like a little kid again … and the glory doesn’t have to end 😂 …. U may wanna think about going down to 11-5 or 11.75 for short tho lol … I’m sure u remember

What are you gonna game in the infield when u get in there ? What glove company and size are you going with ?

Love it!
