Good fitting
|
Generally, three different types of materials are used:
1. A good quality glove is made of leather, which provides better comfort and feel. Leather usually is more durable and lasts longer.
2. Some newer models consist of treated leather. They are softer and are still durable. They don't need much break in. Also less care is needed.
3. Synthetic materials are used mostly for youth gloves. They are softer, less expensive and lighter, but don't last as long.
If you play both baseball and softball, it might be better to buy the larger glove.
Youth models cost about $20-40, while good adult models cost about $80-250.
Extra padding in the pocket and finger areas allows the infielder to stop or catch the ball without hurting his hand or fingers. A closed web pocket makes catching the ball easier.
Softball gloves have a bigger pocket to help catch the larger ball. Various types of wrist adjustments are available yo keep the gloves snug. Common is a Velcro strap that makes it very convenient to get a good fit.
