Men's league is about to start up in the next couple of weeks and I want to get some new gear. Last season I used my old college stuff but my glove was to small for softball.

What do you Baws use?

Btw I already scooped up a new Yeti cooler for the season.

What position do you play?

I play middle infield, 1B, and outfield, and my middle infield glove is much smaller than my 1B/OF glove.

Just get a Mizuno Franchise Utility glove and call it a day.

My infield glove is a Mizuno that I used in HS and College for baseball. It's probably an 11 1/2".

You probably want a 13" or 14" glove. I haven't ever had any issues with Mizuno, but friends love Worth. Don't know if they make softball gloves, but Nokona are some of the best gloves ever.

it's adult slow pitch softball. Just get any damn glove that fits your hand, pretty sure there won't be any scouts at there.

You never know. I heard Ralph Lauren and the editor of GQ would be at our first game scouting me.

Know how I know you've never touched a Nokona?

Nokona is one of the stiffest freaking gloves you can get, I have one. It took me a full season to break it in. Another guy on my team also has a Nokona that's going on 12 or 13 years old and it's damn near as stiff as mine that's only 2 years old.

People who talk shite about Nokona gloves only do so because they generally can't afford one.

Just go buy a glove. This isn't rocket science.

I'm not a fan of Nokona, but I have a couple a2000s and Pro Preferreds that are just as expensive, if not more.

Pretty sure this was intended as a troll thread but if not:

Demarini Diablo 14" glove. Owned one for 5 seasons. It's the best glove I have ever owned. Soft leather and has held up very well. $70 at academy.

I play 3rd base and LF. The gloves suits both needs.
