Bring On The Gloves!

So after some information on the new Rawlings bats I guess we need some information on what we're going to catch all those pop ups and line drives with. Rawlings is the leader in innovation for glove design and more pro players use those gloves in the field than any other brand.

So what did Rawlings bring to the table this season? Well, to start things off, they've added a 12" model to the Primo line up. If you're familiar with the Primo series, you know that there is not another glove like it on the market. Crafted out of Italian leather, there are only a limited amount of gloves that can be produced each year. They utilize patented Dual Core Technology that has an inner layer with position specific break points that allow your hand to close the glove in the way that your position demands.

Pretty cool stuff, not to mention that the gloves look great as well. We got a chance a couple of weeks ago to check out all the new Rawlings product and they passed around the PRM1200 Primo glove and I have to say, (It was broken in) it was one of the best feeling gloves I've ever had on my hand. So yes the break in work was already done and these gloves do require the player to do a large percentage of this work, but the payoff is so worth it. It really did feel like an extension of my hand. The new 12" model features a Basket Web pattern and Conventional Back which makes this a great glove choice for pitcher and infield positions.

So enough of my babble, if you're in the market for a high end glove, I would recommend that you check out the Primo line. With the addition of the 12" model, this is a really well rounded series of gloves and also a glove that is built to last, season after season.

Check em out at RawlingsGear.com and get "The Next Line Of Defense." Up to bat for next time will be new Pro Preferred models.
