What does owning a Primo glove from Rawlings feel like? Yet another player weighs in:
“Primo feels epic.”
Those are the words Jonnybaseball wrote about his Primo 11.25” glove with Pro I web.
He went on: "It's the glove you'll pass on to your son. The glove feels strong, but not stiff, the perfect mix of durability and pliability. In a couple of days it has already broken in a bit. I did not notice any feeling of extra weight. Overall extremely pleased."
Rawlings' Primo 11.25" glove (model number PRM1125) is made for middle infielders.
Many have written reviews at RawlingsGear.com.
"I play second base and shortstop, and this is the best infield glove I have ever used. You can use this glove in any level of play," wrote Phillyboy.
“I play shortstop with it for my high school team and my high level club team, and I always receive comments on the great grabs I make with my Primo,” wrote Jroth95. “It is worth every penny, and I recommend it to everyone on every level."
Made from the finest Italian leather and the thickest laces, the Primo glove series is Rawlings’ premier glove series.

Parents will find that this glove is a worthy investment for their ballplayer.
"I reluctantly purchased the PRO217-2PM Heart of the Hide glove for my freshman son. He did a lot of research on the Web and settled on it,” CoachD wrote in an online review. “I had a hard time with such a high priced glove, but it was worth it. I've been coaching youth and competitive baseball for years. This glove has a quality that I never imagined in a glove. Break-in time was about five practices, leather is soft and easy but durable. In the first week the varsity players continuously wanted to try it out and LOVED it. Thanks, Rawlings, for opening my eyes."

Rawlings' P302 Maple Bat Has the Strength to Last
Who says maple bats can't last an entire season?
Rawlings' P302M maple wood bat has the durability and strength to last.
"Great balance, hard maple, mine is cupped to reduce weight. Used it all season and it is still going, in the cage and on the field!" wrote Puddinking in an online review at RawlingsGear.com.
Part of Rawlings' Pro Preferred line of wood bats, the P302M is made from Major League quality maple. Only the best 5 percent of ash and maple is perfect enough to be considered for bats labeled “Pro Preferred.”
The bat is based off assorted Major League profiles and comes in the following lengths: 32”, 32.5”, 33”, 33.5” and 34”.
Reviewer Steelecity summed up his feelings: "I love this bat. Feels light and has good pop for a wood,” he wrote. “The colors are a little funky, but that's another reason why I like it. Has a giant sweet spot for a wood bat also. The price is high, but you know you're getting quality with this one."
Rawlings' Pro Preferred wood bats have a high-gloss, ultra-protective clear finish and a U-shaped cupped end. The cupped end takes weight out of the bat, making it lighter and moving the balance point toward the hands.
Pro Preferred wood bats are individually inspected, with the length, weight and balance point (-2 average) written in the cupped end.
In addition, all maple bats carry the Pro Ink Dot Test on the handle.
Major League Baseball requires this test because of the way maple bats shatter when they break. The ink dot bleeds in the direction of the wood grain, allowing the straightness of the grain to be measured. The straighter the grain, the stronger the bat.
When you order through RawlingsGear.com, you can have your name and number engraved on any Pro Preferred wood bat.

Hit like a pro with Rawlings' popular Pro Preferred 460 profile (model number P460M).
This wood bat features a high-gloss, ultra-protective clear finish and a U-shaped cupped end. The cupped end takes weight out of the bat, making it lighter and moving the balance point toward the hands.
It is made with a flared knob, a 15/16" handle and 2-1/2" barrel. It is available in three lengths: 32”, 33” or 34”.
RawlingsGear.com customer AXIOM has enjoyed using his Pro Preferred 460.
In an online review, he wrote: “This new bat has served me well. Great bat balance and light weight allow for superb bat speed in the box!”

Snag Great Service on a Heart of the Hide Pro Catcher's Mitt
Part of the search for the perfect glove is matching the style with the player.
Rawlings' Heart of the Hide Pro Mesh catcher's mitt is just right for the player looking for their first professional glove.
Look to RawlingsGear.com for great service and a great price.
The Heart of the Hide Pro Mesh catcher's mitt (model number PROJP2002PM) is a 32.5” mitt with a 1-Piece Closed web.
The closed web makes the glove stronger and is designed to help the catcher block the ball and make a quick transfer to his throwing hand.
This glove’s backing is a high-end mesh that is specially designed to make it light and breathable. On average, Pro Mesh gloves are 12 percent lighter when compared to all-leather gloves.
ATeamDad has been pleased with this glove. In an online review at RawlingsGear.com, he wrote: "My son plays catcher and infield. I bought this glove when he outgrew his youth catcher's glove. Rawlings quality will ensure numerous seasons of use with proper care.”
He went on: “Smaller pattern and mesh back make the size and shape appropriate for smaller but growing hands. Can't say enough about the overall look. Online help with RG was great in assessing different product options. Thanks for the great service."
Kechnthrow was also happy with the mitt and the service at Rawlings Gear.
"This glove is outstanding,” he wrote. “I love the mesh backing, which reduces the overall weight of the glove. Very comfortable and quite cool looking.
“Rawlings Gear is a great company to deal with. I did my homework, and they had the lowest price you'll find,” he added. “If you're looking for a quality catcher's glove that will last you for years, this is the one. And if you're looking for any Rawlings equipment, this is the company to go through."
