Rawlings Reboots Its HOH Dual Core 12.75” Glove

Check out this old favorite with an all-new lace color.

Rawlings' Heart of the Hide Dual Core^TM 12.75” glove (model number PRO601DCB) features the Trap-Eze web and the Fastback. It replaces model number PRO601DCC.

Rawlings has added camel-colored lacing to this black leather glove for the new season.

“My son had been using an 11.5-inch Rawlings Gold Glove for three years and needed to move up to a larger size for outfield. He is now 15 years old. With the myriad of gloves out there, we stuck with Rawlings and moved up to Heart of the Hide: our third Rawlings. With a little glove oil, this baby was field ready before the first game,” wrote Rawlings customer DiDiBall in an online review, adding, “Rawlings rocks!”

Rawlings' patented Dual Core^TM technology gives the glove position-specific break points that allow the glove to close naturally and easily.

The Heart of the Hide leather used in Dual Core^TM gloves is tanned softer than other leathers, and the gloves have an oil-injected exterior to make breaking in your glove easy.

This 12.75” glove is made with the Trap-Eze web, also known as the “six-finger” glove. The web is part of the glove, not separate from it, allowing for maximum strength.

It is available for left-handed players as model number PRO601DCB-RH.

Rawlings' New MACH2 -10 Bat Has the Flex You Love and the Durability You Want

Rawlings' new MACH2™ bat is more durable than ever.

This senior league composite bat (model number SLRMC) has the flex and balance you love about Rawlings' MACH™ series, and it's built using Rawlings' new Consistent Composite Compaction process.

This secondary compaction process was designed to improve the mechanical properties within the fiber laminate, resulting in better durability and higher performance from the bat.

This bat has a 2-5/8" barrel diameter and meets the USSSA® 1.15 BPF standard, so it is approved for leagues including USSSA®, Dixie League®, BPA® and Dizzy Dean®.

Made for stronger players, it has a -10 drop and is available in lengths of 28", 29", 30", 31" and 32".

Rawlings' MACH™ baseball bats are designed with the highest grade composites and are built using the most advanced processes in the industry.

Rawlings' unique manufacturing process features precision winding for a better feel and unparalleled performance at the plate. The MACH™ was developed with continuous fibers for consistency throughout the barrel. A computer-controlled process constructs each fiber at the precise angles for increased durability and performance.

The composite handle has 55 percent more barrel flex than other bats.

Look for Rawlings' other MACH2™ bats, including the senior league bat with a -12 drop and a 2-¾” barrel (model number SLRM34).

Rawlings Custom Glove Builder Adds 8 New Web Styles

The variety and versatility of Rawlings' webs is unmatched. From the classic Basket web to the popular Trap-Eze web, Rawlings continues to raise the bar in meeting the needs of every position on the field.

As you build your ideal glove using  Rawlings' new custom glove builder, check out these web styles:

V Web: This is a V-shaped web with reinforced bottom and top. New to Rawlings, it has a greater surface area to help prevent ball spin when fielding ground balls. It is ideal for infield gloves sized 11”-12”.

Single Post Double Bar: This web incorporates a single vertical bar with two horizontal bars. It forms a snug, secure pocket that allows the ball to stick and not bounce. It is available for outfield gloves sized 12.5”-12.75”.

Vertical Hinge/Vertical Hinge Basket: This web is a closed-web style with two vertical hinges that allow the web to flex when making a catch. The hinges also help push out the web, which provides more space for a pitcher to grip the ball while hiding that grip from players on base. This solid web is ideal for pitchers, as it prevents batters from seeing the grip too. The difference between the two webs is that the Basket version has a small, crisscross leather web in the middle of the hinges. These are available on pitcher’s gloves sized 11.75”-12.25”.

Modified Single Post: This web is similar to the standard Single Post except the vertical post on this web is widened to prevent balls from slipping through the openings of the web. This web is easier to close and allows for quicker break-in. It is available for infield gloves sized 11”-12”.

Modified Trap with Loops: This web is similar to the standard Modified Trap web except the web itself is enclosed in an exterior piece of leather. This helps prevent damage to the leather surrounding the web. It is ideal for utility players who need a web that can be used at many positions. It is available for gloves sized 11”-12.5”.

Y Post: This web is a mixture of the Pro H and Single Post webs. It has a single post that starts at the top with two points like a Pro H and ends at the bottom with a single thicker post. The web itself looks like a capital Y. It provides stability and secures the ball in the web while preventing the ball from bouncing out. This new web style is available for gloves sized 12.5”-12.75”.

Modified Pro H (for first base mitts): This first base web incorporates two vertical and two horizontal bars. This extra-secure web forms a snug pocket to help prevent balls from bouncing out. It is available in first base mitt sizes 12”-12.5” and 13”.
