I played primarily 3B, with a PROS17-IC, last year in college, but moved over to 2B when our starter got injured. This year I moved to SS and picked up a smaller pro200-4JB because of the problems with the PROS17's palm shooting balls out. With the PROS17 I flared out the fingers and had the pocket down the center, really deep, which worked well for that pattern. I broke the PRO200 in with a pocket where my thumb touches my pointer/middle finger and at this point the glove doesn't keep the ball where i want it. When I field a ground ball the ball kind of sits on the ripples in the leather on my palm.
I was thinking a flatter glove would be better, but I don't want to give up any reach with a shorter 2B specific glove. Do you guys (doc?) have any advice on better patterns/webs? Either HOH or A2000 would be ideal. Thanks guys.
