Where to get my custom glove?

Postby Thirdbaseb4life » July 15th, 2008, 7:07 pm

I was woundering which online store I should order from. I want a rawlings all black w/ the flag and my name. Any suggetions? ( sorry cant spell)

Also what is the difference between black oil and black dry? and which color is the closest to the one jose reyes and adrian beltre use?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Also what does a palm pad do... I play Thirdbase.

If you want a stiff glove made of horween leather in the US, order from Eastbay. If you want oil-infused leather made in the Philippines, the others are the same, just look for the options and price you want. Try hq4sports.com, or the more expensive rawlingsgear.com.

Oiled black looks like Jose Reyes, and pretty much anyone with a black Rawlings glove. The dry black looks like suede.

The palm pad is a small piece of leather sewn on the inside of the glove around the palm area. Playing 2B, 3B or SS, this is usually used to take the sting away when the ball hits. The palm pad isn't yet an option from Eastbay, otherwise I would have got one on the custom glove I ordered from them. If you don't have a palm pad but want to reduce sting, a good substitute is an inner glove.
