This has been a great glove for my son. He used it through his spring season and is now continuing to use it during summer baseball camps and training.
It did take some time to break in, which is pretty normal, but once it was worked in, he really started to love it. The glove feels much better than what he was using previously and has helped his confidence in the field.
One thing that really stands out is the appearance. The colors look fantastic and definitely stand out on the field. My son gets a lot of compliments on it and was excited to use it from day one.
For an 8 year old playing recreational baseball, this has been an excellent glove. As he gets older and moves into more competitive levels, we will probably upgrade to a higher performance glove, but for where he is right now, this has been a great choice.
Overall, we have been very happy with it and would recommend it to other youth players.
