Extra Hitter
I have had the same Louisville Slugger glove for a LONG time now. So long, that I haven't paid any attention to the new gloves made for the last 6 years or so. The wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday and the only things I could think of (that we could afford) were a new glove and a threesome. Of those 2, I figure I have the best shot at the glove.
So I got to looking at all the manufacturers and models out there and my head damn near spun off with all the choices. Not to mention the fact that I've used it so much my current glove is like a 2nd skin to me. You know what I mean...perfectly molded to my hand, broken in so well that a ball hitting anywhere near the pocket will automatically close the glove for me.
I've got no problem with breaking in a new glove, but if I'm going to go to all that effort, I want it to be a glove that will last as long as my current one, and be tough enough that I can still play 3rd without having to worry about getting ate up by a 150 mph worm burner.
So what do you guys use? What would you lay out your money for if you were getting a new one?
I play 3B and SS almost exclusively. Some 2B but that's only in back-up situations. I prefer closed back, ladder web (or other closed web) and at least 13".
Here's a link to a newer version kinda like what I use now:

I like the looks of this one, but I can't find out for sure if it's a men's or women's.

Thanks in advance.
