tl;dr
I'm thinking about getting a trapeze glove that will fit my hand well. For reference, Wilson SP125 fits my hand perfectly and Rawlings 208-6 fits almost perfectly (both using the 'narrow' handstall setting).
More context
So like it says above, I'm thinking about getting a trapeze glove. Had one before — a Rawlings 601 (12.75" fastback) — but my hand swam in it. That strap is useless. What I'm thinking is a Rawlings 3039FS. How is the handstall on a 303? Was my problem with the 601 that it was a fastback — and thus no real opportunity to tighten the wrist? Will a conventional back help that problem enough? I do shift to TIP (+ index finger out), so I think the FS model is the way to go, but maybe not. Doesn't necessarily need to be a Rawlings, but that's what I've been looking at so far.
Any thoughts welcome!
