I’ve been playing some IF, recently and my 14” Rawlings is way too big. I’ve looked at 12” but they feel too small. Anyone used 12.5 or 12 3/4 in IF without transfer issues?
I used to do it with an 11.75 ( I know right?), I was reluctant to go anything bigger than 12 because I had the same transfer concerns. A couple of seasons ago I was finally convinced and went up to 12.5 and now I wish I would've done it sooner!
12.25 KB17. Perfect size for me. I can't say I've yet had a play where I've needed anything bigger.
Bro, real talk does that 1/4" really do anything?
As SYB just said, it depends on the pattern in question, take Anna's 12" Pro206 and her 12" DM Pro1000, those two gloves are identical in their dimensions and pocket depth! Now compare those two gloves side by side to my 12.25" KB17 = (Pro207), even though all three gloves are "Pro200" patterns, that KB17 that's 0.25 larger will swallow those other two gloves.......not really but there's a very noticeable difference in length, width, and pocket depth. The 1/4" difference is not just in the length.
I think that all the leather pieces are probably some percentage larger in all dimensions. Any of the glove gurus have thoughts on that?
