An Ace bandage works just fine.

Does lace stiffness equate to durability/tensile strength?

SBF store sells Tanners in maroon, would it be the same stuff? billyfitz is pricey!

Or to rephrase the question, Tanners or Auburn? I looked at the Auburn website, and they package Wilson laces, which from what I've read are subpar?

Decided to go with maroon lace. Which lace is better/more consistent, Tanners or the fastpitch place?

Fordham Rams

Thanks for clarifying! Any opinion on maroon lace? My head tells me to go with tan for durability, as well as to match the original laces, but my daughter who is using this glove will be playing for a college next year that wears maroon.

I'm guessing based on other threads 2 x 1/4", 1 x 3/16", and 1 x 3/16" skivved? USA direct sells the skivved palm lace - not anything I would try to do myself! Is the skivved palm lace truly necessary? From what I've read, it's more comfortable, but is it more prone to break due to being thinner?

I need to relace this model glove, though mine looks a whole lot skankier than this picture! Wider lace needed for web and fingers, skivved lace for palm, correct?

Congratulations to Anna and your family, the travel ball journey definitely requires a commitment by everyone involved. Bonus points for having a wife with the same name as mine! ;)

If you decide to sell it, I may be interested. Nice glove!

We checked it out, and unfortunately it was kind of weak. A couple of 11.75 HOH, but the thumb loops were all smashed up inside. Almost bought a Heritage blem for $99.99, pretty nice and stiff aged-looking leather, but passed.

I have a SOG Navy Seal knife, but I'm not a collector. I play bass guitar, and the tone of a Fender Precision bass (which I have) has been described as "hollow grind." I thought it would make a cool handle. Ironically, with some of the crappy travel ball teams DD has played on, hollow grind...

DD gamed it in a friendly double header last Saturday, and it's close enough to where she'll bring it to showcase. She found the rigidity of the new mitt helps in her transfer to gun runners. I'll have to go check out the outlet. Better to go and not find anything interesting than skip it and...

I'll be in Florida this weekend for a softball tourney with my daughter. Has anyone here been to the Rawlings outlet in Orlando? If so, worth the detour?

Good point, I'll work the whole palm pad. She took it to school today, so I'll get on it tonight. How much Voodoo Blend would you apply during the break in? I don't want to go overboard, but I'm considering a second application on the palm and break points.

It's funny you posted that picture of the dumbbell, because I couldn't find my wife's set to pound on the break points Sunday. I just imitated Aso and sat cross legged on the floor pounding the mitt with my fists. Your post makes a good point about the palm pad. I should probably work it a...

I can't bring myself to dunk this mitt, either. I did that as a kid with my beloved Spalding Joe Torre model, and it ended up a floppy pancake with no discernable pocket. I'm sure putting it under the mattress and using liberal amounts of Glovolium from the tin can didn't help... No ovens. I...

Annasdad, this Voodoo Blend is really good stuff! Ordered a bottle last night online and picked it up this afternoon. One coat inside and out has made the mitt noticeably more pliable, and there's been virtually no darkening of the pretty blonde leather. I guess I'm going to have to come up...
