I really like those, an excellent choice. :biggthumpup:
Excellent choice. I saw one of those at play it again sports yesterday but it was left handed...talk about a bummer, I thought I'd hit the jackpot for a second.
I have wilson a2ks, a2000, softball pro flares, pro preferred mizuno and a few others but my favorite gloves are my hoh's and I like the JB ones the best. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine.

Five gloves for me, my son and daughter since August thanks to this site and Gloveworks. 2 HOH's and the rest PP's and I love the smell of our house even more now.

What is the leather like on this glove compared to the dual core HOHs you can find at b&m store SA?

I love you make having an uncontrollable addiction sound so good. "appreciating good leather"
That being said I only have 1 glove these days,,,, but my 8 year old has 4. I'm living out my addiction through him.
Nice pick up though... these are great if you like 13" gloves!

Yeah I do the same thing. My 11 year old has 5 gloves. He likes them but would honestly be fine with 1. When he plays first base he doesn't use the first base mitt and when he plays outfield he forgets to get his outfield glove half the time. At least when he catches he uses his hoh catchers mitt and fortunately he has a japan a2000 and a pro preferred to play infield with...true sickness

Nice selection there!
My boy actually rotates his gloves well. He has HOH PRO1175-6TI for middle IF, A2000 DW5 for 3B OF and P, A2K 2800 for 1B and lastly an Easton PRO KIP 33.5" catchers mitt.

Congrats!
Now make sure you learn all you can about breaking it in properly. A lot of guys do some stupid things when they make a big jump in quality like that. Invest in a glove mallet.
Will do. Just played some catch yesterday before league and couch catch the last couple days. Incredibly stiff compared to what I'm used to so I stuck with my old glove for the game last night until it breaks in some more.

Ya no need to rush the break in. Once a part of that glove become flexible or even "floppy" it can't be undone(unless you do glove surgery). So go slow and break in the proper areas/creases only.
