I'm new to softball, but enjoy it enough that I've decided I want to invest in a custom glove. There are a wide variety of manufacturers and prices out there for custom gloves. There are an even wider range of reviews. Obviously the Wilson and Rawlings gloves are nicer than the $150 gloves out there. Are there any middle of the road manufacturers out there? The Wilson and Rawlings gloves seem to be more geared toward baseball. Is it better to have a softball pattern glove verse a baseball pattern or does it matter? Also, most of the higher end gloves stop at 12.75-13". I currently play right field with a cheap off the shelf 13" Louisville glove and do fine. Would I be better off with a 13.5 or 14" glove? Is a 12.75" going to feel drastically smaller than a 13"? Thanks for the advice.
