Figured it was a good time to start my own thread.

First up, a Louisville Slugger Pro Flare PF14-CR relaced in my wife's team colors. I was surprised at how soft and pliable this leather is. I guess that i expected it to be on the stiffer side with camel leather. No big deal as it's still a nice glove and I only plan to use it with her team for warming them up and such. I also didn't really care for the way that the fingers were laced on this. Seemed like some unnecessary knots and I prefer the more traditional pattern so i changed to that with a minor change to fill a hole on the pinky.

13" Spalding Pro Select swapped to a huge hweb

was a great glove that swallowed a softball until the stitching in the finger stalls started coming undone

Spalding Pro Select swapped to a single post for a blurry buddy lol

Nice work! I'm not a fan of the Wilson-style finger lacing either; your solution for the extra pinkie hole is exactly how I have handled it.

thanks! means a lot, makes me think i'm learning something along the way lol.

Because the holes on the front of the fingers are closer together than on a Rawlings style glove, that lace does need to go around the padding. I wish there were an easy way to punch holes in the internal padding so I could feel the lace through it (rather than around). Vinci has actually started doing that and its a great feature.

what exactly are you guys talking about? The lace that is knotted up on the inside of the pinky?

the back of the fingers on the Louisville in post 1

Easton EPG35B this is a ridiculous pattern as is highlighted by the yellow lol. the base part of the web has lace that would normally run inside but i moved to the outside since it was essentially just tucked in there not doing much of anything.

there was a mistake or 2 made along the way, one by choice but, since it's mine for gaming, i wasn't going back to fix lol. had enough!

Easton EPG81WT. i had one of these several years ago when i didn't know a heck of a lot about gloves. i decided to pick up 2 of these for a good deal so i could relace one for my wife since she liked my Louisville above so much. her team colors after all. these came very narrow as originally laced and i figure that's at least in part due to wherever they were kept for the last 4-5 years. opened up nicely with the relace and probably would have kept my original if i'd have known what i know now. beautiful, stiff Seto leather on these.

also changed the finger lacing like i did on the Louisville

Interesting update of a DCT pattern. Web and surrounding area like a DCT, but a double-break heel. I an think of a lot of guys who would like that. Does it like to close thumb to pinkie (DCTs fight that a bit).

 

[etnstudios]

it doesn't close at all at the moment lol. i picked this up new a while ago because i lost my old one and never got it all that broken in. now with so much new lace going in, it's stiffer than it was when new. if it breaks like the 35BW i had then it shouldn't be any problem

 

[fredderf]

you mean the 2 Spaldings?

Hate you.

Tan gloves respond so well to cleaning and conditioning.

 

[fredderf]

That tan lace looks great!
