What is the ideal size for playing 3B in slowpitch? Also, any recommendations on decent gloves that won't break the bank?
So this thread was 6-6 in suggesting 12.75" and you bought a 12"? What was the point of the thread?
I think hand size should be taken into account too. If you have a small hand 13-14 inch gloves I think are too big. I had a 14 I would use for OF but ended up ditching it because the ball would pop out a lot. Went with 12.75 and now I use that for all positions. Although I do keep the 14 in case I play 1B.
Hey all - I'm in the exact same boat as this guy. I'm 3 years into slow pitch now, and I've gravitated towards 3rd. I could see myself playing SS, 2B, or in the outfield if needed. Right now I have a cheap 14" glove and it's just too big for 3B, and it's a crap glove, so I'm ready to buy something nice.
Based on the input here, it looks like this is one of my better options (Rawling GGE 12.75).
However I've also had my eye on the Muzuno's Pro Series, but can't find one smaller than 13". Would I regret going 13 over the 12.75? It seems .25" wouldn't make a huge difference, but I could be wrong.
Adding the Vinci 12.75 as an option as well.
