Looks like a couple extra knots but it looks good still. I like the pink. Surprised you did have to go full pink lace. Haha kinda makes me wants run pink lace in mine.

Eye of the beholder. Nokona like their knots too.
The pocket-side looks the same. I like the look of it.

Not a fan. Looks more like they wanted to save a few bucks on their assembly line and punch holes on all their gloves to accommodate a basket web.

I'd do the smaller of the two. It's easier to fudge 1/4" with some extra lace than to try to make a web that is too large fit.

It is hard to really visualize how much just an extra .25" adds to the pocket depth. I think 7.75"x5.5 would be a pretty good size on this glove. If you really want it to play way deep, ask for the top bar at 5.5 and the middle bar at 5.75" and then have them make it 8" long. The web will bow out a bit.

Both the 12.75" and the 13" I measured had 7.75" I-trap pieces. That being said, I think they built in some future bowing into them as they stick up past the thumb/index finger. So yeah, 7.5"x5.5" would give you a pretty wide web and 7.75" with a .25" wider middle bar than the top would give you a more pronounced basket.

Don't order the lace from Glovesmith, problem solved

If you are ordering the web from Glovesmith (USASportsDirect), then ask if they can cut you a 72" piece of 1/4". I am going to bet they can since you are ordering the web. If you are ordering a standard H web or single post, even 66" should be long enough. If you get a double bar single post (so 4 horizontal bars total), then you need about 84" of lace to do it in one piece.

I did both mine (12.75) and pbsoftball's (13) with 7.75" x 5"
Loving the look of the murdered out logos on the glove on the right!

These are still selling dirt cheap. I scored a 12 3/4" glove for $40 and a first base mitt for $34.88 last night. A glove and a mitt for less than 90 bucks shipped!!
I can never bring myself to black out logos because it kills the resale value but these are such deals I wouldn't feel as bad about it, and I agree that they look good. I've had a number of these go through my hands but still don't have any of my own and am not sure why.

I redid the web lace and cleaned it up a little but I'm really liking this glove. Breaking in nicely and the pattern is pretty nice. It's the 12" mod trap version.
How big is the hand stall in the 12 inch gloves. I'm looking for a glove for someone with xxl paws who doesn't like his current glove because it is too tight. The 12.75's and 13's I have had on seem to have about average to slightly large hand stalls. Are the 12's similar in that regard?

I have xl hands and it's comfortable. TIP was snug until I dunked it but that went away with a little work.

Where do you go on Glovesmith's site to order webs? I dont see it there anywhere.
