Louisville Slugger Custom Tps glove 15"

[sloweddy31]

So I get a phone call from a buddy that plays ball with Shoppe and he tells me they messed up and sent him a custom RHt 15" glove to use and since he's wrong handed that I could have it. My question is what kind of leather is it and what can I expect form a frying pan for a glove...oh yea and his name is emborded in it, can that be removed...He said the glove is navy red and white

A picture is worth a thousand words …

 

[sloweddy31]

Very true and as soon as I have my hands on it I will post pics.

Being 15" and a tps and not tpx I'd say don't expect a Mercedes.

x2................not much of a market for a glove that big on here. i would like to see some pics of their version of the BFG.

This is the only pic that I could find.....

 

[sloweddy31]

He said it was a good leather and its free but I dont expect much.

The best leather is free leather.

I cannot imagine it actually measures 15". I have a 13.5" glove and it is almost unmanageably large -- I'd be tripping all over it. I need to see a pic with a tape held up to it.

I'm sure it's good quality if its made for a guy that plays at that level.

You play 16"?

 

[sloweddy31]

I dont but my buddy plays for shoppe and this is the glove he uses in the outfield. They made him a RHT and hes left handed so he told me I could have it. Im just not sure what I have here

 

[etnstudios]

that thing is a monster! what's it weigh?

 

[sloweddy31]

not sure. Its not as heavy as I thought it would be. I would say its just a tad heavier than my Rawlings gold glove 12.75 with a trap

Is this made in the Insignia factory here in the US or overseas?

 

[gold_glove9]

It looks insignia-esque. lol

 

[lightsout85]

Same glove that Robo (Robert Blackburn) had when I played in a charity tourney with him in June, thing is MASSIVE!

I think they are made by Insignia in Massachusetts. But I am surprised "Made in the USA" is not on the glove in a prominent size and place.

 

[sloweddy31]

It's on the tag inside the glove.

 

[jlaw]

That is an absurdly large glove. At what point does the law of diminishing returns take over? I'd feel completely disconnected trying to use something anywhere near that size.

 

[Mason4208]

These guys get paid to hit the ball. Not win gold gloves. I'd like to think that if I was 6'5 and 250 lbs I could consistently hit a 12" ball going 6mph 400ft....With .52 500 core balls....Resmondo played here at bld and had "special" balls they only used in their games.

 

[chrometip78]

So that's why I don't get paid to play, I'm only 6'3" and I'm not a gold glover. I like to think I have special balls though.

 

[mannyTXfresh]

interested in selling the glove?

Special balls huh please keep them for playing catch with yourself lol

 

[chrometip78]

Everybody wants to play with my equipment and I am a considerate person willing to share.

Sweet Jesus, I thought my 13.5 was huge. Like a damn cartoon glove.
