Oddball Webs

[Wally Gator]

Never had a basket connector web and now I've got a monster one incoming. Here's a toughy - the glove is black Horween oil treated leather from 2000. Would the tan web also be Horween or, because it was made in the Philippines, is it more likely to be JTan? Now an easy one - Rawlings currently offers 20+ webs and some real beauties from the past, which underdog web do you dig?

Nice snag! Heck of a deal too...

If you like basket webs you will love this one. Still has the flexibility of the basket with a bit more stability.

Yep, nice pickup! There was a 12" PP at the MB outlet that I was close to buying for Anna, it had that exact web, I liked it!

I forget who made it, but I saw an Asian glove that had a combo I-web/modified trap thing going on. It had a horizontal crossbar and the X-laces on the bottom half, mod-trap from the crossbar up.

Not that I dig it, but here's an odd one!

Makes sense. I've seen some Asian webs that I couldn't describe because of their awkward shapes.

Turn it upside down and you have the Valentine web.

Yeah, I could get that for my wife Feb. 14th, that'd go over great!

idk if its old but I thought the Boombah I web/ichiro was kinda weird

Reminds me of this old Rawlings XPG. @davisrelacing can you do this web?

The number of web options on Japanese Mizuno and Asics Pro Orders is absolutely staggering. Below are some of my favorite weird ones.

Even though it looks like a tie, I’m digging the bottom orange one

As strange as that looks at first glance, it actually makes sense from a functional standpoint. It would be flexible in the pocket area and on the index side of the web (where most gloves bend when they close) but it would be stiff and reinforced on the thumb side.

The number of web options on Japanese Mizuno and Asics Pro Orders is absolutely staggering.

You can't beat Japanese pitcher's gloves for refined style. The webs look like a solid piece of leather from a distance, then you get a close look and see what's really going on.

I just realized the top one's web looks like a baseball, very nice.

You can actually get a custom from Gloveworks with that same style web. I've thought of ordering one.

Not too crazy but unique with the lace. Working on an X web for my MIJ UA like the Xanax OF gloves.

Man, this glove in tan and in a 12.25” would be BA! Very cool looking glove Drum, love that web!

Edit: The more I stare at it the more I like that color!

I like it when manufacturers take an existing, traditional web and just add lacing embellishments like that. My favourite is the single post web with herringbone lacing.

that mizzy is beautiful. the only thing i'd change is the single x's at the base of the web. just looks a touch flimsy
