So many choices on the web list!!!
The pro H has long been the gold standard for outfielders... but damn if I don't like the way that Y Post looks. Good objective information has been hard to come by on the Y post, and what I do have is thanks to none other than the man himself Rous! The Y post attaches to the glove higher than the H web, and with 2 more holes. Does 16 points of contact make it significantly more rigid than 14..? Maybe. Maybe not.
It looks to me to be just a hybrid I web, developed so there would be more structure and rigidity at the end to counter the longer length of the glove.
My question is, ultimately, how does this affect pocket depth and overall performance assuming that the two webs (H and Y) are of equal width.
I do have someone checking the actual widths on them at the factory for comparison which will be forthcoming next week at some point.
Real world usage? I wanted a 12.5 glove strictly for utility. I have always primarily played in the infield, specifically at SS, but I have found myself in the outfield when asked.
I just want to make the best choice ladies and gents. I appreciate your input.
Discuss... Lord have mercy and grace on my soul.
