A lot of good info and especially that with your son being 9-10 you don't want to go with a "youth" glove. My son is 9 and last year he used a HOH PRO1175-6TI which was great but it got too deep for him. This year he is using a Wilson A1K DP15 (EXCELLENT GLOVE) Even though it is technically a down grade from the HOH, I feel that it is better suited for him. Very well made, lightweight, great pattern and lastly as stated above they have been on and off clearance at a few different places and can be found for as low as $66 shipped. Though I am a big Rawlings fan, I personally feel that though the Gold Glove Gamer series is good for youngsters, it is pretty far behind the Wilson A1K series. Good luck in your search!
