Daughter chose a Nokona glove as her favorite

June 10th, 2010

Our young daughter has resolved that softball is the sport and she’ll play 1st base.I’m thrilled, my better half is concerned she’ll get hurt. She worries all the time. I tell her be happy that it’s not football or wrestling One thing I had been getting excited about has been choosing her youth softball mitt. I remember finding my first baseball glove with my dad. Which in fact had been many years ago, so i decided to check out the youth softball gloves of today. The net is loaded with lots of selections for the fastpitch gloves. This was going to be a good time.

Right after my girl started out playing, she was given first base. I had been a shortstop, so I reckoned this was good. Now we needed to check out 1st base mitts. First base gloves are actually distinctive from other infield softball gloves. First basemen’s gloves are actually comparable to catcher’s mitts. First base mitts are usually longer obviously, however they also do not have individual fingertips. 1st base gloves can be found in either left and right, my daughter is left handed.

So, we were hoping to find a a lefty youth softball glove. My initial inclination was to check out a first base softball mitt from Nokona. I always used a Nokona glove whenever I played ball. The Nokona glove which I used was an infield mitt, and so I needed to see alternative brand names too. I know the endorsed mitts of the MLB are Rawlings gloves. That doesn’t automatically render the Rawlings gloves better than the Nokona mitt, but it means they are well worth a look.

Rawlings has first basemens softball mitts too, so at least they had versatility. I learned that 1st basemen’s softball mitts weren’t any different as compared to first basemens gloves for baseball. The range of Rawlings gloves was tremendous. In the Rawlings internet site there are 499 choices for Rawlings softtball or baseball gloves. Thankfully one could slim the Rawlings mitts choices down by how you throw and then youth and then infield softball gloves. This helped a great deal. Soon I was able to pick out the 2 or 3 Rawlings gloves which I believed were going to work for my young softball player.

I thought about going back to the Nokona glove of my childhood. I decided to check out the particular options they had to present too. They manufacture plenty of infield gloves from which to choose. I uncovered the ideal 1st base mitt. At this point I needed to choose.

Finally, I determined to get the Nokona glove and one from the Rawlings gloves. My superstar first base softball player alternates between them depending on her superstitions. She’s having a blast playing softball, and my spouse is content that the girl has not gotten injured. Now I’m getting excited about my girl becoming older so she can play high school fastpitch. I definitely count on getting her another softball glove. Also can’t wait to shop for some youth baseball gloves for the youngest son (only 6) and softball gloves through the rest of their early years.
