“High level catcher’s mitt with Japanese Kip leather. Leather is sound and light weight. Very maneuverable mitt for blocking. I am still getting a feel for it for framing but anticipate it working well given it’s is so light. Durability can only be tested over time. I have used the MLB brand “HOH” for the last 10+ years which is a solid mitt IMO, but is much thicker and much heavier. So we will see if there are trade offs. That said, my 44 is very tight around my pinky finger when closing. Hoping this loosens up as the mitt breaks in more and will continue to adjust the wrist strap to see if this alleviates it without compromising control. Thumb loop/section is better than prior mitts even for off center receiving. I don’t have large hands but they wider than average in the palm so that may have something to do with this and I am not catching for guys throwing that hard (80 mph max). If I had to do over, I would have gotten a 34” instead of a 33.5”. Overall, a great looking mitt and great sounding mitt when receiving the ball. I would highly recommend giving 44 a try.”
“Got the glove for my 14 year old for his birthday. Great quality and price. He has a heart of the hide and A2000 and the quality is comparable. Son, when does Paul.”
“There are plenty of other glove companies to choose from. I went with 44 because of the amount of custom options available, and honestly the word of mouth. For being a one off glove, they got it to me in less time than I expected. The glove is absolutely flawless and I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on it. It is so good that I bought my oldest daughter one for Christmas this year and I bought custom batting gloves for myself and my three daughters who play fast pitch. The quality and craftsmanship is unmatched. I hope to be blessed enough to keep buying more 44 products.”
“This is our fourth custom glove from 44 Pro. When I ordered my son and daughter their first custom gloves in February 2022, I spent considerable time researching different options. Both gloves—an infield glove for my son and a catching glove for my daughter—have held up exceptionally well and remain in great condition. I needed a backup catching glove for my daughter as a precaution, allowing her to rotate between gloves based on her preference. Since then, I’ve purchased additional gloves for my daughter: another catching glove in April 2023 and an infield glove in August 2024. Each glove was customized to her specifications and has proven to be durable and reliable. She began playing in the infield, and 44 Pro was her first choice for a glove. Given the consistent quality and performance of the gloves, I will continue to rely on 44 Pro for any future glove purchases.”
