    Do you have to order top of the line gloves online? Want to look at a wilson as2000 or some Akadema gloves before I spend 200 dollars. The regular places I've been too dont have anything good...any reps out there?

    Thanks

    My DD likes her Worth Liberty. You cant find them in regular retail, you will have to go to the shops like Charlie said or you can buy them online. It is nice to see one first so it is worth a few bucks more to give your business to the guy that lets you try one.

    Recently purchased a Mizuno Classic Fastpitch OF Glove @ Grandslam in Raleigh for daughter for well under $200. The Mizuno Steamer they use works great! Staff is very helpfull and they do have a great selection to choose from.

    Never used a glove steamer. How long does it take and how much cost. Several girls on my team have new gloves and I may be in the area this weekend. Thanks.

    My daughter loves her Nokona. Took a while to break in, but I think she'll use it through all 4 years of High School and into college as well.
