Let me preface this post by informing you that I’ve already searched the Baseball Fever website for other posts concerning baseball gloves and did not find the answer I was looking for in those posts.
I’m looking at a number of different baseball gloves to replace my floppy, paddingless old Roy Hobbs 12" baseball glove. Upon looking around the internet, I’ve narrowed my choices to the following:
Akadema

Nokona

[size=9]NOTE: The first link is to a Kangaroo leather Nokona, while the second is to a nearly identical glove with another type of leather.[/size]
Specifically, I’d like my new glove to be 12" open back and durable. Which of these gloves would you recommend and why. Please include how long it takes to break in the glove. I trust your opinions, and I thank you for taking the time to respond to my post.
