The ABB-B53 is a 12.5" two-tone glove, with a double bar web, closed back and deep pocket. It's excellent for scooping up ground balls and bad throws. This is a brand new model I think you will like a lot. It has a great look and feel, the size allows for manageable ground balls and scoops and the double hinge really closes around a ball! The glove itself is designed not to break down easily, something that happens to many 1st baseman mitts... and check out the lacing... it's really thick...and everywhere!
