What people are saying about the Finch:
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| My daughter says this glove is really comfortable to wear. The soft liner keeps her hands from getting too sweaty. |
| The relief cuts are perfect for small hands and help ensure closure. |
| My 7-year-old daughter loves the easy-close on this glove. It’s a bit big, but I like to know she can grow into it. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| A bit difficult to break in, and has stayed stiff even after months of play. |
| It’s white, so it scuffs up easily. It can look really dirty. |
| The Finch is expensive. If this ever went on sale, I would buy it in a second. |
My very first glove was a pink sparkly Mizuno glove, and I loved it. The Finch is perfect for beginners because of the easy close and shock absorption. It's special because it was designed by Jennie Finch, a gold medalist who holds softball camps for younger kids. Many kids look up to her. This glove is unique because it has different pocket sizes, which is rare in a youth glove. Also, the Finch provides breathability to prevent the glove from falling off a sweaty hand. It molds quickly to be game-ready. It's not the most durable, but it's great for a few seasons of beginner play.
