BRAND NEW W/OUT TAGS LOUISVILLE TPX PRO FLARE FL1150 BASEBALL GLOVE - 11.5" LH (Left Hand Throw)
Retail - $249.99
THIS IS A VERY, VERY NICE GLOVE! IT'S MADE OF THE OLD SCHOOL HORWEEN LEATHER AND HAS A MUCH STIFFER FEEL IN THE PALM, FINGERS & HEEL THAN THE CURRENT MODELS. IN FACT, THIS GLOVE IS EXTREMELY STIFF!
This glove has been discontinued and is pretty much impossible to find in New condition.
Note: The glove color is BLACK AND CAMEL. There are several areas on the glove where there is minor evidence of dye transfer to the camel leather. It's clear the previous owner(s) stored and stacked the glove with other gloves of a different color. I always make it a point to store each of my gloves in an aerated plastic bag to prevent dye transfer from one glove to another. I tried listing pictures of the affected areas but it's so minor that it's very difficult to pick up on my camera.
TIP: Many of the premium gloves including Rawlings Pro Preferred & Heart of the Hide, Wilson's A2000 & A3000, Mizuno's Classic Pro and Pro Limited, etc. are somewhat stiff when brand new. A quality glove conditioner will do much to reduce the break-in period for any stiff new glove . Almost all glove conditioners will generally darken the leather and appearance of lighter colored gloves. If you buy a new glove and don't like the look of the pre-oiled palm area, condition the glove with a premium product such as Wilson's Pro Stock Glove Conditioner and the pocket/palm area will darken and blend in more with the rest of the glove. TIP: Regardless of whether you prefer the natural method of breaking in a glove, sooner or later you will have to recondition your glove! Personally, I recommend cleaning and conditioning a glove each and every year after a good season of use. All leather gloves will start to dry out and laces will become brittle when subjected to regular use. Prolonged exposure to sand and dirt, wind, rain, hot sun, etc. will take its toll on even the very best glove. PLEASE stay away from those cheap oils, foams or other liquid products out there on the market. The foams don't work and liquids such as oils are absorbed deep into the glove, add a tremendous amount of weight, and are nothing more than a magnet for attracting dirt and debris. Also, PLEASE don't ever bake your baseball glove in the oven or microwave or soak it in the tub to aid in the break-in process. You will invariably destroy a very fine piece of leather and take years off a gloves life! Personally, I never use anything but a paste type glove conditioner. Although I prefer Wilson Pro Stock Glove Conditioner, there are comparable products on the market from manufacturers such as Easton, Nokona, etc. Regardless of what brand of paste type conditioner you choose to use, do yourself a favor and make sure it contains lanolin and vitamin E. Nothing is better at restoring and revitalizing the leather on your glove! With a little care, your glove should last for many years and most likely outlive your baseball career.
