I play 3rd base and I currently use a 12 1/2 inch glove there. I know that it is customarily a 11 1/2, but I have been using this one. Should I switch gloves and what would be advantages? I know small glove less time digging in glove.

Using a larger glove can only give you a little more space to be able to snag a hotshot down the line. I would probably stick with the smaller one.

you'll be suprised by how much better you can dig those back hands if you shave off that one inch to an 11 1/2
bigger is not better.

I used a 12 3/4 Rawlings Gold glove this year. IMO 12 1/2 is way to big in the infield. 11 3/4 would be the max for me and I'd probablly go with the 11 1/2 since you play 3rd (I play second so you have more time to get the ball out of your glove).

Anyone see any new infielder gloves that caught your eyes? I want to move back into second base and I don't like how my previous glove broke in

I'm thinking 11.75 inch glove. Anyone know of a good cheap one?

I've been looking on Ebay for 11.75 gloves and I found this TPX glove that caught my eye. The only problem is this one picture which makes me hesitant. Is it me or does the glove look bent in this picture and is it something I should worry about or not?
