Home of 'broken-in' baseball gloves and softball gloves by Master Glovesmith Dave Katz
Here are just a few terms that manufacturers will use to confuse you into buying their product. There are thousands more!
"SPEED DRIVE TECHNOLOGY"...... are we talking cars or gloves?
"VIBRATION OIL PROCESSING"......... something to do with motors, I think.
"DEGUCHI LEATHER".... must be good.... it's Italian!
"SHIKA PALM LINER"...... ok, I give up... is it a bird?
"COUNTER BALANCED"...... what?
"RUGGED NEW PATCH"....... that's a reason to buy a glove?
"BIO THROWBACK LEATHER"......... Didn't Marty McFly have one of those?
"TIMBERGLASE LEATHER"..... almost sounds edible!
"TUSCAN LEATHER"....... my couch is made from that.
ONE MAJOR MANUFACTURER... "W" FOR SHORT... DESCRIBES AN EXPENSIVE GLOVE THIS WAY:
"THIS 11.5" GLOVE FEATURES A SHALLOW AND STABLE POCKET TO HELP YOU GET IN THE BALL IN AND OUT WHILE KEEPING YOUR ANKLES INTACT." No lie, that's word for word!
