The Features: The Primo series features a distinctive oxblood color, direct embroidery, hand-sewn welting, 100% wool padding and lacing tested to 100lb tensile strength. Utilizing Dual Core technology, Rawlings created a glove with two layers of the finest Italian Leather that work in tandem to create a pocket built for performance at YOUR position. Additionally, position specific break points are strategically placed within the pattern to allow your hand to close upon ball impact while at the same time the inner palm and lining adjusts to the shape of the outer palm to help absorb impact.
The Rating: Everything mentioned above is directly from the Rawlings web site. It all sounds very good and this series is certainly the creme of the crop. I wish the price was a bit more affordable. At $399, it puts it out of the reach of most glove shoppers. The debate is how much better is it than HOH? The Italian leather is a big win - although as I have mentioned, I love HOH. I love this series however I am not sure I can recommend it over HOH. It just does not deliver results that are $100-$150 better than HOH. But - a terrific glove series. Rated 4 of 5 stars .
The Glove: The model above PRM1150T is an 11.5" model with a modified Trapeze web. This glove is primarily use at the shortstop/pitcher positions.
