A soft grab that can be caught immediately after buying is popular
Will the children who started baseball continue to play baseball, or will they quit soon? It can be said that the first grab to pick up is the one that greatly affects fate. We asked the junior floor manager of the baseball equipment specialty store “Baseman” Iidabashi Main Store in Tokyo about grabs that are popular in the lower grades of elementary school and how to choose them. From the day I bought it, there is a glove that is soft enough to catch a ball immediately.
It is difficult for the lower grades of elementary school, whose hands are still small and their grip strength is weak, to handle grabs. Even if you start playing baseball for boys, if you can’t catch the ball, you may quit immediately without knowing the fun of baseball. That’s why choosing the first grab is so important.
Koichi Harunari, the manager of the baseball equipment specialty store “Baseman” in Tokyo, recommends “soft grabs as much as possible” in the lower grades of elementary school when he buys grabs for the first time. When comparing multiple grabs, children often emphasize softness. While many manufacturers pursue softness with grabs for beginners, SSK’s grabs are the ones that the manager of the Harunari Junior Floor feels the softest. It’s so soft that you can buy it and catch it as it is.
Rawlings’ grab, which is the second softest after SSK, does not tie the string on the wrist, so you can pull the string to adjust the size freely. The feeling that the grab fits in the hand is popular with children. SSK has also been improved so that the wrist part can be adjusted from this year.
