"Summary: None. Pros: Bought for son when he started playing catcher on his HS team.  Needed something quality that could hold up against HS pitchers, but also something that would be game ready relatively quickly (needed to replace another catchers mitt that wasn't doing the job).  Also, we weren't in the market for a super expensive glove because we weren't sure he would be playing catcher past this season.  He used it in practice for a week to catch bullpen, worked with it at home to break it in, and was able to use it in a game within a week.  But it still has enough structure to protect his hand and last the season without falling apart.  And it was on sale, which made mom happy.  He says it snaps closed, holds the ball in the pocket, and is a great glove.  He feels like it is helping him be successful.  The other catchers on the team are now looking to buy one for themselves. Cons: None "
