Kind of funny you posted this. Good timing actually would be more accurate. I just picked up a pair a couple days ago. I will be doing a review on them soon on the site here, but here's the skiny. They feel very comfortable on your hands, and certainly provide better shock protection across the knuckles.
I would warn you of a couple of things however. First off, they dont wrap tightly across the top of the hand, so you dont get nearly the same wuality protection from these as you would a traditional handwrap. They have these two velcro pieces that make an "X" across the top of the hand, I'm guessing to make it look like the "x" you get when wrapping with a proper handwrap. Unfortunately they fail to do an even adequate job, so they are purely for show. Also, the wrist wrap doesnt cover the top and bottom of the wrist like a real handwrap, so you get less protection there too.
If your seriously training in the gym, I would not recommend these. However, if your doing some aerobic training, or you simply dont have a pair of traditional handwraps available, these could get the job done.
Basically, you'll get more knucle protection than a traditional handwrap, but you'll sacrifice top of the hand protection, snug fit and wrist protection.

It is better to have a catchers glove because it has a pocket for the ball to fit better and some gloves even have a different color on the sides to make a frame for the pitcher
I think the k18 have a better grip than the sugar daddy's and i also think the k18s are a better glove.
It is up to personal preference. I like cloth wraps because I feel that I can wrap my hands tighter and provide better protection. I feel gloves are impersonal and one size fits all and don't povide adequate protection.
AnswerBy the rules of MLB, you can use a catchers mitt or even no glove at all in the outfield. The reason they don't use a first baseman's glove is that they don't need to. A first baseman's glove is bigger so that a less than perfect throw, or a liner in foul territory has a better chance of being caught. Outfeilders move to the ball, so they don't need a bigger glove. A first baseman's glove has a flat side, therefore as the outfielder is moving it would be harder for him to catch the ball; also, a first baseman's mitt is heavier than an outfielder's glove.
rawlings Heck no a rawlings is in no way better than a Wilson i have a Wilson a2k and in my opionon no glove in this world besides maybe a akadema would even come close to the amazing Wilson. rawlings are good but Wilson are great
If there are only a few wraps, the magnetic field will be weaker than if there are many more wraps.
The ove glove is basically an oven mitt. It can handle higher temperatures than a regular oven mitt and rather than a mitten shape, it is a glove which means it is easier to grip hot items.
More than $48,000
A baseball outfielder glove is usually 12 1/2 to 12 3/4 inches from the tip of the index finger to the heel of the glove. A softball outfielder glove is usually 13 1/2 to 14 inches from the tip of the index finger to the heel of the glove. Since a softball is larger than a baseball, a softball glove will be larger than a baseball glove. However, this doesn't mean that you can't use a baseball glove for playing softball. It just means that you will have less margin of error when catching the softball because of the smaller pocket a baseball glove has.
It has worked extremely well for me. I have lost over 24 inches over period of about 5 months doing just the wraps and increasing my water intake....not too shabby. And they are a lot cheaper than most of the other wraps on the market.

Leather quality, pro preferred retains shape, gold glove is pre broken in so it loses its shape easily, price, overall quality.
