This is the second baseball glove that Buckler sent me. The first was a 12.75” Texas steer hide glove. I was impressed by the glove but it was taking a very long time to form to my hand. It’s a super heavy duty glove which has its own ups and downs. This time Buckler sent me a 11.5” Premium US Steer Hide glove. So far I’m a huge fan of this glove! It’s been forming to my hand much much much more quickly and the leather feels great. In fact the leather is actually very comfortable to the touch. Due to the glove being so comfortable and quick to break in my only concern is the gloves durability. I’m hoping that it doesn’t break down quickly but I will let you know if that is the case. The glove has two natural hinges at the thumb and pinky and I love it. This is great for infielders who want to have a long lasting glove because you can keep the palm and heel stiff for a longer period of time.
Let me know what other up and coming glove companies I need to review! - Sport
hello I'm Korean and I'm fan of your channel . As far as I know, Buckler is made in Indonesia and designed by Korean company named Inkojava, Buckler glove is subsidiary of Inkojava.
This company is famous to student players for cheap price in Korea, like 44 glove in USA. And this company's Japanese version is named David, USA's version is Buckler
This is great info thanks for sharing!!!
Thx for all the reviews. Just ordered my first 44 cuz of all the great things u say about them. Thank u man
No problem! Thanks for watching!!
if you got an infield glove it will wear fast and get floppy
It’s always a good day when the ball glove king posts😮💨
Love the vid as always, keep it up king👑
Thank you sir!
Thank you for giving a great review on these gloves. ❤️❤️(btw I would love to see a nokona review)
You’re welcome!!
Great video. Love your detailed breakdowns. Knowing how the glove likes to close, how easy it is to break in, etc. is valuable information to have when considering online-only gloves like Buckler.
As a general request for future videos, I'd also love to hear how the glove fits (e.g. how tight are the finger stalls, how much room is there in the thumb and pinky, etc...) maybe with comparisons to more familiar gloves like a Rawlings 200 pattern or a Wilson 1786. As a player with smaller hands, a lot of gloves just don't stay on my hand comfortably so the fit has a major influence on my purchasing decisions. For this reason, I only like to buy gloves that I can try on in person, but getting that info here might make me more comfortable with an online-only option.
Also I'd love to see a review of a glove from a Japanese company like Zett or Kubota Slugger!
thanks for watching and those are great tips!
I love Japanese brands, I'll be trying to get them more involved on the channel
I got my 44 and I love it so far great for the price for sure
I have a question will the hot water treatment make my maroon laces seep into my white leather srry to bother you
I can’t say for sure but I would guess that it would bleed just a little bit
Thank you I was just making sure so I would know to do it or not

I would love to see a review on a rico custom glove from you . They have 3 different levels and no one has really ever explained or showed the differences in a video. Love the videos keep up the good work
I’ll try to get in touch with them!
Rico is a clone glove.
Hey great job on the video! I have one question do you recommend doing the how water treatment on a powder blue and red Rawlings glove.
love ur recent videos
Thanks bro!
I like that glove. Good video
Thanks bro!
Rock Customs is something I’d like to see you review!
You should review Tater their located in CT.
Outside of the dual welting, it looks like it leans more Rawlings
Love u dad
Right back at ya son
Love it 😊
Take a look at High Leverage (HL). 100% custom. I mean 100%. The leather, style,whatever type of web, and I mean which ever. I saw a web from an SSK glove and they hand made the web to look exactly like it.
Phalanx: pronounced: fai- lai- n- x
Great video!!
Lol thanks
U should do a review on Ricogloves
i cannot find a buckler phalanx for sale anywhere
check amazon, if they aren't there they are likely sold out currently
Can you recommend a quantity glove that is under $150 for an 11u mif. Currently has a 44pro JP11 but complains he still cannot close it like his old A1000 (which is flat).
What are the best ways to get a palm stain I really like the look
Review the aria gloves
you should do a Marucci glove next
I hope to soon
i think these gloves would be great for the outfield and potentially 1B if they make their 1B gloves similarly
I think you’re right!
Please review the tiger gloves, I would appreciate that.
I’ll try to
E visto todo tus vídeos
gracias por verlos a todos !!
Hey i have a question abt breaking in the glove. So i jus got the rawlings proflex adult baseball glove and its shape is pretty similar to the triangle shape but im having difficulty breaking it in properly. It still has like to bumps on the palm side in spite of me sleeping on it w a ball on the bumps. Its also still a little stiff. Do u have any recommendations?
Ever had a gloveworks? I highly recommend
Not yet but hopefully soon!
Can you do ssk please
Where in Chicago do you live? I’m in the Schaumburg/Hoffman Estates area
Can you please do a review on the company Rico custom baseball gloves
I will soon I’ve tried getting in contact but they have ghosted me
Could you please do a review of Bucklers catchers mitt? Have you heard anything about the catchers gloves?
check out my Japanese catchers mitt break in
Thank You! I want to purchase one for my 13U son. The video was very informative.
I have a question about 44 pro glove, you think mesh would be a good option on a catchers mitt
Definitely, if you think you want a slightly looser and/or lighter catchers mitt that would be a good option
the ball glove king lives in the same city as me!?!?!
No way!
Recently I have been looking for a new 44 glove, I dont know if I should go Pro stiff or Standard? This is my first time breaking in a glove I im willing to break in well. And I dont know if stiff would be to hard to break in.
I honestly think it’s better to go with standard. They just do a little bit of work on the glove to make sure it’s shaped well before sending it out.
Every other major glove brand does the same thing so it’s not like they are messing up your glove
@@ballgloveking Thanks :)
I went to the Buckler website today and they don’t have Phalanx. Was one of your suggestions to change the name? Maybe they listened? The Matrix on their site looks similar (USA Steerhide) but I’m not sure.
Check out Amazon, they may be on there still
Cool video, Im a bit sad because I live in Germany and I can't order 44 and more gloves.
That’s so sad!
@@ballgloveking yup
44 ships to Germany
Lol thanks Benny
really!?
hey chris i have a question, so when you break in your gloves do you break it in thumb to ring finger or thumb to pinky ???
It’s different with every glove but I typically lean more toward thumb to ring finger if I’m going two in the pinky
@@ballgloveking How about with a 44 pro
You gotta re-lace some laces so those fingers wont flare out. Im not saying replace, just re-lace a little tighter.
I kinda like it though!
Comparo vid between buckler vs toro???
That’s a good idea
Can you get a Bradley glove and do a review
I’ll hit them up to see if they wanna send something over for us to review!
Is it better than a 44? Also, did they fix the shape yet?
It’s hard to say it’s better because it all comes down to preference but for steer hide leather it’s fantastic! 44 uses Kip leather so it’s hard to compare
But the shape turned out to never be a problem! After doing just a small amount of work to shape it in my preference it was perfect!
For 44 do their gloves have a thumb sleeve. I’ve heard they are pretty uncomfortable
They don’t have a thumb insert, it’s just a standard thumb loop
Buckler is backwards , they sell their Kip leather for less than Steerhide! A2k Pro Preferred Kip, A2000 , HOH steerhide ! Buckler goes from Kip,US Steerhide,TexasSteerhide..
If you had to choose between 44 gloves and Buckler who’d you pick? Why?
Buckler for days, 44’s are too unpredictable. I have some that are super nice while others I wouldn’t want to use as a gamer.
Buckler has been super consistent plus I’m a big fan of steerhide leather over the Kip leather 44 uses. Kip is cheap and easy to use for a solid glove but solid steerhide is also super nice and what I prefer. Quality steerhide for cheap just seems less common
Thank you very much for sharing your insights. Really!!!!
Can you get a All Stars glove and do a review??????
Maybe in the future
Do you think that this glove would last longer than a hoh?
Sadly it’s not that simple, there’s different types of hoh’s so some yes and others no
@@ballgloveking ohhh ok thank you for the quick response. Happy lords day
can you make a review of trevor story's heart of the hide pls
In the future!
@@ballgloveking THANKS
Steelo sports need a good review
True
Yo what do you think is the best model of 44 gloves for an infield position??
If you like a deep pocket go with 574 if not go with the pro 44 model
@@ballgloveking what do you think about the japan select?
It’s very different from a typical US ball glove, you should look into what Japanese gloves are like.
I’m not saying it’s bad but it is very different
@@ballgloveking i like the whole quick transfer and shallow pocket im thinking of a t web japan select for 2nd base
Hey Chris was this at Wheaton Academy baseball fields ?
Yes sir!
@@ballgloveking hahah that’s great ! Great field 💪
Emphasize the first syllable: should sound like FAIL-anx.
Dude, fay-lanx =), Great video though!
Do u have a TikTok cuz I think making tiktoks would benefit u
I’ve messed around with tiktok before but I’ve never really committed to using it
for the price nothing beats 44 pro 🤷🏻🤷🏻
Meh. Too many glove companies now to know that. 44s aren’t anything special.
@@stephendre2902 where else u gettin a fully custom glove for basically 140$ cuz they always on sale and above avg leather qual ?
hey man whats the cost on this glove? cant find it on canadian amazon :(
That stinks bro, I bet they don’t ship to Canada
It’s $200 here
This glove seems real awesome. Still loving my 44 though. The outfield softball pattern is HUGE! 13.5" plays way bigger than that. Almost too big
13.5” that’s huge!!!
Lol yeah it is but it helps me be a vacuum in center field!!
Rico
you did NOT pronounce phalanx right, but love the video as always.
Lol I looked it up after I finished editing hahah sorry
If it's above $160, why not just go with a 44?
Because a lot of gloves are better than a 44 and that’s why they are more expensive
44’s are great for the price but they are not the best glove out there
Is the Buckler Hoplite Series glove a good glove for high school outfield? I am not sure if I should get the Buckler Hoplite or the Rawlings GG elite.
Buckler is probably better bang for buck
what does dual welting do to the glove
Dual welting is almost doubling the amount of welting on the glove which provides some extra durability. It also just has a different feel in general that some people like more
@@ballgloveking Is it a big difference because I got a custom 44 pro and did dual welting and didn't even thought what it does
I have a 44 with dual welting and it’s actually my favorite 44 I have and it feels more durable than my others
Review an Anonymous Custom Glove
I’ll try to get in touch with them
emery
please
They gotta send me something! I’ve heard great things
I would get it but I do have my finger out so ya
It's pronounced faylanks and it's actually an ancient Spartan war method of rows and rows of spears placed at different degrees to protect the men
That’s sick!
FIRST 😩
Dedication
YO!
YO!!
ssk gloves
yo
Yo yo
dude a 44 is cheaper and id rather just get one of those
I know I’m late to this vid and I don’t want to be a grammar nazi but I’m pretty sure phalanx is pronounced ( fay-lanks)
Hahah yes you’re right, if only I took the time to look it up beforehand haha
The name is too ugly for me to rep it on a glove. That’s what I notice a lot about the newer glove companies. They aren’t really taking their brand names into consideration. I’ll never wear a glove with a huge “buckler” on it. Or “Rico” or any of the other really bad named companies. It’s almost like they don’t even take any time considering if others will want to wear a glove with a stupid logo/name. More thought needs to go into these companies names and logos. They are all doing piss poor jobs in that department imo. 44 even is a terrible name. I’ve had 4 of them and the worst part of them is the 44 on it. Names are important. All of the newer glove companies are really missing the mark with their logos/names in my humble opinion. And I’d be way more into the 44s but they just remind me of the Mexican made gloves you could go right into TJ and buy in the 2000s called “Domin”. They were the same quality and you could get a full custom under $80 US dollars back then. Me and my Dad would go over and get customs made for 4-5 guys on our team and bring them back. 44s are worth about 1/6th of what they charge is why when people say, “it’s the best deal you can get” it’s true. But it’s not a quality product. It’s incredibly cheap material crafted with cheap labor. Mostly illegals. Check their website and socials. The only American working for them are the athletes who play, Benny and the owner. That’s why your gloves are so cheap. Cheap materials and cheap labor. Go pick up a high quality mizuno, Pro Preferred, A2000 or A2k. The new glove brands don’t compare. Even as much as my wallet wants them to. I’d rather spend $100 extra bucks and get something that’s well made. Whenever 44 do the sales it’s hard to avoid caving and trying another one out so I totally understand why people try them. I still probably will too. But I can’t help but feel that lackluster feeling every time I put my hand in one compared to the super comfortable feeling I get putting on an A2000 or even my TPX pro flare feels better. 🤣
So what are some examples of good company names?
are they made in the States?
