How do you know what size softball mitt to use?

Question

the one i have right now, my palm comes out of the bottom, and i want a new one for next season, how do i know what size to get ?

Answer 1

i play with a 12.5 also.  It works best for infield and outfield

Answer 2

I play softball and I use a 12.5 in. glove, it works well and is what most of the girls on team USA use.  

Answer 3

not only do you have to figure out whats the correct size according to your hand, but you also have to consider what position you play. It is recomended but not mandatory...that most Infielders use a smaller glove from 11 inches-12 inches max. this is to be able to get the ball out faster, turn double plays, etc. If you play outfield, then its recomended to get a bigger glove that way you have more leather to catch the ball with...from 12 inches -13.5 inches. I currently use an 11.5 inch glove to play Shortstop and i play slow pitch softball. It really doesnt matter where your palm ends up at, as long as its not too tight and it doesnt come off everytime u catch the ball. you have to try some on, and see which one is comfortable.  

Answer 4

Depends on your hand size. If you have a bigger hand, I would recommend a 12.5 or even 13. If you have a smaller hand, I would recommend a 11.5 or 12 size glove.
