I had a PROS15TCB and then I bought the PRM1150T. Although I thought the Pro Preferred was the best glove, my new Primo is at least five times beter than my Pro Preferred! It is AWESOME !!!
My new Primo PRM1125 is the best glove that I had ever purchased.
My new Primo glove is certainly the most outstanding glove i've ever owned! The way it is made makes it as if it were a designer glove. I would'nt even be surprised if Coach, or Louis Vitton come out with a glove. Primo is certainly a beauty, but what about labeling it? You just cant write ure name in pen on the glove. But what is we take the primo to a leather maker or something, and have them stich your name in, like the proffensionals.
p.s. please reply to my message usin dear Jacob or make any comments if possible

Hi Jacob,
Glad to hear you like your Primo! Currently, the ability to embroider your Primo glove is not an option. We advise against taking it anywhere else to have it embroidered as the glove would have to be taken apart which could cause damage and void any warranty. As we can understand that you wouldn't want to write on your new Primo glove, one way to identify your glove would be to write your name or number on the upc code label that's sewn in the wrist opening. Another option would be to untie the thumb loop and write your name or number on the back of it and then just tie it back. Hope that helps!
Thanks,

I believe it is too expensive, however it is a very good glove.
I was recently able to compare the Rawlings Primo to the latest Mizuno Pro, Wilson A2K, and Worth Liberty. All of these gloves are of the highest quality, but without a dout, the Primo was the best out of the bunch. So I decided to purchase it, and my $400 were very well spent! Rawling's gloves, especially the Primo, Pro Preferred, and the Heart of the Hide, have that "special feel" that makes them stnad out. Thanks for your time.

I had the opportunity to try out a primo glove for several weeks. I concluded that it is a good glove, but not any better than existing, and much more reasonably priced, models. People who have shelled out $400 of their own money would not admit to making a poor investment and will therefore be biased towards positive reviews. Keep this fact in mind. These gloves are merely designer merchandise and I believe that Rawlings is exploiting players for financial gain. My advice is to spend $120 on a solid baseball glove, save close to $300, and avoid the marketing trap that is the Rawlings Primo.
i owned a glovesmith and it recently got stolen. And i have been looking for a glove, and a primo is one of the gloves i have been looking at. From all the comments i have seen, it seems like a great glove. Even though it is expensive, but i am willing to spend the money if its worth it. I just havnt had the opputunity to try it out yet.
I had a Wilson A2K 1796 and then I decided to buy a Primo. It has been much better than any other glove I have owned and it even feels as though it will last a long time. There was only one thing that I did not like however, the price. At 400$ the price was too steep even though the glove was spectacular. I use the glove whenever I play, but in my opinion that price is too high.
Sean,
I don't know who you are, but are you crazy? Saying that the Primo is not worth its price?! Hello, its made from exotic Italian leather! What you are syaing is that, if you had the money, buying a Ferarri is not worth it. What?!

I own a PRM1150T and it has to be the best glove out their. Its such a nice glove I hate to beat it up, I love to use it for casual play with friends and such. Unless you like beating up expensive stuff I would get a Pro or somthing else for game play.
I recently bought a primo1150s and it is hands down the best glove i've ever owned. The last glove I had was a wilson a3000, which was also $400 when it first debuted, so whoever is complaining of the price, this is not rawlings robbing you by any means, the best gloves cost the most.I assure you this glove was easily worth the money.
What I like best about my new primo is the leather. The outer shell leather is very supple and it seems that is is very duarable. The inside----WOW! I love the inner calf-skin. It is the softest leather that I have ever felt. The color of the leather is also really eye-catching. It looks very exotic!
It is certainly one of the best gloves i've ever used but i think it is a little to expensive
I just recieved my Primo and the leather is awesome- actually it's flawless!
Got my PRM1275 a couple of days ago and have been playing catch a lot with it lately. I have a Wilson A2K outfielders glove to compare it against and the two have many great qualities. What I love about the Rawlings PRM1275 is how much detail went into the construction of the glove. The top quality leather, the stitching, just the total technology that went into this glove is fantastic. I can not wait until Rawlings comes out with a Primo catchers mitt to add to my collection.
Thanks Rawlings!
I just got my Rawlings primo PRM 1150 , first looks were amazing, by far the most appealing baseball mit I have ever seen, the leather is the nicest of any baseball mit out there.
Breaking it in:
The rawlings primo is comparable to a Pro preferred, but I found it a little bit stiffer at the start, after a few weeks of playing catch it starts to soften up and the pocket starts to form.
Gameplay: When Rawlings says that most gloves hinder you're hand movements they are right, the primo is by far the most easy to maneuver. At start I was kind of scared to use it, being a 400$ glove, but after a while, it starts seem like just another glove. So dont be scared to field it.
Overall: Ive tried all kinds of mits, A2K's, the whole rawlings lineup, Nokonas, glovesmith, everything, and the best glove Ive tried so far is the Rawlings Primo.
Rating:
10/10
Best mit made so far.
I have been breaking in gloves for over 40 years, and the Primo is easily the best glove I have ever owned. I bought the PRM1150T with the modified Trap-Eze web in July of '07, and had it broken in by January when I went to the Met Fantasy Camp. Pat Zachry spotted my glove in the dugout, picked it up, and said in his deep Texas drawl: "That's a Cadillac, right there..." I showed it to Doug Flynn, who said: "I would have won more Gold Glove awards with this thing." My favorite photo from camp is me sitting next to Flynn in the dugout, and Doug is wearing my glove and admiring it.
The quality of the leather is superb, and as soon as someone tries it on and feels the calfskin interior, and how well it breaks in, they all say: "Wow!"
Nice job by all the folks at Rawlings.
Why in the world don't you have a rep come down to things like Fantasy Camp and let some of the players see the line, try out some broken-in models, etc.???
I bought the primo last season and it is without a doubt, the best looking glove on the market. at first, the glove seemed a little heavy, but it is fine once you get used to it. the only problem that i am still having with it is the fact that i need to condition the leather and am scared to use anything on it and mess the leather up. any suggestions? other than that, the glove catches a lot of eyes and makes heads turn when im on the field. great glove and one of my best investments!
I've owned the top gloves from all the brands available, Yes I am an glove adict, and by far this is the bes glove out there. I will buy another one just to save it as an collector item. If you have the money just do it now.
You should add the gold labels to the primo. I can't wait for the primo catchers mitt.
Yes, I'm looking.... but I have a real problem with anyone here saying that their $ spent were a bad investment. If they are on this site, and spent $400, they aren't likely to say anything bad, since that would indicate they made an error and no one wants to admit that. Seems like a lot of too heavy comments here and elsewhere I've read.
That's a fair point. We try our best to show both sides, but honestly, we have yet to receive negative feedback! Although we hope everyone loves their Primo, by all means, if you do not, let us know!
I got the Derek Jeter Heart of the Hide model glove for Christmas and I loved it. Last week I was at a Pals and they had the Primo. I had been looking into saving up enough money for one so I was excited to see they had one. I put it on and..WOW it felt so nice. I'm deffinitly going to save up for one now. They are the greatest glove I have ever felt. The glove was so spacey but seemed to form around my hand!
I purchased my son a Primo this time last year. He really likes it. Intially, he said it felt heavy, but has since gotten use to it. It the best glove I've ever held. I played baseball since I was a kid and always took good care of my gloves. I have a pro H series glove that was given to me over 25 years ago and it is still in great shape. When you consider how much you can spend on a bat these days, I believe a great glove is a much better investment. My son had about 65-70 games this year (unfortunately, Northeast- just 3 seasons of baseball) and he used it for every one of them. He takes very good care of it and I believe when I'm gone he'll still have it and remember the times we spent together.
My new PRIMO was a very good long term investment.
I have heard comments about the glove being heavy. How much heavier is than a comparable glove? I am talking about a 11 1/4middle infielders glove. If you could give the name of the glove you are comparing too. thanks
I am currently on my high school varsity baseball team and my dad recently purchased a PRM1125. I play 2nd base and 3rd base. I have always used Rawling's gloves (heart of the hide/gold glove series 11.5" was my last glove) and I must say this is the best glove I have ever used. It took only three weeks to break the glove in completely and to begin using it in games. My dad bought the Primo Butter and that really helped with the break-in process. The color of the glove is awesome and the quality of the glove is second to none. The cost was high but the last glove costs $200.00 and I used it for two and half years. We play year round in Florida. I am a sophomore so I figure this glove will get me through high school. The inner leather of this glove is different and when I put it on my hand it gives me confidence and a special feel. The glove opens wide and sets-up perfectly for ground balls. I do wish the special bag that comes with the glove was smaller so that I could put the glove in the bag and then the bag into my small equipment bag. We don't use bat bags in Florida because they take up too much room on the team bus. I recommend this glove to ever infielder and I expect next year to see a lot of pros using this glove. I do not find that the glove feel heavy. Great job Rawlings.
ok, for all of you complaining about the price cut it out. I am an avid baseball player and love buying new gloves. Unfortuatly for me, I dished out over $300 bucks on an SSK Custom Glove. That was about two months before the Primo was out on the market. A few months ago, my dad purchased one of the PRM150T models and gave it to my little brother for his b-day. This is by far the best glove, and from what I can tell is a very durable glove. The best feel of any glove i have worn, and the deep redish brown color catches all of the eyes. I just need someone to steal my SSK so I can buy a PRIMO!
how long will the primo last. Its a good glove if it will give you fur or five years
the primo is a great glove Im just wonderin how long it will last
I had a Top of the range Wilson glove but decided to give the Primo a try. It has taken a while work it in to a point where I was happy to use in the game.
But When i did it was phenomenal BEST GLOVE EVER
I think I will get an outfield one JIC I play outfeild
I decided to buy a new glove after a few years. I was first thinking of Nokona but i settled on a primo 1150 and it was the best decision of my life so far IT'S AWESOME, GET ONE!!!!!! On my old glove I burned my initials on the side with a magnifying glass, but on my primo I wouldn't dream of it!
I couldn't afford a brand new Primo when my dads old Wilson started coming apart 2 months ago.
I hope mentioining the following isn't taboo. If so I apologize in advance.
After falling in love with a 1275 I was determined. So I was scimming Craigs list one day, and low and behold there was 2 on there in Philly 1.5hrs from me.
I made 2 calls and the first guy that called me back sold his glove to me. I gotta say its awesome. He was a former reading philly, and only had it a year. He had it perfectly broken in and it looked like it was hardly used. I got the bag and everything.
This glove will be handed down to my son when he's 16, he's already in love with it. He has 8 years to go.
Keep up the good work guys.
I've had my Primo for two years now. It has really stood the seasons. It has seen two legion seasons, a high school season, and a college season, and is still in better condition than my teammates' gloves.
My husbands glove that he has had FOREVER finally broke, I relaced it, but it was obvious it would soon be beyond repair. Being the good baseball wife I am I started trying to find a replacement for it... Rawlings didn't make it anymore, so I started trying to find the 'next generation'. I'm not a sucker for 'extravagance' I'm normally VERY frugal. It's baseball for heavens sake- he isn't going to be driving it! =O) My husband said absolutely not... spending that kind of money was crazy! That he would go and find himself another glove. I went ahead and ordered it, I was that certain after doing the research that he was going to come back and say he would be willing to use it. And I was right! He came back discouraged over the quality of gloves at a more reasonable price, concerned about the amount of padding and how long it would take to break in. Our local store had one of the infielder gloves so I sent him to 'touch' it. when he put up a bit of a fight because he told me he was too old to make such an investment... I figured it would be worth the cost if he kept it as long as the last one (18 years). Needless to say... when it came he was giddy... when he started to break it in... my heart dropped... but the entire time he kept saying how easy it was... how soft it was. It's still not nearly 'beaten' in as he would like (new glove has been blamed for a couple of errors), but he loves it. He gets very excited everytime he uses it... and I get a full report of every game... great saves and mishaps. For me... it was totally worth the money to see him like a kid at Christmas and be able to replace a glove that he loved. Not to mention the added emotional boost of having such a superior product on his arm.
