If you are looking to buy a new softball glove for a beginner<\/a> or a moderately new softball player, one glove you may find yourself debating on buying is the Worth Women\u2019s Storm Fastpitch Softball Glove<\/a>. This glove is called a \u201cWomen\u2019s\u201d glove, but is actually made for younger players. This glove is priced in the thirty-five to fifty dollar range. The Storm comes in sizes varying from 11 inches up to 12.5 inches. \u00a0Because of this, try to choose a size that accommodates your position in the field best<\/a>. This glove comes in a black\/orange colorway, as well as a black\/pink colorway. This glove isn\u2019t meant for parents or adults, it\u2019s primarily for younger softball players. The Storm is definitely more of a budget-glove because it is less than $50.00. Since it is on the cheaper side, don\u2019t expect this glove to be super high quality. Though it\u2019s not the nicest glove on the market, it will be ready to go for game time relatively quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>\n

The Worth Women\u2019s Storm Fastpitch Softball glove comes equipped with a basket-web to make fly balls and throws easier to catch. The basket-web is supportive, and the ball won\u2019t be popping out all the time. The finger-holes are narrow, which makes it easier to fit and control. This is one of the main reasons that this is a glove designed for younger players. The holes are made too narrow for older users or for players with bigger hands. This is definitely something you will want to look into before making a purchase, and you may even want to try the glove on to see how it feels against your fingers. The \u2018Silencer Palm-Pad\u2019 is made to soften the impact of incoming softballs, as less-sting is always better. The leather is not the highest quality leather you\u2019re going to find, as it comes pretty soft when you first put it on. The velcro-strap above the wrist is adjustable to fit different size hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Advantages<\/h2>\n

This glove will not break the bank. The Worth Women\u2019s Storm Fastpitch Softball Glove is at such a low price point, yet\u00a0serves the purpose it is supposed to serve. The basket-web is supportive, and the leather is surprisingly good for the price<\/a>. This glove will last for a fairly decent amount of time if it is taken care of, (see the glove-care articles<\/a>\u00a0on Softball Ace). The Storm is ready to go immediately as soon as you buy it. The narrow finger-holes help players that have smaller hands with controlling the glove efficiently. The \u2018Silencer Palm-Pad\u2019 is firm and will reduce shock from balls that aren\u2019t played perfectly. All in all, this glove gets the job done. <\/span><\/p>\n

Disadvantages<\/h2>\n

There have been instances that people have not been all that satisfied with the Worth Storm. The fastpitch glove\u2019s velcro strap came apart in just three months for one specific Amazon reviewer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another disadvantage is that there is some confusion on this glove\u2019s Amazon page<\/a>. The sizes are limited, and the handedness of the glove is not totally clear. One option is \u201cRight Hand\u201d while the other is titles \u201cright-handed_throw,\u201d. I would assume that \u201cRight Hand\u201d means the glove goes on the right hand, and you throw with your left hand<\/a>. If you really are not sure, send a message over to the seller to clarify. The Worth Women\u2019s Storm is not a women\u2019s glove, it is a youth\/teen glove. Make sure you take this into account before making the purchase. This is not a high-quality or elite glove<\/a> by any means, but take it for what it is. <\/span><\/p>\n

Verdict<\/h2>\n

For less than $50, the Worth Women\u2019s Storm Fastpitch Softball glove will do the job it is designed to do. This glove fits the hands of younger players with smaller hands well. A glove that is comparable to this one is the <\/span>Franklin Sports Fastpitch Series Lightweight Softball Glove<\/a>. The Franklin Fastpitch<\/a> is a lightweight model that is designed for younger players and typically costs even less than the Storm. It comes in a lime\/gray colorway as well as a pink\/gray one. This glove is soft and ready to go immediately, but will break down quicker than a high-quality glove, (just like the Worth Storm). One reviewer said that the glove was expected to only last them \u201cone year,\u201d. If you are in the market for a cheap glove designed for younger fastpitch players, this is definitely also a viable option.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
