Let me start by saying these Franklin CFX Pro gloves are LEGIT. As someone who’s gone through multiple pairs over the years, I can confidently say they’re worth every penny. The premium leather feels like butter after breaking them in - no more annoying bunching or stiff fingers mid-swing!

The Quad-Flex Technology is where these gloves really shine. During my last tournament, I noticed how perfectly they molded to my palm during those intense extra-inning at-bats. No slipping, no awkward pressure points - just pure grip confidence whether using aluminum or wood bats.

Now about sizing - pay attention here! My first pair (navy blue) fit like a dream in Youth XL, but when I ordered the same size in orange? Total clown hands situation. Definitely try different colors if one doesn’t fit right - seems the dye process affects sizing slightly.

Durability gets an A-. After 2 seasons of weekend leagues (about 150 games), the palms finally started wearing thin near the pinky area. Pro tip: Rotate two pairs to extend lifespan. That said, my teammate’s velcro failed after 3 months - seems quality control isn’t perfect.

For $30? Absolute steal compared to $50+ pro brands. These perform just as well as gloves costing twice as much. Whether you’re a travel ball parent or beer league slugger, these should be in your bag.
