Franklin Sports RTP Teeball Performance Gloves

Here we have the Franklin Sports’ version of a tee-ball glove. Very nice design and affordable, this glove can make any tee-ball player have some fun on the field.

Franklin has been one of the heaviest influences in the tee-ball and younger leagues.  A lot of their gear is made for these younger leagues so they have a lot of experience in making safe and durable products.

One time for my nephew’s birthday, I decided to get him something for tee-ball, because I knew he wanted to play. I bought him the Franklin Sports RTP Tee-ball performance glove (or something similar).  He loved it since it had some cool colors on it. I was playing ready and comes with a ball so we went outside immediately and practiced.  It didn’t last long because it started to rain but I saw that he loved it and knew he would enjoy playing with it.

Design

One of the most important part of the design is that it is made so that the Franklin Sports RTP Tee-ball performance glove is lightweight.  This is important because you don’t want your little player to be weighed down with a baseball glove.  This makes the game less fun and can be frustrating for players.

You also want it lightweight so that they can catch balls easier.  I know tee-ball players don’t make diving catches but I have seen a pop-fly that was caught.  It is important that they have a lightweight glove because there is a lot of force they have to counteract when the ball comes down on them.  The last thing you want is them to get hit in the face.

The wrist closure is made smaller so the glove does not fall off the tee-ball players hand. The only thing I wish I could change about this glove is the wrist closure.  If it could be velcro it would be a lot better.  But really, it is not that big of a deal.  Most tee-ball player’s wrists are very small so Franklin just took that into consideration and made a hole for small wrists.

Since the Franklin Sports RTP Tee-ball performance glove has a ready to play construction, like I said before with my nephew, as soon as you get it you can start playing ball.  This is a really nice feature and I appreciate Franklin doing this since no tee-ball player needs to break in their glove since it isn’t going to be used like a high school mitt.

Performance

Obviously, the performance of the Franklin Sports RTP Tee-ball performance glove is great.  I do not think you will see tee-ball players making star plays a lot so you don’t have to own the most premium glove.  But overall I do see my nephew do well with this glove.  I have not seen any problems with it.

One nice feature that I like about this glove is that it comes with a small ball so that you can get to playing even faster.  Also, if tee-ball is your first sport, then you probably do not own a lot of baseballs.  And since this ball is made to fit with this glove, it is even better.

Overall this is a really nice glove for any tee-ball player whose desire is to go and play.  I highly recommend if you are in the market for a tee-ball glove to take a look at this one.  Franklin has a lot of experience in tee-ball products so I think that you and your tee-ball player can really enjoy this glove.
