Product overview

Product name: CUSTOM Youth Ice Cream Series Baby Blue Black 11.5” I-Web Baseball Glove

Price: $229.95

Material: Cowhide leather

Designed for: Youth infielders (shortstop, second base, third base)

Key features and benefits

• 11.5” youth sizing — A balanced size for infield play. Not too big for smaller hands, yet large enough to secure line drives and ground balls.
• Cowhide leather construction — Durable and lightweight cowhide offers long-term wear, better shape retention, and a more predictable break-in than synthetic options.
• I-Web design — Ideal for infielders who need fast visibility and quick transfers. The I-Web helps create a shallow, stable pocket for quicker throws to first base.
• Youth-specific fit — Wrist sizing and overall glove proportions are tuned for younger players, improving comfort, control, and confidence during play.
• Ice Cream Series styling — The Baby Blue and Black colorway provides a fresh, attractive look without sacrificing the glove’s professional feel.

Why the I-Web helps infield play

The I-Web provides a partially open web that gives infielders visual access to the ball as it settles into the pocket. That visibility, combined with a shallow pocket, enables quicker transfers when turning double plays or making rush throws. For youth players building fundamentals, this web type accelerates reaction time and improves clean transfers.

Cowhide leather — real-world advantages

Cowhide strikes a strong balance between durability and flexibility. Compared to steerhide or premium kip, cowhide is easier to break in while still maintaining good shape and structure. For parents and coaches, that means less time pounding and oiling a new glove and more consistent performance over a full season.

Fit, break-in, and care

Out of the box the Ice Cream Series glove is game-ready but will benefit from a short, player-specific break-in. Recommended steps:

• Softening with a small amount of glove conditioner on the laces and wrist area.
• Closing the glove repeatedly with a ball in the pocket and storing it overnight to form a consistent pocket.
• Playing catch regularly — the most effective break-in method for youth gloves.

Care tips: keep the glove dry, apply conditioner sparingly, and loosen tension on the laces only if you’re comfortable relacing or have it serviced. Proper care extends the cowhide’s lifespan and preserves fit.

Performance on the field

During routine use, the 11.5” Ice Cream Series delivers predictable catching and fast transfers. The glove’s lightweight cowhide reduces hand fatigue during long practices, while the I-Web helps stabilize throws from the infield.

Real-world benefits:

• Cleaner double-play feeds thanks to a shallow pocket and open web.
• Better ball control on hard-hit grounders because of leather responsiveness.
• Improved confidence for young players who prefer a glove that feels like an “extension” of the hand.

Who should buy this glove (and who shouldn’t)

Recommended for:

• Youth shortstops, second basemen, and third basemen looking for an 11.5-inch infield glove.
• Parents who want premium cowhide without paying pro-level prices.
• Players who value a fast transfer and an eye-catching design.

Not ideal for:

• Catchers or pitchers — this is an infield glove with an I-Web and shallow pocket, not designed for catching or pitching needs.
• Players who want a completely stiff, factory-molded glove; cowhide breaks in fairly quickly and becomes more flexible with use.
• Those on a strict budget — at $229.95 this is a mid-to-upper price point for youth gloves.

Final verdict

The CUSTOM Youth Ice Cream Series 11.5” I-Web glove is a strong choice for youth infielders who want a durable, responsive glove with a distinctive style. Its cowhide construction and I-Web design offer real, measurable benefits for quick transfers and consistent fielding. At $229.95 it sits above basic youth options, but the materials and fit justify the investment for players serious about development.

If your child plays shortstop, second base, or third base and you want a glove that performs on the field and looks great in the dugout, this glove should be on your shortlist. If you need a position-specific glove for catching or pitching, or you’re on a tight budget, consider alternative models tailored to those needs.

Bottom line: A stylish, well-built 11.5-inch youth infield glove that delivers pro-style performance and a fast break-in—ideal for young players committed to improving their infield game.
