My son is 8yo and a decent player (best on his non-traveling, non-competitive team). I wanted something not expensive with a deep pocket that would swallow up balls. This is perfect for that. The breaking with some hot water and a mallet and wrapped overnight was 2 days max (search youtube Aso glove break-in). My son has pretty small hands and is able to squeeze this glove easily. It's a big glove for an 8yo but not too big. He's average to small for his age. This is a 1st base "mitt", not a "glove", so if you have some super strict league, they may only let you play 1B or catcher with it, but that's just ridiculous for 8-9 yo kids. This has a great very deep pocket to help him hold onto balls that hit the glove.So the Pro's are super cheap for a glove but good quality, very easy break-in, and easy to catch with. The only con is it's likely not going to hold up for more than 2 seasons. It's a little flimsy already after 1 season but still very useable. The easy break-in comes at a cost of quick wear-out. It's just how it is with these easy break-in leathers. But at this price, 2 seasons is plenty of use and he'll be moving up to the next level and where the rules will likely be more strict and not let him use a 1B all over the field anyway, and will need a new one. This glove is also a great option if your kid only plays 1B very infrequently and you don't want to spend big $ on a second glove. I wouldn't recommend this for very high level travel ball tho, go for the R9 or higher. That said, for the 7-8yo still learning to play and can handle a bit bigger glove, this is awesome.I liked this glove so much for him that I bought the 32.5 Catcher's glove for me as a very cheap glove to teach hi to pitch in the back yard. It is also great and not too small for an adult.

Surprised by the sale price and how nice the quality is. Overall I would buy this again in a heartbeat. Has a smaller hand pocket geared more towards youth even with the 12.5".

I needed a cheap mitt to occasionally catch with my son who is entering the 10u level. The Renegade mitt seemed like it fit the bill. Even as a 32.5 inch, it fit my adult hand. Glove felt pretty solid, but lighteweight. It was made mostly of pure leather, but there are some pieces of "pleather" that would likely peel in the long run. It was mostly broken in and a younger player would definitely be able to use it immediately...but the softness probably means it won't be as durable. Honestly for a 12u or 10u, this isn't a bad choice. But the Player Preferred series is the same price and is constructed much more solidly, though a tad heavier too because of that. It's also much more stiff and requires break-in. If you're an adult, I would definitely go with the Player Preferred.

Needs more break-in, but a great kids mitt for the price. Can fit the hand of an adult as well (medium to small hands).

Good first base mitt for 9u little league. Soft and already broken in. Not real leather so won’t last as long but still a good value.

Great quality glove.

I would not recommend buying this glove from Amazon! Ten days after the return window, the glove began falling apart. I contacted Amazon directly, and because the return window expired, they offered zero help. I have contacted Rawlings directly today after further deterioration of the glove. I would give zero stars, and will update this review if resolved.
