AllStar Vela 3 Finger FGSBV-12.5 Fastpitch Softball Glove 12.5 Inch (Right Handed Throw) : In both baseball and softball, it's common for players to put two fingers inside their glove's pinky stall. This is done for numerous reasons, including making a larger, deeper pocket, and to make the glove feel longer by avoiding impact on the index finger. This grip style traditionally leaves the index finger slot open, which doesn't really leave you with a practical design. That's why All Star has introduced the Vela THREE FING3R Series of fastpitch softball gloves. They've designed this series around the popular three finger grip, and in the process have created one of the most unique designs to ever hit the softball diamond.
