I think that the "floppy lacing" you are seeing are the lines on the jersey to her uniform. I don't see any "floppy lacing."

Believe what you will about the "danglie," but there is no way I would ever go without one. Been hit there before I started using it (one time was all it took), and about three times since. Trust me, it is worth every penny for the protection it provides.

And if you believe it is a "tracking" the ball issue, it isn't. If you are using a proper stance behind the plate, you are leaving yourself vunerable, albeit a small window of vunerability, if you don't use the throat protector ("danglie," in your vernacular.)

In reference to the OP, I see nothing wrong with the glove in the picture in either ASA or NFHS.
