Franklin gloves 8505-9505

[skullplant 0]

Are either model of Franklin gloves any good, 8505 or 9505? Thanks.

Not the most comfortable glove that I've ever tried, but not the worst. Saw them for $50 somewhere on the internet, can't remember where. That's not a bad deal for $50, the 9505 are pro level gloves. The Peranis in Texas has a bunch of pro return 9505. One thing that I liked about the Franklin was that you can get half sizes.

I have a pair of the 9505's and I like them a lot. They are a little heavier than the top ends that are out there now but they fit well and are protective.

mine last me a good season and a half before the palms completely went out.

I like half sizes too (because I have small hands). 13.5" was perfect for me, and I remember when Easton used to offer half sizes...same with Nike.

EDIT: I think the only company offering half sizes now is Sher-Wood...might have to pick up a pair of the 5030 gloves...

I've had a few pairs of both the 8505 & 9505's. I think they're a great glove, very comfortable...

Easton's half sizes were just renamed.
