Eagle X89

[chrisk 1]

I have been sort of on the fence about buying a pair of PPF's. Then the X89 came out and really got my interest, basically because I have been on the hunt for a new pair of all black cp94's. How come the X89 is cheaper? Is it a quality issue? I did a quick search and did not find anything. Thanks.

As far as I can tell:

X89 = top of the line, traditional 4 roll glove

X95 = basically the same glove as the X89, but with a more jointed/flexible index finger

PPF = basically the same glove as the X89, but with a slightly different fit (a bit longer overall, with the angled/diagonal back rolls giving it a slightly more fitted feel)

I don't think there's any difference in materials/quality, basically just slight differences in fit.

For what it's worth, I have a pair of X89s and they're definitely top-of-the-line. My understanding is that they're the same glove as the X95, just half an inch shorter (14" instead of 14.5") and with a traditional index finger. The length feels similar to my Bauer 4-Rolls, but with a more streamlined fit.
