How to Pick the Right WebGem For You - Coach Riley's Guide

I get this question all the time: “Coach, which WebGem should my kid be using?” Fair enough — with names like The Roll, The Flare, The Twist, and The Square, it can feel more like you’re ordering off an energy drink menu than picking a glove form. But here’s the thing: choosing the right WebGem can make all the difference in keeping your glove sharp, your pocket perfect, and your defense game-ready.

Every WebGem kit comes with the same essentials: a rugged neoprene case that keeps sweat and stink out, our top-rated Glove Glaze conditioner, a microfiber towel for quick cleanups, and of course the patented WebGem form that gives your glove its position-specific shape. Protect your glove. Perfect your pocket. Perform better.

So whether you’re in Travel Baseball, Youth Baseball, Travel Softball, Youth Softball, or you’re a Lefty, I’ve broken it down for you. Scroll to the graphic that matches your game, find your position, and check the description below to make sure the form matches your glove size.

At the end of the day, WebGems don’t take the place of reps — but they make sure the time you put in actually sticks. A glove with the right form gives you cleaner picks, faster transfers, and fewer errors. Defense isn’t just a detail, it’s the difference.
