TruFit™: The Most Personalized Glove Fit in Baseball

When players talk about glove performance, most of the conversation centers around leather, web styles, pocket shape, and break-in. But one of the most overlooked parts of a glove is the part you actually feel every inning: the handstall.

That’s exactly why Emery developed the TruFit™ System.

Invented by Emery head craftsman Marcus Gurule, TruFit™ is a custom-fitted handstall system that replaces traditional finger loop ties with a Cabretta-lined finger sleeve, creating a more secure, responsive, and personalized connection between player and glove.

What Is TruFit™?

TruFit™ is Emery’s proprietary hand-fit system that locks the player’s hand into the glove through a custom-built internal finger sleeve rather than relying on traditional finger loop ties.

Instead of adjusting loose laces or fighting excess movement inside the glove, TruFit creates a secure connection between your hand and the glove’s structure. The result is a fit that feels more natural, more controlled, and more responsive during play.

Key Features

  • Cabretta-lined finger sleeve
  • Eliminates traditional finger loop ties
  • Increased hand-to-glove connection
  • Improved glove control and responsiveness

Why We Invented It

The problem? There is no such thing as an average player.

Players with wider palms, longer fingers, smaller hands, thicker fingers, or unique preferences often find themselves making compromises when buying a glove.

TruFit™ was designed to eliminate those compromises.

By tailoring a better internal fit of the glove to the player, we can create a glove that feels like an extension of the hand rather than something worn on it.

The Difference You’ll Feel

More Secure Closure

One of the first things players notice is how connected the glove feels during closure.

With less movement inside the handstall, energy transfers more efficiently from your hand to the glove, helping create a more consistent and reliable close.

Cleaner Transfers

A secure fit means less shifting inside the glove when receiving the ball.

For infielders especially, that translates to smoother transfers and more confidence on quick-turn plays.

Greater Comfort

The Cabretta-lined finger sleeve creates a premium feel while eliminating the bulky sensation often associated with traditional finger loop systems.

Available on Custom Gloves

The TruFit™ system can be added to any custom Emery glove during the design process.

Within the Emery Custom Glove Configurator, players can simply select the TruFit option before checkout and we’ll handle the rest during production.
