I am planing on ordering a pair of custom Franchise (can't seem to find any Pro Stock that work).. Since several of you have multiple pairs, I was just wondering if anyone has any pics of 13" and 14" next to each other... I have bought (and subsequently sold) a pair of retail Franchise but wasn't impressed with the product for $200+... After using the retail 14" for a few games I felt that they are just a bit too long especially in the inside wrist area (Palm side)of cuff... I am afraid that if I go with 13" they will be too short and overall too small (I am 6' 225)... I am currently using Eagle X88's and the glove just seems to fit better especially with the inside wrist cuff length... Should I go with 14" and ask Warrior to shorten the parts of the cuff that bug me (I hear "Joe" is the man to talk to)? I already bought PPF's and hated the full MSH2 palms and fit. Now I just have made the decision to try custom or Pro Stock Franchise... Anyone have comparo pics or any input? I'm new to this forum and so far everyone has been very helpful. Thanks guys.

you could look into the 14" with a shortened cuff such as the hossa/sarard type

If a 14" hossa cuff still doesn't work have you ever sonsideted a 13" with extended fingers? They can easily do that and that's give you the extra length in the fingers but shorten up everything else you want. Or even consider ordering a 13.5"?

did you get the pics that you need? I have a pair of 14 inch Strokers and plenty of 13 inch Franchise if you still need pics.
always looking for non Reebok L & XL shells......

Of my Franchises (and Luxes)- the only difference between 13" and 14" is finger length. Length and width of the backroll section is the same.
13" Franchise- Gary Roberts (twist cuff)
13" Luxe- Steve Downie
14" Franchise- Stock Thrashers (short cuff)
14" Luxe- My specs (short cuff)
13" Franchise- Gary Roberts (twist cuff)

14" Franchise- Stock Thrashers (short cuff)
14" Luxe- My specs (short cuff)

If you go with a 13" with 1/4" finger extensions they will make you a 14" glove with a shorter cuff. I'm 5'9 with XL hands and have been pretty happy with my two pairs of 14's with finger extensions- one with the blooming cuff and one with the Hossa cuff. The Hossa cuff is really short and reminds me of old Eastons, which I really like.
One pair is labeled 14, the other 15 but they are both exactly the same.
I noticed the same thing about the excess room on the palm (where the hand meets the wrist). I thought it was weird but it doesn't bother me in the least bit. I think if it was shorter it would interfere with the grip of the stick?
Good luck!
p.s- I love the classic material. Way more durable than TT

Is 13.5 an option on custom warriors?
No, but you can do:
1) 13" or 14"
2) Wide or Narrow
3) up to -.5" on the finger length

I've also had this question. Would someone be able to post the pics he sent to Diesel? I'd be most appreciative.
