Mizuno Pro Limited GMP70 Baseball Fielder's Mitt (12.75-Inch)

 (3 customer reviews)

This glove took a bit longer to arrive than expected, but it is pretty hard to get a hold of. It is the best glove I have had so far and I am very satisfied with it!! It was very easy to break in. I will get many many years of enjoyment from it!!

The Mizuno pro Limited gloves currently made are very different than what I used several years ago. These are made of something called Daguchi leather. They used to be made of typical high-grade steerhide plain and simple. They used to be stiff out of the package and now are much softer. I have seen this also with Rawlings heart of the Hide. The overall design is superb. The roominess inside the glove is unmatched. That is a good and bad thing. The tighter the glove is when new the better it will fit once completely broken in. But, for a high end glove that is pretty easy to break in this glove was awesome. I give it a 4.5 out of 5. If it had stiffer, higher grade leather like Rawlings pro Preferred or Wilson A2000 gloves it would have been 5 stars all the way. Is it worth $100 more than an A2000? Not in my opinion. But, I can see why some would say it is.

Firm, yet supple glove which required virtually no time to break in. Great feel for balls in the air and on the ground, pocket developed very quickly. I lost my long-time mitt at the end of a regular season and only 6 days before a week-long tournament. I bought this threw and caught with it twice before the tourney started and it delivered flawless performance throughout the tournament.

Word of advice: if the glove is too stiff initially, try moving all finger holes over 1 and putting your pinky and ring fingers both in the pinky finger hole for greater closing power. In other words, thumb in thumb hole, no finger in index finger hole, index finger in middle finger hole, middle finger in ring finger hole, ring and pinky fingers in pinky finger hole.
