Summary: Solid choice. 2008-04-29
Comment: I was looking for a glove primarily to play catch with my 8 year old son. I also wanted one that would hold up if I get the bug for league play again.
The World Win series is a level down from the Mizuno MVP series. It is still a premium grade consumer level product. I won't compare it to professional products as I have no experience with them.
Build quality is excellent The glove is a bit stiffer (requiring more break in) than some of the less expensive gloves I looked at, but I attribute that to the high quality of the leather. A couple weeks of playing catch and that won't be an issue; and if I had to use it for a game right away it would be acceptable.
The glove is a good size. My hands are average size and fit the glove pretty well. There is room in the glove to accomodate someone with larger hands.
Overall size is good. Pocket is softball size, but a baseball is easily secured. If you like a large deep pocket for softball, this is probably not the glove for you.
The thing that really cost the glove a star is the "PowerLock" closure. Instead of a traditional split wrist-back that is closed with some type of strap, the PowerLock strap is under the wrist-back of the glove. I find that it presses more on the sides of the wrist instead of the back. It is secure and not uncomfortable, but it feels odd. Perhaps with time I will get used to it.
Overall I am happy with the glove and would recommend it.
