Description

For the better part of the past decade, the Mizuno Classic series has been a favorite of ball players everywhere. The Classic Fastpitch series was specifically designed for the female athlete. These gloves feature classic designs with the new and innovative web styles that Mizuno has become known for. The Classic Fastpitch series is made from Mizuno's Throwback Leather that is a rugged, rich and naturally pre-oiled. This leather is soft, yet durable enough that it maintains it's shape over time. Players will be able to make catches without the fear of sting as these gloves feature an UltraSoft Pro palm liner for added protection, excellent feel and a soft finish. Every Classic Pro Soft Fastpitch glove has a new Roll Welting to increase structure and support throughout the fingers. With a lightweight feel and extra structural support, these gloves are quick to the ball and will retain their shape for years to come. Each Mizuno glove is handcrafted to the highest quality control standards. All of Mizuno's glove craftsmen have been through a rigorous certification process overseen by Master Craftsmen Kosaku Kishumoto (fielder's gloves) and Kuni Nakamura (mitts) who together have over 65 years of experience making ball gloves.

Pros: My daughter plays advanced 12U fastpitch and she has really skinny hands. Some of the other top gloves are just too big on her hand. The glove has a great feel and a really deep pocket. Didn't take much break in time which is really nice. But the best part of the glove is the look and great design of the pocket. The new design of the wrist strap is great.

Cons: None, Mizuno has it figured out.

Pros: Great glove ..broke in quickly for a higher end glove..my dd plays p , SS and cf glove works great for all...order both 1203 and 1253 I thought the 12" was a bit small for 12" ball ....after 100 games glove is perfectly broke in no flop still firm..would highly recommend

Cons: None

Pros: My daughter is 10 and is moving up to 12u, we needed a new glove. This glove came almost broken in and fit her very well. My daughter has a bigger hand for 10, so this glove might be a little big for a little girl. The comfort strap is functional and easy for her to adjust on the fly. Very nice glove overall.

Cons:

How does the GCF1253 and GCF1201 compare? What is the difference? I need a glove for an 11 and a 13 year old. Both playing competitive fastpitch. Kelly
The Mizuno Classic Fastpitch Series: GCF1253 and the Mizuno Classic Fastpitch Series: GCF1201 use the same high quality leather. The only difference is the size. For exact sizing for their age and position check out our glove coach: http://www.justballgloves.com/glove-coach/.

On the Mizuno website it says that this is an infield/pitcher glove, but it says on JustBallGloves.com it is for the outfield position? John
The Mizuno Classic Fastpitch Series: GCF1253 can be used in infield and outfield. Since it is a 12.50" glove it is on the bigger side for infield though.
Noah
What is the best size glove for a 5' 10" 130# pitcher Mtplayer
For the Mizuno Classic Fastpitch line we would recommend a 12"-12.5". It is based on personal preference but the Mizuno Classic (GCF1253) would work great as well as the Mizuno Classic (GCF1203) which is the 12" pattern.
John
Daughter plays short stop for school and center field for competitive fastpitch travel team. I would prefer to only have one glove. Will this glove work for both? Softball Dad
The 12.50" Mizuno Classic Fastpitch Series (GCF1253) is designed for an outfield player. We recommend the 12.00" Mizuno Classic Fastpitch Series (GCF1203) for a utility player.
Kara
My daughter is a pitcher in HS. She is in need of a new glove. Is this a good glove for a pitcher? KRoss24
The Mizuno Classic Fastpitch Series (GCF1253) would be an ideal model for a pitcher with a closed web, 12.50 inch pattern, and pre-oiled Throwback leather that allows for a quick break in period.
