Cons: No cons

Pros: This is a high end glove! The leather is very high quality! This glove is the same quality as the $300 rawlings gloves on the market. It is not one of those cheap pre broken in gloves. The day I received this glove in the mail, I brought it to Johnny Macs and had them break it in with the Mizuno Glove Steamer. It worked OK. It is a good way to start to break in a high end glove. It wont fully break it in! That takes physical work and time!!! I oiled it and caught about a thousand balls with it before it was 100% broke in. NOW IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!! This gloves craftmanship is absolutly professional. It takes alot of time and work to break in (just like any high end glove!), but when it is broke in, it feels and plays AWESOME!!! The feel of a broken in high end glove is great! Dont waste your money on a cheap glove. Spend the extra cash and get this glove!
Cons: ZERO complaints! Just be patient and break it in properly! The out come is worth it!!!!!!!

Pros: Amazing glove! It is a high end ball glove, and takes a bit to break in, but it's not bad at all. Just throw a ball in it every day, and work it everyday and in a week or so this glove will be perfect for your hand. I love the throwback pre-oiled leather, and the contrasting leathers make this glove look top notch. I use this in Denver NABA 18+ AAA league, and all my teammates want this glove now. I always find myself going back to Mizuno gloves after trying out other brands (i.e. Nokona, Wilson, Zett, Nike, Rawlings, etc). Mizuno hands down makes the best, most durable, and best feeling gloves on the market. Just get some Nokona NLTP glove oil for this to protect it from sun exposure, mildew from moisture and sweat, and for just general cleaning of the glove. You will NOT be disappointed if you buy this Mizuno glove.
Cons: None and I don't expect to ever find a con. I love it and it's just the perfect size for playing outfield.
Ed
Pros: Made with thick, high quality, durable leather. Top-notch workmanship which typifies Mizuno. Formed a very nice pocket after it was broken in. Feels like it will last forever.
Cons: A bit heavy and took awhile to break-in.
Dave
Pros: Comfortable, fits well. 13 yr old loves the fit and comfort of this glove. Tried 5 others, but he felt this was the best of the group. Works in quickly.
Cons:
Jason B
Pros: Great for slowpitch 2B/SS/3B. It has a deep enough pocket for a softball yet shallow enough that you can easily flip it out on a toss. It's not going to gobble the ball up or anything, so if you're looking for a deeper pocket get the GCP80S - it has a slightly deeper pocket than the 79S. I had a really difficult time choosing between the two (which were finalists after looking at about 10 gloves from JustBallGloves), and I almost kept the 80S along with the 79S. You can't go wrong with this glove and yes, it's already broken in for you.
Cons: It's a little on the heavier side since it's been oiled at the factory. It doesn't bother me a bit because I like a more traditional feel, but if weight is a concern at all, I highly recommend the GGE71. I almost decided on that one (it has gorgeous kip leather, which is a little lighter), but I wasn't a huge fan of the Ichiro/trap.

Pros: Looks really nice, breaks in easily,nice leather, good to play with
Cons: No
Daveski
Pros: Feels great, only used a few times so far. I'm 6'2" 204 - perfect hand size for me - an outfield baseball or tweener for softball. Seems like it will be relatively easy to break-in. No regrets. Staff at BGW kept picking this glove over several others I was considering in online chats. No regrets!
Cons: None.
Jim

808Player
Pros: Deep pocket, well insulated, and can comfortably put pinky and ring finger in the pinky slot.
Cons: None
C rex
Pros: Great feel Good leather Easy Break in I would recommend getting the glove kit, it really helps. This was game ready 1-2 weeks after I got it because of the kit. Use glove oil liberally.
Cons: It runs a little shorter than 12.75, it feels more like a 12.25 but that hasn't stopped me Also fits for kind of a smaller hand (I have huge hands).

I saw a GCP79SRG and it's label said 12.75 but seem very small. I compared to an old mizuno 13" and it was easily 3" smaller. What is the difference between S and SRG? Is mizuno making the gloves smaller now? James

Is the pro soft leather a lot higher quality leather than the MVP SE Prime Series? Trying to decide between 12.75 MVP Prime SE or 12.75 Pro Soft Series. ryan
Our son is paying 12u travel, mostly as a pitcher & outfielder. He is big or his age, 5'5", w/ medium size hands (slightly long fingers though). Not sure if we should go w/ the youth version (GCP 70f) or this version? Mm
Beside price how would you compare the GCP79S and the new GMP700? Are they similar in feel? I have been Mizuno glove fan for a long time but don't know how to compare these two. No stores seem to carry either in my area. Rick
Will you be getting any more right handed throwers of the GCP79S in stock? Jarred
How is this glove compared to a Rawlings Heart of the Hide or Pro Preferred? Tim
Just received this glove from you. I'm concerned with the "throwback style leather". I previously purchased a Shoeless Joe model which stained significantly when I used glove oil. Will this glove stain as well because of the leather type? Noel
Is this glove higher quality than the Rawlings Gamer XLE? Is this the right size for a 5'3 13 year old? heat man 27
I'm 14 and 135 lbs. I have used a glove in the pro soft in the past in a 12". I am primarily a catcher but I occasionally play outfield. Would a 12.75" be sufficient moving forward or should I stay with the 12", what I am accustomed to? TCABaller14
My Son is 14 years old and approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall. He plays primarily outfield and pitcher. We are looking to upgrade his mitt and we are not sure if we should go with the Mizuno Classic Pro Soft Series: GCP79S, or the Youth version (Mizuno Classic Pro Soft Future Series: GCP70F Youth). Any suggestions? Rich
Why has this glove been discontinued? Tribemom37
