Pros: Awesome glove. Used it right out of the box with some adjustments. I still cant believe a glove that feels and looks this good at such a low price. Highly recommend glove and Justballgloves.com.

Cons: I had to adjust a guide inside the glove at the pinky finger. Easy to do with the leather ties on the outside

Pros: For the money you can't beat it. I play in 2 competitive leagues and just used it for the first time last night. Applied some Nokuna glove oil and wrapped it up for 2 days and its pretty much ready to go. Fits great. I play 3B most of the time and this glove feels great.

Cons: none yet

SLR

Pros: I am a lefty that plays first base and the outfield this glove was the perfect compromise glove for both positions being 13 inches. Break in time was short but the leather quality seems great for the price. I am sure this glove will last a long long time. I really like the darker color as we'll not that that matters to much.

Cons: None at this time.

Have a question about the Mizuno Franchise Softball Series: GFN1303? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

I have a GFN 1306 13" glove (throw right wear glove on left hand) and I love it. Is this Model still available? If so, is there any special pricing? Jon
Unfortunately, the GFN1306 was discontinued quite some time ago. The GFN1303 will probably be the closest comparison.
Mark
Where is this glove made? Alypow
The Mizuno Franchise Softball Series is made in the Philippines.
Kara
do you have this glove in a right hand throw? matt
We will only show what we have in stock.
John
Is the glove opening and finger channels sufficiently large for a man's hand? I have an extra large glove size and want to make sure that I don't have to open the velcro closure too much. Thanks Mike
The GFN1303 will fit like a baseball glove. You should not have an issue with the fit of this glove, even if you do have above average size man hands.
Tyler
My 12 year old plays baseball, but really liked the way this glove fit when he tried it on in the store. Can this softball glove be used for baseball or is the pocket too big? He plays outfield positions. sandy
The Mizuno Franchise Softball Series: GFN1303 can be used for baseball as well. The pocket will be bigger, but playing in outfield it is always good to have a bigger pocket anyway.
Noah
Would this glove be suitable for an infield position? prissyjule
Mizuno Franchise Softball Series: GFN1303 has a 13" pattern. For slow pitch softball, the length of the glove is a personal preference for infield, but most use between a 12" and 13".
Justin R.
Did Mizuno make a replacement for this glove designed for slow pitch softball? Art
Yes! We carry the Mizuno Franchise 13" Slow Pitch Softball Glove (GFN1300S3) which should feature a similar overall design and leather quality to the Mizuno Franchise Softball Series (GFN1303).
