Pros: this glove is beautiful! just got mine in and after a day of breaking it in it has definitely impressed me. the craftsmanship is perfect..not a stitch out of place. the fingers have solid finger reinforcements so they aren't flimsy and the best part is the laces are just as good as a heart of the hide if not better. those of you wondering if mizuno has good lace well they do. very soft leather to the touch but the stiffness is perfect. you will enjoy wearing this glove as well as breaking it in.

Cons: i will write another review once i've fully broken in.

Pros: hey im back to finish up my review. this glove is amazing! leather is similar to that of an a2000 but keeps its stiffness like a heart of the hide. the laces are just as good as the day i got the glove. the thing to note is the pocket for this 11 3/4 glove is definitely for third base. the glove has a very deep pocket with the eye web so i wouldnt play second with this. the plam lining is ridiculously comfortable with the help of the welting that runs down all the way from top to bottom on the thumb. it forms to your hand well and since the glove is so light you dont even notice its on. the fur is way better than a heart of the hide and after a couple games in the rain i know that it will hold up. no water marks or stains anywhere on the glove.

Cons: the dark brown on the web keeps this glove from being perfect. if it was the same tan as the rest of the glove this glove would be a dream come true.

How stiff is this glove? The stiffer the better. cole
The Mizuno Global Elite Series (GGE51AX) is a high quality glove from Mizuno. It is a fairly stiff glove that will require a proper break in before it will be game ready.

Can I use this glove for third base? Aniki
Yes. The Mizuno Global Elite Series (GGE51AX) would work well for play at third base.

Could this glove be used as a softball infield glove? If so, what would the approximate life of this glove be for a competitive player? Linds
The Mizuno Global Elite Series (GGE51AX) would be somewhat small but could probably be used for that style of play. The lifespan of the glove would depend on how it is taken care of but it is a high quality glove and should last for quite a while.

My son plays on a 13U baseball team and has been using the same Mizuno 11.5 youth glove for going on 5 years. My problem is convincing him to 'retire' this trusty old mitt. The glove"s center crease folds flat like a book and the glove has no shape at all. Plus, it"s a youth size. My assessment is it hampers his play at SS on hard hit ground balls since the glove has so much 'bend' and 'stretch' to it. Does this sound like a glove needing retirement and do you think this model would be a good successor? Thank you! BBDad
Whether a glove needs to be retired or not ultimately comes down to the player's personal preference and what he is looking for in a glove. The Mizuno Global Elite Series: GGE51AX would be an excellent successor to his current glove as it features an 11.75 inch pattern with an adult fit and is geared towards infielders.

Is there a very big difference in quality in between the Mizuno Global Elite and the Mizuno Classic Pro Soft? And how are both of these gloves if you compare them with a Rawlings Heart of Hide or a Wilson A2000? Louis Brown
The Global Elite Series will feature leather quality that is above what will come on the Classic Pro Soft gloves. You will be able to tell the difference in quality between the Global Elite and the Classic Pro Soft Series (Global Elites will be stiffer and hold shape better). Depending upon the exact line of Global Elites you are viewing, the quality can be parallel with the Heart of the Hides and A2000s -or- even slightly above those lines of gloves.

Is this glove good for second base? hahahahao
The Mizuno Global Elite Series: GGE51AX features an 11.75" size and would work for well for third, second, and shortstop.
