Description
This Nokona Pro Line Series is made from Premium Buckskin Leather and Sandstone Tanned Leather. Buckskin is a pre-oiled cowhide leather featuring a smooth dark brown finish. It is a staple in a long line of soft, yet durable premium top grain leathers, which provides that supple, broken-in feel that is enjoyed by today's players. The Buckskin is oil injected during the tanning process, this in turn produces a more flexible glove but a heavier weight. The Sandstone Leather is on the back of the glove. This leather is much stronger than most steer hides and therefore provides stability in the gloves. The Pro Line Series gloves offer an open back with shearling for a great look and an excellent feel. Nokona offers radius welting for unmatched durability on their Pro Line Series gloves. Nokona gives this glove a contemporary styling to give it the best look. This glove comes in a 11.50 inch model. It also has a Modified T web. Nokona has always had the reputation of producing top of the line, durable and dependable gloves and the Pro Line Series is no different. This glove was hand made in the USA in Nocona, Texas. Nokona: American Made for American Played! Free Shipping.

Pros: i wish i could get this glove
Cons: i have to wait until christmas
Pros: a great glove and a reliable infeilders glove to. if you are a pitcher it is also a good sourse. it is one of the best nokonas ever made
Cons: none
Pros: This glove is magical. I have used rawlings since I was a boy. I still remember getting my first HOH Pro 3 when back in 1980. I now have four other fairly new Rawlings HOH gloves. This Nokona compares very favorably with my HOH gloves. It is stiff, fairly light and just feels good on the hand. I really like the way Nokona gloves "hinge" completely on the pinky side fo the palm. The HOHs kind of also hinge a little on the thumb side of the palm. I like the Nokona better for that reason. It also breaks in fairly quick. Get a nokona mallet...makes break in no time. This is my third nokona..I like it the best of the three (I also have the AMG 1150 W-CW and the AMG 1200 W-CW)
Cons: None yet
Pros: One of Nokona's best, and that's saying something. Breaks in without oil by playing catch, a lot of catch. The glove forms to the player's hand, making it possible to develop a nice deep pocket. Great for all infield positions.
Cons: you may not get it back if you lend it out.
Pros: Better than the A-2000. Breaks in fast without oils. Pocket is perfect size. Feels great on my hand.
Cons: none.
Pros: I love this glove. I,ve owned my last Rawlings for 30 years and I have replaced it with this glove. It's like a baseball vacuum. Use the Nokona Classic Glove Conditioner it works great.
Cons: It felt overly stiff out of the box but is breaking in really quick.
Pros: This glove is fantastic! I only needed about 2 weeks of playing catch, putting it under my matress, and using a mallet to break it in. The leather feels so good when you are using it and the pocket forms naturally to your hand. The pocket makes catching easy and feel almost weightless. also, the fingers are far more flexible and a better size than the A2000 nd other high-end gloves! not to mention Nokona's last a long time if you take care of them corectly. I've used other gloves such as the a2000, Rawlings and a mizuno but they just don't compare. Also, the price is actually pretty good considering i've seen A2000 and some Pro rawlings around the 200 to 200 mark.
Cons: Nothing, just dont use a quick fix llike oil or heating or it will screw up an excellent glove.
Pros: fantastic glove. Great way to break in this glove is by taking the padding out at the wrist also called the "heel pad" after you do this tighten the wrsit strap. Now the glove will feel like an extension of your hand giving you much more control of the glove
Cons: nothing son.
Pros: This glove is perfect for just playing catch. Don't underestimate the challenge of finding just the right glove for that. High school and college position players will want either a big, secure outfielder's glove or a tiny, fast infielder's mitt. But this Nokona is a Swiss Army knife. It feels "just right" for catching anything--pop ups, grounders, hard throws--that my 12-year-old son rifles my way. I like this even better than Nokona's much more expensive Bloodline gloves. Thanks Nokona.
Cons: My dog would chew it if she got the chance. She's got very good taste.
Pros: this glove is the best glove ive ever owned!!!
Cons: dont lend it out!!!
Pros: An amazing glove. I got it for christmas and i haven't really used that much but it is already almost broken in. the leather is top quality people say that it seams heavy. I don't know what they are talking about. It is a great glove I use it for pitching and infield. You should definetly get the nokon glove conditioner it really helps. You don't have to worry about your glove changing colors, and it doesn't at all make it weigh more. DO NOT do those quick fixes to break your glove in. It will mess up your glove. to break it in just put a good amount of the nokona glove conditioner all over the glove including the inside were you put your hand because the oils from your hand will ruin the leather.Also play catch if you do all of that your nokona pro line series should be broken in in no time at all.
Cons: If there were any cons then I wouldn't have commented on the glove and I would of sended it back and got a different model.
Pros: Amazing glove, easy to break in (just like the buffaloe combos! Amazing glove! Best glove ever!
Cons: none
Pros: this glove is amazing. i got it a little over a month ago and i have been using it fir 2 weeks. easy break-in.
Cons: none at all
Pros: This glove is the sturdiest glove i have ever used. It doesn't take that much time to break in. Great feel
Cons: u crazy none
Pros: absolutely great glove i wanted a rawlings pro preferred and then i put this on my hand and i was impressed and decided to save myself some money. Great combo of leather stiff shell to keep the finger stiff and then keep shape of glove, and soft inside. molds to your hand. the finger pad is nice.
Cons: stuggling to find any
Pros: I got my amg1150sxmt about a week ago and it already feels broken in, which surprised me. I play 2nd base and this glove is perfect for the job. Although it does feel sort of heavy, it closes really well and is easy to transfer the ball to your hand. Plain and simple, I love this glove.
Cons: Other people always ask to use it and might try to swipe it from you.
Pros: easy to break in, long lasting, maintains shape, very soft, looks awesome
Cons: everyone wants to use t
Pros: Sick glove.. Nice feel and not to heavy. I would recomend this to anyone that plays middle in field or third..
Cons: This glove gets dirty fast!!
Pros: awesome glove had it for 2 years and I'm going to have it for another 2 and when its done I'm getting another. I'm 13 years old and play for a select baseball team play about 60 or more games a year I play mostly short and it's vacuum handles well in the out field too.
Cons: leather is tearing on the inside thumb and in between the palm and pocket.
Pros: Very nice glove. Superior craftsmanship. Everything a Nokona should be.
Cons: A little stiffer than the last Nokona I purchased. Needs a little more break-in time.
Pros: This glove is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I just switched from a Rawlings and this glove beats it by quite a lot. The leather is soft and comfortable. The glove works with your hand. It's a work of art! Balls are just vacuumed into this thing! It's a work of art.
Cons: The fact that you're reading this and not buying it.
Pros: This is the best glove I have ever had. It molds to your hand. Also it is very easy to break it in.
Cons: None
Pros: This glove is very great leather, but is not heavy like most other high end leathers. Nice deep pocket. Best nokona out there, better than the bloodline in my opinion.
Cons: Takes a while to break in. I've had it since August and play catch with it once a week but is pretty much broken in.
Pros: Quick and easy break in. I bought the amg1150 cw for my nephew; that one is really stiff. This 1150 pro series is a lot softer. It's still firm, but a lot softer than the wallnut leather. Curious to see how the buffalo combos are... Thanks Nokona!
Cons: Everybody wants to use it!
Pros: by far the best glove that i have ever had it has the best feel and comfort!!!!!
Cons: none what soo ever!!
Pros: I bought this glove thinking it would be great for pitching and playing other positions, it seemed like a great buy at first
Cons: once i got this glove right away i noticed it was very heavy. and when i played catch with it it was very hard to move around with this glove has no pop and the web will not break in DO NOT BUY THIS GLOVE, get a heart of the hide or A2000 for same price no comparison!
Pros: this is an awesome glove it broke in easy; im in high school and i play 3rd and 2nd great for scooping and line drives the web just stops the ball dead in its tracks
Cons: little heavy for 2nd
Pros: Really nice pocket, great feel, looks sweet!
Cons: None
Pros: Superior construction, buttery leather. Comfortable, quick action, intuitive feel. Fantastic glove. Has become my "go to" glove. This is the glove I always bring with me, and the first one I grab when it's time to play or even just goof off. Most of my other gloves have become displays and loaners. I'm not going to bother blathering on about why it's better than this glove or that glove, I like it, so what's the point? Nearly perfect.
Cons: Has a solid weight to it, not recommended for limp-wristed wusses ... Plays a bit stiff when it's cold out, but who doesn't?
Pros: good leather
Cons: heavy, floppy, doesn't form to hand well, lacing too soft, it ripped after one season of use
Pros: amazing glove love to use this on 3rd base its great for scoopin and fielding ground balls they just kinda stick to the glove
Cons: very little padding not to good of a feeling when catching hard hit line drives on the palm on the heavier side
Pros: nice colors and good leather
Cons: its really heavy, the lacing is tied WAY to tight making the palm stretched out and making a crease. it also didnt form wide like i wanted it to because the lacing was so tight. Theres also no padding at all. theres barly any fur on the wrist making not so comfortable. And after a while it gets floppy and did not hold its shape well.
Pros: Little break in required feels great not to heavy I've had it 2 years and have had no need to tighten the laces forms to hand easily.
Cons: Never get it back if you let someone borrow it none to much padding for shots at 3rd but great every where else (dont let this be the reason to not get it)
Pros: I received this gloved as a DEMO and it was used for quite a while and it is the best glove I have ever owned.
Cons: Smells funny but you get used to it.
Pros: Excellent Quality Beautiful leather
Cons: Taking a while for my 10 year old son to break in
Pros: Breaks in extremely well. Just play catch with it. Steer hide on outside shell does a really good job to help maintain shape. Excellent infielder's glove.
Cons: For $200, it is the best modified trap glove available. Plain and simple. The buckskin on the inside starts to get discolored, and doesn't flare very well. Those are my only nitpicks.
Pros: This glove is amazing! It comes in a little stiff but every good glove should. It seems to be breaking in pretty fast though. I have just switched to Nokona and I can proudly say I'll never use anything else ever again!!! Thanks Nokona for this great product!
Cons: Nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pros: An amazing glove, better than any I have had. I play every position but catcher...works at everyone. All my friends that have other gloves, wish they had mine. Outstanding glove...nothing even comes close. Great feeling leather, breaks in nice, looks great. Wonderful craftsmanship. Will be my last glove...Nokona is my brand.
Cons: none...can be longer to break in...but well worth it
Pros: Easy to break in, but still firm. two tone is very good looking and the leathers used have been durable. My 10 Year old loves this glove.
Cons: If any, my son said he doesn't like the curve of the thumb. But he is still breaking in.
Pros: I have had as many as 200 gloves in my life time. This one out of all of them is by a long shot my favorite glove i have ever owned.
Cons: NONE
Pros: This glove is flat out perfect. It's replacing an older Wilson A2000 from when they were made in the USA, and the Nokona tops it hands down. I've had mine six years, and it's still very much in its prime.
Cons: Not a con, exactly, but one thing to note. Nokona seems to have changed their model numbers to make the gloves run more "true to size." The model number on mine is actually an AMG 1200--a 12 incher--but it's an identical glove. While you'll read some reviews that suggest that Nokona "run small" that not the case anymore. This is an ideal glove for an adult or teen infielder or pitcher. The glove is probably a little stiff and heavy for a young player, but better in this regard than many premium gloves.
Pros: Great look and feel. Ideal for infield play and pitching. No issues period!!
Cons: None
Pros: This glove is awesome right out of the box. Broken in really quick. Love the feel and the quality also made in the US. Cant go wrong!!!
Cons: None!!
Pros: My 11-year-old son loves this Nokona glove. I specifically bought the "used" glove so that all of the "breaking of the glove in work" wold be complete. I was so surprised at the immaculate condition this "used" glove was. The previous owner took great care of it. My son cannot wait until baseball practice begins so he can get regular use of his new glove.
Cons: It's not baseball season yet, so he is not using his new glove every day yet.
Pros: Ive played Rawlings HOH, Pro Select, Wilson A2K, a2000 and decided to give Nokona a try. A teammate had been playing Nokona and said he loved everything about it and wouldnt trade it for anything. He was dead on right! I found this glove to be extremely comfortable even during the break in period. Once I broke it in, I can say without hesitation its the best feeling glove Ive ever played. There is just enough padding in the palm to feel the ball and adjust quickly for that double play. Just take a look and try one on next time your in a sporting goods store. You will feel the difference between this glove and other high end gloves. The leather is stiff but very soft and comfortable when worn. Break in took a bit but doesnt it always with a quality glove. This glove forms to your hand and will break in to whatever your style of play you prefer. I flared mine a bit at the thumb and its coming out perfect. One last thing I would like to mention Nokona is hand made in the USA!
Cons: My little brother keeps trying to take it. Hes going to have to wait until his birthday to get his.
Pros: Great Glove takes a little work to break in
Cons: None
Pros: The quality of this glove is amazing. Leather is top notch! Fit and feel is a 10.My son has been playing competitive baseball for over 6yrs and loves it--Used the Nokona conditioner and it's almost broke in within a week--
Cons:
Pros: Great
Cons: No Cons
Pros: High quality Easy break in process
Cons: None yet
Pros: I am a high school baseball player in my junior year, and this glove is easily my favorite. the leather is soft and light but extremely durable. the lining was a little tight when it was new but now it has molded exactly into the shape of my hand. mine is now about 2 years old but it's still in a good enough condition for probably another full 60 game season. Love this glove and will buy another soon!
Cons: the glove itself is on the pricier side and took me a half the season to break it in. I mean the stiffness basically reflects the quality and the durability of the leather but it takes some patience to break in :(

About the Brand
Joe Phillips writes about his visit to Nokona. It was like sitting in at the plantation party in Gone with the Wind or maybe gazing from the grandstand at the “Field of Dreams” while the Black Sox players tried to work out their idled muscle kinks. And, I was gently reminded by the lines in that movie while I dug into a delicious plate of North Texas barbecue: “threshing crews eating at outdoor tables. It continually reminds us of what once was, like an Indian-head penny in a handful of new coins. . . You talk a good dream.” And here I was. . . graciously invited into this magical and charming “Field of Glove-Making Dreams” in former Comanche Indian land at Nocona, Texas. It was a warm August evening, basked in a golden harvest moon, while friends and the Nokona family paid its kindly southern regards to two of their own and two of America’s finest but relatively obscure glove makers, Bobby Storey and Elvin Ray “Ab” Lemons. You see, the pair had just completed fifty years of time-honored employment with Nocona Athletic Goods, the last of the all-American made ball glove company's. The occasion brought echoes of past successes and human contentment, but in Nocona today you still experience much the same American texture of yesterday and perhaps a glimpse into tomorrow as well.
The two stately gentlemen were being honored in a way that could have taken place in the same manner when they first reported for full-time work at Nokona, in 1952, or back even earlier, in 1933 when the company started making sports equipment. During a brief and informal presentation at the celebration, Nokona’s new sales manager called the two glove makers “Legends - because that’s what their ball gloves stood for, American know-how and pride taken in a best-made product.”
A man of few words but a marveled craftsman who could literally conjure a sows ear into a playable baseball mitt, Mr. Lemons got up and fondly recalled the several men he worked with through his half-century and of the training that had been passed along to him from his old bosses.
His counter part and just as talented, Bobby Storey, had filled in at just about every job at Nokona. Bobby, the son of the sporting goods founder, R.E. “Bob” Storey had most recently served as president and now chairman of the board of Nokona. Though past retirement age like Mr. Lemons, he’s now serving at one of his favorite roles, that of ball glove designer.
At a time for employment in this country when five years is considered a long tenure with the same company, Ab and Bobby are not even the first to complete a half-century journey with Nocona Athletics. The now deceased Jewell Brickey, hit that milestone in 1993, after joining the company during World War II. That’s the kind of devotion that employees forge into this glove-making outfit. A devoted and sustained tenure here is not rare. Last year the company advertising, displayed along with Storey and Lemons, three other employees who had garnered 40 years with Nokona, Warren Clary, Bud Meekins, and Melvin Weedin.“
I don’t have to tell you that the one constant through all the years has been baseball”, wrote W.P. Kinsella. And the most constant of ball glove makers has been Nokona, and the men and women there who keep alive the tradition of American craftsmanship of ball glove making. The spirit of glove-making is still alive and well in Nocona, Texas.
