Kup

Pros: Lightweight; the stiffness is not bad in a firstbase glove because a ball going in tends to stay in. Seems to begin the "break in" process right away with use. Sharp looking glove. Came very well-oiled. Rec'd quickly after order.

Cons: Very little padding---not a problem for some players, could be for others.

Pros: I've used this glove for four games now and am very happy with it. Break in time was appropriate for a glove in this range. Great deal all the way around.

Cons: None.

hhhheeeeyyyyoooo

Pros: Its a good glove, but the leather in the palm is really thin! whenever you catch a ball in the palm ( and i know that you arent supposed to at first base), there is a tremendous amount of sting. A good glove for the money though.

Cons:

Pros: In my playing career, I've used 'em all... from the Rawlings Pro Preferred, to the Wilson A2K, to the Nokona Pro Line. This Mizuno beats them all. Excellent quality leather, nice deep pocket, firm outer edges to help reel in the off-line picks. Great design that allows for excellent control. Not quite as light as an A2K, but not too heavy by any means. This is actually the game day mitt of Todd Helton, who has a couple Gold Gloves under his belt. All in all, an outstanding value for the money.

Cons: Not a con, really, but expect to spend a fair amount of time breaking this mitt in...but once you do, it's worth it. It's pro-quality leather and therefore somewhat stiff. Mine was, but I've seen other GXF22s in stores that were a bit softer than mine.

Pros: after using rawlings products my entire life the first thing i noticed was the 3d technology with this glove when playing first base its all about hand postition in the glove this glove gets the job done and because of the hand position some of those off center grabs don't sting at all.

Cons: takes a little more time to break in then the rawlings models i have used...

Pros: Great feel for a 13". Opens wide for a huge target. Very well made. Leather feels great once broken in and doesn't feel heavy.

Cons: Takes a good 2 weeks to make playable and 4 weeks more for it to be game worthy but what did you expect? It is a pro glove.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Mizuno Classic Pro Series: GXF22 First Base Mitt? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

Is this glove more often used for baseball or men's softball? I am in need for a men's softball 1st base mit. Suggestions? Feazlenut20
This glove can be used for either, but it's more commonly used in baseball. This would work for slow pitch softball though. I wouldn't recommend anything under 13 inches for slow pitch softball.
Jeff
I have very large hands and I assume the 13 inch size is basically the biggest...how do I measure my old glove...which I think is the same as this Mizuno? I play softball and this glove is excellent for the size of the ball. Hondo
Gloves are measured by starting at the top of the index finger of the glove down the finger along the inside of the pocket and then to the heal of the glove. A flexible tape measure has to be used, not a stiff ruler. Measure from the highest point on the glove (normally the index finger). Lay the tape measure across the palm of the glove, so that it follows the folds and contour of the glove, then down to the heel of the glove.
Mark
whats the diferance between this one and the Louisville Slugger TPX Pro Flare Series: FLFB First Base Mitt? chsbaseball22
The biggest difference is going to be the leather that is used in the glove. The GXF22 is going to use natural leather from the USA and the FLFB uses oil-infused horween leather. The FLFB will take a little longer to break in. The Gxf22 will have a little more padding in the glove.
Brett
The Mizuno GXF22 is made with a softer leather. The Louisville FLFB is made with leather that is stronger and a little more durable. The GXF22 will be much easier to break in. The FLFB also feature a flare design where the top of the thumb flares outwards to create a larger catching surface.
TJ
What is the difference between this glove and the mizuno global elite 1st base glove? They look the same and they are the same size and about the same size baseball4life
This glove will be a little more stiff than the Global Series. Both of those gloves are very durable and will hope their shape.
