Pros: WOW! Ordered on Monday, delivered on Friday, played Saturday. Glove feels 95% broken in right out of the box. The quality is outstanding. None of my teamates could believe this was a $70 glove. I have a medium size hand, and the fit system is terrific. This is a terrific buy!

Cons: None.

Pros: Stunning! I just wanted a big ol' 14" fly-ball eater for my men's softball team but didn't want to spend too much since OF isn't my primary position, but I didn't want a cheap-o PE class glove either. Well, this glove is so awesome that I might be asking my coach for more playing time out there! Smells, looks and feels like highest-quality leather, MUCH more so than I would've dreamed for a glove this price. Fits my small-to-medium hand just fine, but the finger stall have plenty of extra room so it should comfortably fit larger hands as well. The pocket is massive, and the glove feels true to size. Can't wait to gobble up white balls like a Hungry Hungry Hippo. To boot, it's so soft that break in time is extremely minimal. Didn't even need the glove oil I ordered, just worked it with my hands, played a little catch, and now it's pretty much game ready.

Cons: WARNING - This glove comes with the nagging sense of fear and worry that this site will be contacting you at any minute to tell you that they sent you a $200 glove by mistake and need it back!

Glove worth a lot more than I paid

Pros: The leather is soft and easily molds to your hand. After using it twice and then baking it with the glove foam, I feel like it's almost broken in. This glove was a GREAT buy! You can't beat the price.

Cons: None!

Pros: I waited a really long time before replacing my High School glove and did a bunch of research. I finally decided to pull the trigger on this one and boy am I glad I did. As the most helpful review on this site indicated, I also could not get over the low price of this glove. Once I received it I simply put a softball in the pocket and rubber banded it for a few days. I was able to play ball with it no problem. Love the Velcro strap and it fits perfectly. No need to wear a batting glove like I did with my old glove. I play 4-6 games a week and couldn't be happier with this glove…Go ahead…buy this glove…you won't regret it!!

Cons: None

Pros: Sweet glove. Good leather. Fits my hand well. Nice wrist strap.Good pinky finger support. Captain of our team bought a 90 dollar Mizuno glove and this one is way better for less money.

Cons: I have only played 6-7 games, mainly outfield, I am a little worried about the leather strips connecting the forefinger and the middle finger at the very tip of the glove. I predict that within a year they will break. Other than that, fantastic glove. I haven't dropped a ball yet.

Pros: - Flexible and almost broken in upon arrival. - BIG pocket. I was able to catch and field with this the first day I had it. - Shapeable; put a ball in it under your mattress overnight and it's good to go. - Comfortable good comfortable inside. - PRICE! This thing was a great price for a nice Mizuno. - Good weight for a 14-inch glove. - Closed pocket webbing...much better than the open webbing, if you ask me. Very strong and sturdy.

Cons: - The finger-lanes are a little too small at first to wear with a glove on inside. That will probably change over time. - The pointer finger hole is pretty much useless, but I guess nice to have there anyway.

Pros: Fits really well, well made, easy to break in. Shipped super quickly, & the return policy seems great, even though I haven't had to use it.

Cons: Material in hand slot gets a bit warm while using, but that's not too bad.

I know that there is a baseball glove that looks a lot like this it is called the mizuno diamond pro. It is a 12 inch infield model. Do you have this glove or know about it? Chris

I'm not familiar with the Diamond Pro Series. I have searched Mizuno's web site and the only gloves that match that description are the Mizuno Global Elite VOP Series: GGE5V and the Mizuno Franchise Softball Series: GFN1403.

K.B.

My hand is fairly large and I also play first base would this glove be a good fit for me honestly? Moose

Yes, the Mizuno Franchise Softball Series: GFN1403 would be a great fit for you.

I have a fairly small hand. Should I go with the GFN1303 or go all the way to the GFN1403? bayareabosoxfan

I recommend our Glove Coach. It's a great tool that helps players determine the best size glove: http://www.ballglovewarehouse.com/glove-coach/

Tyler

Is this a good 3rd base men glove? norm

I've seen all size gloves at use at third base in slow pitch. Most commonly, it's a 13", but some prefer a larger pocket found in 14" mitts (like the Mizuno Franchise Softball Series: GFN1403).

Tyler

I was ready to buy this glove but after reading the reviews there were two reviews that indicated the lacing broke within the first two weeks. What is up with that? Do you have many gloves that have this problem and why do you think it is happening. What is the guarantee if this happens after you receive the glove. Billy

All of our gloves have a 100 Day guarantee. You can break it in and fully play with it for 100 days. You can return it or exchange it for any reason. I have not heard of many issues with this Mizuno Franchise Softball Series: GFN1403. This glove will come with a softer feel and have a light play weight.

Brandon

Does this glove have padding in the palm? Nick 12

Yes, the Mizuno Franchise Softball Series: GFN1403 glove features a ParaShock Palm Pad.
