My son is left handed, is this the corrrect mitt for him? wendy
As long as you select "Left Hand Thrower" under the Choose a Size option then you're good to go.
Jeff
1) Would this glove last for about 4 years? 2) Is this glove heavy? 3) Does it have a deep pocket? 4) Is it worth the money? 5) Is it durable (i.e. Would it tear when sliding through dirt multiple times?) 6) ectreanor
-This glove is made out of steerhide, so it will be a pretty durable glove. It's possible that it could last up to 4 years...but what kind of shape it's in at that time, I can't make any promises. -In my opinion, it's no heavier than other gloves of the same leather and size. -The pocket will be a little more shallow than other gloves of the same size. -For $69.99 it's definitely worth the money. It would be hard to recommend any other mitts in the same price range over this one. -This is made out of a durable steerhide leather and full-grain leather lacing. Catcher's mitts are made to withstand frequent use like you mentioned.
Brett
what size is it and is it for a left handed thrower gma
This particular Nike model is 33.50 Inches. It is also offered for Right-Handed and Left-Handed Throwers. The website will provide only the options we have in stock at that given time.
Jeff
on the edges where the abrasion guards are located is there leather under them or does it stop where they start? that has me concerned that it will tear there. tim
The abrasion guards are sewn on top of the leather. So, there are two layers, the abrasion guard material and then the leather of the glove.
Jeff
Is there a reason that this glove isn't for left handed throwers anymore? Jake
We only show what we have in stock. When we get more left hand throwers in stock, that option will be back up on our website.
Brett
Would you recommend this glove over a Rawlings sandlot mitt? Neddy
Both are excellent options for those players who are looking for a game-ready catchers mitt. It really comes down to the preference of the player. The Sandlot series has a antique-type look and will have a slightly deeper pocket. The Nike N1 has a more modern, new look and will have a shallower pocket for quicker ball transfer. It just depends on what the specific player is looking for.
John
Would this glove be to big for a 12 year old? Chris
This glove would be a good fit for a 12 year old. It will also have softer leather for a game ready feel with a quick break in period.
JH
Would this glove fit a 12 year old? Monkey
It may be just a little too big for a 12 year old. A 33.5 inch mitt like this one are more often used by High School and College age players. For 12 and 13 year olds, a 32 or 32.5 inch catchers mitt is more commonly recommended.
John
how long does glove take to break in? Josh
This glove should take about 3-4 days to break in before it is game ready. This glove is going to have a lot of padding and be a very durable glove.
Brett
For a catchers mitt, this will be moderately soft, but will still require a good break-in period. If you work with it everyday it should be good to go after about 2 weeks.
Brett
how long does this glove take to break in?and also which glove would u perfer for a high school catcher this nike or a rawlings 32.5 renegade series catchers mitt? nikenike,oRawlings 32.5" Renegade Series Catcher's MiRawlings 32.5" Renegade Series Catcher's Mitt J.Fisher
This glove will take about 2-3 days to break in. After those couple of days this glove will be game ready. This glove is going to be a very durable glove and going to be one of the better ones in this price range.
Brett
the leather lacing broke and in the pocket and the glove was used less than one season. what are my options to get it repaired. jim
If the glove broke within our 100 day guarantee period you can send it back to us and we can replace it. Otherwise, I would try a local shoe or leather store. We do not do repairs.
K.B.
Can this glove be used for softball Kayt
Because of the pocket type, it could be broken in with a softball.
Linda

Sean
why is it that when i click on the 33.50 size catchers mitt i dont see this glove? lol
Thank you for brining this to our attention. This is a 33.5 inch mitt and I will make sure the issue is fixed. It may take 24 hours for the site to reflect the change.
John
If I get this for christmas and baseball starts a month or so after do I have time to break it in? None
Yes, that will give you plenty of time to break in the bat
Sean
could it fit a seven foot mans hand strech
Yes, it could possibly fit a seven foot mans hand
Sean
I've had my glove for 6 weeks still non catchable. How did you break it in. I throw almost every day with my dad. How can i get it ''catchable''. drms 17
You may want to make sure you are oiling the glove before use, that will help break in the leather quicker
Sean
i have had this glove since the end october... i have thrown about every day and tried using glove oils. I can still not catch with it is very stiff when ever i catch it i feel like im just stopping it. how can i get it broken in, i am thinking about purcahsing a new glove? anything will help alg4
You may want to try and put a little more oil on the glove and just try and work with the glove. Try hitting the glove with a rubber mallet or hammer to get the leather softer.
KG
Will this glove fit a large adult hand comfortably jim
Yes Jimmie, this glove is made for adults!
Shelbe
would u recommemed it to a for a kid in travel ball? me
Yes. This is a very durable glove and will have good padding.
KG
I throw right handed and it only has the left hand throwing option, does that mean they dont have right hand throwers in stock? hunt
We only show what is currently in stock and ready to ship. If it only shows an option for a Left Handed Thrower, then that is all we have in stock. We should be receiving a new shipment of BF1357 gloves, but we do not have an ETA.
Tyler
Could I use this for softball? I am a high school varsity catcher and I need a new glove, would this work for me? Julia
The Nike N1 Air Series: BF1357 Catcher's Mitt is a baseball model and not suited for the bigger ball used in softball. We recommend using a fastpitch catchers model.
Jason
Is this glove good for a high school catcher? cowboy
Yes. The Nike N1 Air Series (BF1357) Catcher's Mitt would be a great option for a player at the high school level and beyond.
Patrick
Does this glove have quality padding? Lil Freese
Checking the Glove Features for additional padding technologies, and looking at customer reviews on the product page, will provide the best insight into whether a glove has good padding. I do not see any negative reviews for the Nike N1 Air Series (BF1357) Catcher's Mitt that mention a lack of padding.
