Nokona for the WIN! John Keen Coach
Pros: Looks amazing, feels great and that NOKONA Leather smells like Heaven! Huge pocket and love the adjustable strap! Totally Satisfied!
Cons: It wasn't "GAME READY" out of the box. I even had Just Gloves do their "BREAK IN" and it wasn't ready. After 100 plus balls on 50mph, 3 conditionings and some breakin with the stick.....It's coming together quite nice.
Quality Glove John Coach
Pros: You can easily tell it is made with high quality leather. It is light enough for my 10 year old.
Cons: Very Stiff. The break-in process has been a lot longer than any glove I’ve purchased in the past.
High quality John Coach
Pros: Great glove.
Cons: Very stiff on arrival
Tim
Pros: Very light weight and beautiful craftsmanship. This is a glove that should only get better with time. The glove has a great pocket and the design really helps gather in off center catches.
Cons: For my daughter, the glove was quite stiff out of the box but we are having fun breaking it in. Give it some time and some TLC and you will be happy.
NISM0
Pros: Not bulky at all! Very light! Game ready! Perfect for small hands!
Cons: May need to wear an inner glove to provide padding.

Besides the softer leather for faster break-in period, are there any other differences in construction, padding etc. between the X2 and the S-V2? mike
Would the SV-2 be a good glove for my 14 year old daughter starting high school next year or would she grow out of it too quickly? Would the X2 be a better choice for her high school years? mike
My daughter is 16, 5'8" and I'm worried this will be too small for her. Thoughts? Momma G
I came looking for answers between the SV2 and the X2 softball catchers mitt and am a little confused by some of the expert advice. I understand the difference in leather between the SV2 and X2 but they are both 32.5" which almost all of the Nokona fastpitch catchers mitts are. One expert recommended a 33-33.5" mitt for a 16 year old while another said the X2 - 32.5" would be good through high school. I'm assuming that the only reason someone would outgrow the SV2 is if their hands outgrew the palm area? The SV2 is sold as an intermediate/youth and more "snug" which leads me to believe that it's mainly the hand area which is a bit smaller but the overall pocket and outer mitt size is the same. My daughter plays 12u travel and will be moving to 14u next year so I struggled between the two models. She is average size (about 5'8" and 110 lbs) with somewhat small hands. Worried about the weight difference and wanting something guaranteed to fit. I decided on the SV2 which is 100 grams less than the X2 but am really hoping she can use it up to or past 16. Any input on this would be appreciated. Nick
My daughter is 14 years old. She is 5'8". I am looking for a glove that will last her throughout high school and beyond. She is a left handed thrower. The only sizes that I have been able to find for here is the 32.5". Are there any options out there for my player? Sean
My daughter is a 1st year 12U player on a tournament/travel team. She currently has the Mizuno Prospect Fastpitch Series GXS101 (32.5"). The two primary pitchers can throw 45mph pitches and it is time to upgrade her glove. She is not a big kid, so fit for her hand and good padding / proper coverage in the thumb area is critical. Is this glove going to fit the bill? Especially for thumb coverage/padding? Paul B
Is this a buffalo skin glove? Sam
My daughter catches on a club with a pitcher throwing 60-64 mph. She's 16, a sophomore playing varsity and travel ball. Looking for a great glove that will last and help her scoop balls while also providing enough protection. Is this the glove for her? dayday
Is the pocket sufficiently large enough to handle a 12” ball? Liz
