The Nokona Banana Tan Fastpitch Series (BTF-3250 Catchers Mitt) will be a size of 32.50".
Brandon
Why are there no reviews on this gloves? What is the break-in period and what is the best way to break this glove in?
JD
Reviews for the Nokona Banana Tan Fastpitch Series (BTF-3250) are generated by our customers directly so if there isn't one it just means that nobody has gotten on yet to review the item. The break-in period on the Banana Tan would be minimal considering the quality of the leather. The best way to break it in is to play catch repeatedly and to oil the glove and use a shaping ball and rubber bands to form the pocket.

I have a CM-275BF. Is the BTF-3250 same size and do they manufacturer a catcher's mitt in buffalo hide?
Bob Murello
Unfortunately the Nokona Banana Tan Fastpitch Series: BTF-3250 Catcher's Mitt is not made with buffalo hide. At this time, Nokona does not make a baseball catcher's mitt with buffalo hide.

JustGloves Trusted Glove Prep Service
$34.95
We Prep - You Break In - Then Break Out
You spoke and we listened. Introducing JustGloves Trusted Glove Prep! Now, you can choose for us to soften your new glove for a quicker break-in process. We will not be fully breaking in the glove, but instead pounding, conditioning and packaging the glove based on the knowledge of our Glove Experts and information we've been taught by other experts in the baseball and softball glove market. As a result, the leather will arrive supple and allow for you to easily complete the break-in process upon arrival.
The Process
Pounding
With care, your glove is pounded for multiple minutes by a state-of-the-art glove pounding machine. During this step we aim for key areas of the glove that will soften the leather and allow you to personalize the glove as needed when you take the finals steps for break-in.
Condition
Our team of Glove Experts then applies a thin layer of conditioner to the outside of your glove. The application of conditioner after multiple minutes of pounding eliminates any chance of the leather drying out before it gets delivered.
Prep For Shipment
The final step in our glove prepping process sees us place a large wiffle in the pocket of the glove. We then strategically wrap rubber bands around the glove so it closes properly. We also inspect the the heel of the glove so that it does not get pinched during shipment.
