Do you make this glove in 11inch Hector
WE do not carry this glove in an 11.00 inch. The smallest we carry it in is going to be an 11.50 inch glove.

Linda
I am looking for a glove for my little girl. She plays infield on a 10u travel ball team and has a small hand. Let me Know if you have something that with fit her needs. Dean
The Nokona is an adult baseball glove and will be too big for a 9 year old girl. I would recommend a 11.00 fastpitch glove;Mizuno Prospect Fastpitch Series: GPP1107 Youth or Wilson A440 Series: FP11BR Fastpitch.
Kara
Does this glove come in a size12.5 or 13.00 inch? Mike
The 12.5 inch in this series is a first base mitt nor is there a 13 inch model available.

I play 3rd Base, Short, and pitch for my schools varsity team. I'm 15 and I also play on a travel team. Is this glove for the positions I play and is going to last? muel
The Nokona Bloodline Black Series would be a great choice for the positions that you play and it is a very durable glove. If taken care of properly, it should last a long time.

What kind of leather is this made from?CT4? I know last year's Bloodline had CT4 leather, but it's being discontinued. john
The Nokona Bloodline Black Series uses the same leather as last year's Bloodine glove.

Would this be a good glove for pitcher and a little right field? I play travel ball and I am a lefty. zach
The Nokona Bloodline Black Series would be a great choice for a pitcher. It may be a little small for outfield play though.

The Nokona Bloodline Black Series does tend to run about a 1/4" smaller than the listed size.

Will this glove be too small to use in college as a shortstop, pitcher, or second baseman? nokona is amazing
The Nokona Bloodline Black Series: BL1150MBLK runs approximately 1/4" smaller than advertised. We recommend a 11.75" or 12.00" glove. The Nokona Bloodline Black Series: BL1175HBLK would be a good alternative.

Yes, the Nokona Bloodline Black (BL1150MBLK) model is ideal for High School level infielders. The 11.5" design makes it perfect for a middle infielder.

How stiff are these gloves when you buy them? ryan
The Nokona Bloodline Black Series: (BL1150MBLK) requires the most effort toward the break-in out of all of the Nokona models. The Bloodline is a very stiff glove. Check it out with our 100 Day Guarantee: http://www.justballgloves.com/customer-service/guarantee/
Mac
Can this glove be worn by a slow pitch softball second baseman? Sean
The Nokona Bloodline Black Series (BL1150MBLK0) is a baseball pattern and is best suited for catching baseballs. The Nokona Bloodline can be used for slow pitch softball, but it does not feature a deep pocket like most softball specific gloves.
Jason
I cant decide between this glove and the X2 elite. What is your opinion? Shawzy
The main differences between the Nokona X2 Elite (X2-1150) and the Nokona Bloodline Black Series (BL1150mBLK) is the leather used in the manufacturing process. The X2 uses kangaroo and stampede leathers, which are fairly high quality as well as very durable. The combination of the two leathers also helps this glove to have a quicker break in period. The (Nokona Bloodline Black Series BL1150MBLK) uses the Black Prime Bloodline leather, which provides a stiffer overall feel (than the X2) as well as provides the perfect combination of sturdiness and comfort. The Bloodline will require a longer break in process as well.
Patrick
I cannot decide between this and the Buffalo Combo. What do you think? ejs6
Both glove lines would be extremely good choices, and both would offer great durability. The Walnut Leather in the Buffalo Combo Series makes it a bit easier to break-in. I do believe, once broken-in, the Nokona Bloodline Black Series (BL1150MBLK) will offer better durability/structure with good care, but you couldn't go wrong with either Series.
Mac
I read that the break in period for this series is long, but once broken in, it becomes extremely "floppy." I've never owned a Nokona glove, but does the leather remain stiff after breaking it in? jamesjhcho
A glove like the Nokona Bloodline Black Series (BL1150MBLK) should not become "floppy" if broken in correctly and taken care of correctly. The Bloodline leather is a very stiff and durable leather.
