or
Would this glove be good for a HS second basemen and a pitcher. If not what other gloves would you recommend? billy
The size and style of this glove makes it a great option for a High School infielder and pitcher. Based on you position and age a glove between 11.5 and 12 inches is typically recommended.
JH
Would this glove be good for a HS second basemen and a pitcher? joe
An 11.5 or 11.75 inch glove would be a good option for a High Schooler playing 2nd and pitching. The style would also be good for either position.
John
Is this good for a 13 year old that plays travel ball but soon to play HS ball? Is it good for a shortstop? Chris
This would definitely be a quality glove to use at shortstop and it is a good size to grow into and possibly use your entire High School career.
Brett
Does this glove have good padding in the palm area? Mkey
This glov has average palm padding compared to similar gloves in the same price range.
Mark
Would this glove be a good choice for a soft and durable glove? Mkey
This will be a very durable glove. It may not be the softest right out of the box, but it is a good, high quality glove.
JH
Wold this glove be soft, good padding, and durable? I'm really just trying to find a soft, durable, high quality glove. Would this be a good choice? If not, what would? Mkey
This glove is very durable and has average amount of padding compared to other gloves of similar quality and style. It will take a little bit of time to break in because it is such a high quality glove. Other similar gloves that come to mind are the Rawlings Heart of the Hide Series, Louisville Slugger TPX Pro Flare Series and Akadema Torino Series.
JH
I have a 10 year old son that has been using an Easton 12" glove and would like to buy a nicer glove. He plays second base and outfield. Might pitch this fall also. He is average size. Would this be a good glove for him? chad
At 11.5 inches, this would be a good utility glove for a younger player around your son's age. This is a high quality glove that will take quite a bit of time to break in (especially for a 10 year old) so be sure to plan on it taking several weeks before he's comfortable with it.
JH
Don't know what glove to get between the bc1150 or the pl1150 for secong base or all-around infield? rickybobby
Both are high-quality, durable gloves. The Pro Line will be a little stiffer compared to the Buffalo which will be a little more game ready. However, the Buffalo Combo Series is known for its great flexibility while keeping its shape and fit over time. I can't tell you which to buy and both will be great utility infield gloves. Ths choice is yours.
TJ
I was wondering which glove would be softer, have better padding, and which one would be heavier? This or the Wilson A2000 1786DB? Wm4
This is going to be a glove that will last you a very long time. It will take about a week to break in and will be a little heavier than most gloves in this size.
Brett
I am trying to decide between the Nokona Pro Line Series or the Buffalo Combo Series. I play both second base and center field. Which is a better all around glove? What are the pros and cons of each glove? K.O
Both are high quality, durable gloves. The Pro Line Series will be a little stiffer and will require more of a break-in period compared to the Buffalo Combo Series. The Buffalo Combo Series will weigh about between .5 and .75 ounces lighter than a Pro Line of similar style and size. Neither is better than the other and it depends on your preferrence. If you prefer a slightly stiffer glove, go with the Pro Line. If you prefer a softer glove, go with the Buffalo Combo. As far as size, an 11.5 inch glove like this one would be a good utility glove for a player between 10 and 12 years old. A player around the age of 12 and older who plays multiple positions may be better suited with a larger glove around 12 inches.
Brett
How long does this glove normally last and is it good for 3rd base and outfield? Aaron
There really is no set lifetime for a glove, they can last multiple years, this is going to be a very good option for a 3rd basemen and an outfielder
Sean
Would this glove work for junior high shortstop? Plasticfilmguy
At 11.5 inches, it would be a good option that you should be able to use for many years to come in the infield.
Tyler
Will this glove be good for a high school outfielder? Luke
At 11.5 inches, this may be a little too small for a High School age outfielder in my opinion. The most common size for a High School outfielder is 12.25 to 12.75 inches
Tyler
Is this a good for a 12 year old that plays 3rd base? Letty
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1150M (AMG1150BCMT) would be a great option for a 12 year old playing 3rd base. It is also a good size that will allow the player room to grow and is very durable so it should last a long time.
Jennifer
How would this compare weight wise to a Nokona Pro Line? Caen
In terms of weight, the Buffalo Combo and Pro Line Series from Nokona will be pretty close to each other. However, the Pro Line will be just a little lighter in weight, but not by much.
Tyler
Is this a good glove for an 11 year old boy who plays everywhere in the field? bob
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1150M (AMG1150BCMT) would be a very good option for someone that will be playing all positions on the field. An 11.75 inch glove would work for that as well. Here is a link to take a look at an 11.75 inch option.

Tom
Is this a heavy glove? Mdtg
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1150M is average in weight compared to other high-end 11.5" models.
Tyler
Which glove is better? This one or the Wilson A2000 1786 Model I-Web? I play middle infield and third base. VENOMB3AST24
Both gloves would be great selections. The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1150M (AMG1150BCMT) glove will feature buffalo and walnut leather. This leather will have long lasting durability. This glove is made in the USA. The 11.50" size is the typical size of a high school/college middle infielder. The A2000 will be made from Prostock leather which will be just as great as the Nokona. The big difference will be the web on the gloves. The Nokona will have the modified T-Web. The A2000 will have the I-Web.
Brandon
I have seen in other answers here that this Buffalo BC1150M is softer, lighter and easier to break in than the PL1150M Pro Line. But in the 12 inch models it is the other way around. Is this accurate? Frank
That is correct, at 12.00" the Nokona Buffalo Combo Series gloves use a thicker grade of leather to support the larger glove size.
Kevin
What kind of maintenance needs to be done to keep this glove in good condition? I don't want to spend $260 dollars and not properly take care of and eventually ruin this glove. Sorianofan15
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1150M (AMG1150BCMT) would be kept in great condition if you apply a thin layer of glove oil during the break-in process. Then apply a thin layer before you put it away for the winter. Then once more after winter before your season. When not using I would keep it in your room where the temperature is always good.
Brandon
I have never owned a Nokona glove and I'm wondering if it's right for me? I play middle infield and pitch. I'm debating between this, an A2000 or a Heart of the Hide. rays fan 3
All three gloves you are asking about are going to be very similar in leather quality, which is one of the most important features to look at when shopping around. The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1150M (AMG1150BCMT) will run a little small, but it will be great for infield.
Noah
Is this glove big enough to use in the outfield? Zack816
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1150M (AMG1150BCMT) is too small for the outfield. We recommend a 12.50" model for an outfielder.
Kara
My son is 11, average size. Just wondering if this glove would be too heavy? Looks heavy, but sweet. Teldo26
The buffalo leather used in the Nokona Buffalo Combo Series (BC1150M) makes the glove a little lighter compared to the all walnut series. The lightest glove is the Nokona X2 Elite Series ( X2-1150).
Kara
I am going into high school and really want this glove, I was just wondering if it is good? t-ball
Yes, the Nokona Buffalo Combo (BC1150M) (AMG1150BCMT) is a very good glove for high school baseball play. It features the buffalo leather which will last for multiple years.
Sean
Is this glove easy to break-in? I play SS, what would be the right size? FSU_23
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series BC1150M (AMG1150BCMT) will be pretty stiff. It will take a few weeks to break-in. The glove will be an 11.50" design and the perfect size to play middle infield.
Brandon
Which position is this glove mainly for? Tyler
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series (BC1150M) (AMG1150BCMT) is primarily intended for utility infield usage in the 11.50 inch model.
Joe
How durable is this glove? Tyler
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series (BC1150M) (AMG1150BCMT) will be created from Buffalo and Walnut leather which combine together to make a glove is flexible, yet still durable. With proper care, this glove will last a player multiple seasons.
Ben
Would this glove be good for pitching? Tyler
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series (BC1150M) (AMG1150BCMT) is primarily intended for utility infield, such as a pitcher, as it features a Modified T Web and an 11.50" pattern.
Liz
What's the difference between this glove and the Nokona Pro Line Series PL1150? Which would be better for a high school 3rd baseman? Tate
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series BC1150M (AMG1150BCMT) features an 11.50 inch pattern offering a blend of Walnut premium steerhide and Buffalo hide. The Buffalo hide is very soft and allows a quick break in period, and the Walnut leather allows long term structure and durability. The Nokona Pro Line Series PL1150M (AMG1150SXMT) will feature a blend of the Buckskin Cowhide and Sandstone leathers. These leather grades will be very durable, however they will require a break in period as well. Either model would be an excellent choice, however, some third basemen do prefer a glove pattern larger than an 11.50.
Joe
Is this glove good for 14U, 15U and 16U? Z
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1150M (AMG1150BCMT) is a terrific option for a 14+ year old middle infielder.
Jason
Is this glove a light enough glove to "turn two" with? I am looking for a glove that has a light enough weight to enhance a player's hand speed. Will
Yes, the Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1150M (AMG1150BCMT) will be light enough to "turn two" with.
Damon
My daughter is 13 years old and needs a 12" glove. Her hands are small and she has a hard time squeezing a normal glove. What would be a good glove for her? tre
If she has a hard time squeezing an adult size glove, a youth glove may be a suitable solution. Youth gloves have tighter finger stalls and a smaller hand opening to create a more snug fit for a smaller hand. I would also recommend looking for a glove with soft leather as those have quicker break-in periods and are easier to close compared to gloves with high quality leather that are more stiff.
Angelique
Is this a good glove for a 9 year old? John
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1150M (AMG1150BCMT) features a standard fit for an adult. I would recommend the Nokona Alpha Select Series Baseball Glove: S-200 Youth for a 9 year old.
Dan
Does the glove look like the one in the photos or the video? Daniel
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC-1150M has changed appearance look over the years. The glove will now appear as that of which is shown in the pictures. Unfortunately the video is no longer an accurate portrayal of the glove.
