CoachB
Pros: Purchased this glove for my 11th grade daughter. Loves the glove so far we are still breaking it in but it's almost there. Great quality as expected.
Cons:
Deuce
Pros: I wanted to get my daughter a new glove and every time I looked for one of the best gloves out there, this glove came up. My daughter is 11 and plays club softball. She has been playing for 3 years. This glove has really helped her blocking and framing. She is doing well with it. Anytime the ball gets near the glove it seems to find its way in the pocket.
Cons: It is hard to break in. We did not do anything fancy. We just bought the Nokona glove conditioner and put it under the bed and played catch with it. It took about 3 weeks before she could squeeze it but it is fine when it is broken in. If you replace the old glove and switch to this glove, just have patience with the break in process.
Softball addict
Pros: This is an excellent glove. It has a deep pocket which is perfect for the competitive catcher. My daughter is a H.S. catcher and loves this glove and deep pocket. This glove is well made and worth every penny.
Cons: Break in takes some effort but can be done with commitment. I ran it under 145 degree water as suggested in the other post and worked it with a 4lb sledge hammer. I let it dry and gave it some oil on the palm, then worked it some more with the sledge. It was broken in in 3 days! The only down side to this glove is when the glove is opened wide, the top of the pocket dips down slightly. It takes some getting used to but not a big issue.

Pros: Great mitt. Perfect out of the box. This mitt hauls in anything near it. One of the best products I have ever bought.
Cons:
Titan Softball
Pros: This is clearly a quality mitt at a reasonable price. This mitt stands out among a bench full of gloves and mitts, making it easy to identify and locate, getting players on the field quickly, between innings
Cons: Break in period is long, but we started early.
PitchPerfectly.net
Pros: I have coached girls elite fastpitch softball for 30 years. This is by far the best softball catchers mitt you can buy. It is the only catchers mitt I allow my catchers to use. One of the best features of this glove is the "Texas Trap" web. When the ball hits this area, the design of the glove actually helps to wrap the mitt around the ball keeping it in the glove. Unlike other catchers mitts, when blocking a low pitch, I have never seen the Nokona flex backwards and allow a pitch to get past our catchers. Also, my catchers are required to use the cow hide. The other version are too soft and significantly reduce length of life by 50 to 75 percent.
Cons: It does take a while to break this glove in but once done it is unbeatable. (Note: the best way to break in this glove is to do it the way we did in the minor leagues with a hot water treatment and a hammer. Run 140 degree hot water over the inside pocket until it is soaked. Then hit it with a hammer to break in the leather. Then flex it, put a ball in the pocket and one in the web and wrap it with a rubber band and allow to dry over night. You may need to do this two, three or four times.)
dana
Pros: when i was 11 i broke my thumb catching in a bad mitt so my parents decided to invest in this glove. it was huge for me at the time but im 16 and have grown into it. the leather is still supple but the glove remains stiff. this is honestly the best investment you could make for your daughter if she's a catcher.
Cons:
Les
Pros: The design of the glove is great. Makes scooping up the ball very easy
Cons: Only had the glove for a couple of weeks the glove is still as hard as a rock. So breaking it in is very slow, but I do feel once it finally breaks in it will be a great glove for many years.
Shane
Pros: My daughter loves this mitt!! She plays 12U. Tough on the break'n...but once it's there.....sweeeeet!! Guess you could say we are a Nokona family!! Nokona is all my son has used thru out jr. high and high school ball!! Not to be left out....I bought one as well just to play catch with the kids. Nokona makes some great gloves that last and last!!!
Cons: None....all good leather needs a break in!!!!
