Pros: Great glove right out of the box. Played catch with it for about 5 minutes before playing first game. To me it was ready to go.

Cons: Can feel a little heavy. Tightened strap around wrist and seemed to help.

n8ce glove after break-in period. Tom G. player

Pros: Quality glove that fits well. Use for adult softball - shortstop and 3rd base. Great for infield.

Cons: Break-in period a bit longer than most gloves. No other cons experienced.

Tommy Canuck

Pros: This glove is incredibly well made and stiff in all the right places. The detail and the quality of leather are like nothing I have ever seen. I've only owned it for two weeks at this point but it IS game ready although I expect it to break in a little more over time as it takes shape to my hand. This is my first Nokona glove. My previous brand was Rawlings which I doubt I would ever go back to however, it is way too early to tell.

Cons: The price could be considered a con but I strongly believe that this is going to last me multiple seasons based on the feel and craftsmanship. Can't say for sure though. A lot of people have mentioned the 'long' break-in period. I am going to call it a 'difficult' break-in period. I grabbed the Nokona conditioner and followed the instructions for application on the 'Justballgloves' website and then played and tossed the ball into it like crazy for a week. It was then game ready ... So the break-in was difficult but not long. Hope that helps! Great glove :D

Pros: Good leather quality and craftsmanship in this glove. Very large pocket area for softball. Good for people with large hands, and suitable for outfield use.

Cons: large hand area, and even when the straps are tightened, it is too loose in the finger areas for smaller hands. The web has a large arch at the top, and the thumb is excessively long making it difficult to pick up balls from the ground and will become floppy over time. You must scoop a stationary ball up, which is fine for outfield but not optimum for middle infield.

Pros: I love the feel and how it fits. The pocket has formed very well. The craftsmanship is top notch! Made in the US of A. I play 3-4 days a week and I love this glove.

Cons: It took a little longer to break in that I thought. But it was worth the wait.

Pros: Very durable... awesome glove. My daughter LOVES this glove like nothing other! Dad Loves Nokona because they stand by there product. after 2 seasons of play there was a little hole forming inbetweeen two fingers (palm side). Glove was out of warranty and they excepted the glove back, repaired it and sent back asap. VERY HAPPY with there service. Plus they're American made!! The only way to go.

Cons: None... other than the leather is so tough... they take a bit to break in.

Pros: Great, classic baseball glove. Ball Glove Warehouse's service was really good. I had trouble getting this glove from other vendors (one was back ordered, another sent the wrong glove), but BGW sent exactly what I ordered and it arrived in 5 days.

Cons: This glove is very stiff and will take a while to break in, but all good things take time.

Pros: My Dad bought me this glove whenever I was fourteen years old (of course, the glove has been cosmetically update since then, but the glove itself is identical.) I haven't had a lot of high quality gloves in my day, but I have used other expensive broken-in gloves of my friends (A2000, Zett) and while I do like the weight of the Zett being somewhat lighter, no glove has ever compared to the feel and softness the Nokona leather achieves. I'm 25 now and the glove, well as you can imagine is amazing. I stopped playing hardcore baseball when I was like 16 or so but I enjoy the old equipment

Cons: Is a little heavy...

Pros: By far the best glove I ever owned. Broke in wonderfully, fit perfectly.

Cons: I lost it last weekend after coaching my son's Little League game. I'm in mourning--and so is my son, for whom I was "just breaking it in" until he grew big enough to use it.

Pros: This glove is probably the strongest and the most durable glove on the field. This glove will last you the rest of your life if you take good care of it. Also it's AMERICAN MADE!!!! And it's really an under priced glove if you ask me.

Cons: The only part I hate about it is that it is really a pain to break in.

Enter Search Term(s)

Is this a baseball or softball model? CoachJ

It's typically used for baseball, but there's nothing that says it can't be used for softball.

Jeff

Do you know when you will have a right handed throw model in stock? Tan Man

We should be getting the right hand throwers in stock soon. As soon as we get them in, they will be up on our website and you will be able to purchase them.

Brett

Could this glove be used for third base softball? IG

Sure. The size is up to your personal preference, but there is nothing that says this glove cannot be used in softball.

Brett

It says it's a softball glove, but everyone seems to be using it for baseball. What is softball or baseball? Dave

There is nothing that says it cannot be used for baseball. This is designed with a larger pocket and a slightly smaller hand opening to accommodate a softball player. However, this model fits pretty comfortably for adults males with average to slightly above average size hands. If you use it for baseball, nobody will know it's advertised as a softball glove.

Brett

Does the Nokona classic come in a 12.75 for a right handed softball player? jana

The Classic Walnut series does not come in a 12.75.

KB

If it's typically for baseball then why is it listed as a softball model? Hal

This glove can be used for baseball if someone likes to have a bigger pocket. This glove would work great in both.

Kris

Do they make it for a left hander? Bnice81

This glove is made for a left handed thrower. We are currently out of stock on that option. We are expecting to receive more and once we do, that option will be listed on our website for you to choose.

Jennifer

Is this glove too small to be used in the outfield? Rob

The Nokona Classic Walnut Softball Series: WS1200C (AMG175WCW) is usually more preferred by infielders since it is only a 12.00 model. However, if you prefer a smaller glove for outfield, this glove could certainly still be used.

Jennifer

What kind of leather does this glove have? Code

The Nokona Walnut Softball Series gloves will feature a full aniline leather which is extremely soft yet strong and durable.

Mac

Does it come in a left handed throw model? Chuck

Unfortunately, we are sold out of the 2016 Nokona Classic Walnut Softball Series: WS1200C in a left hand thrower model.

John P.

Nokona once made a 12" Walnut Series baseball glove. Is this the same glove or are they not making it for baseball anymore? Dave

Nokona still features a 12" Walnut Baseball Glove on their site. However, we have not carried that baseball mitt in a while. This Nokona Classic Walnut Softball Series (WS-1200C) will differ as its design should allow for a bigger pocket to handle a softball.
