Pros: The Nokona X2 lived up to our expectations. It was the high end glove but got tired of buying the less expensive and replacing frequently because of school and travel ball. It does need break-in. The ball bounces in the pocket slightly but you can tell the break-in will be quick...one or two weeks of use.
Cons:
JJ
Pros: Comes ready out of the box.
Cons: Comes ready out of the box. There is a flaw in the design. It ties at the bottom of the pocket after the ball being caught enough times it comes undone. Daughter was in middle of game and had to stop the ball from falling out. The leather loosen easily so doesn't keep tight fit on the hands. Wanted to send it in but they said it would be six weeks before I'd get it back, couldn't really do that until we got a break in the season, which wasn't till now. I sent it back to the factory with most of the laces undone and the stuffing on the strap showing because glove is so loose it slips off hand. Hate I don't love it. I've loved my previous 2 Nokona gloves. Fingers crossed its back in January and ready for the field.
QualityTerrible p lem player
Pros: ready out of box
Cons: ties on the pocket loosen up and untie because of ball being caught in it. had it less than a year and already need new one. my first Nokona lasted two years. called to use warranty snd was told it eould tske 4-6 weeks to get replacement. completely unacceptable we ste in ghe middle of travel season
Tammy
Pros: My daughter has been needing a new glove for a few years now but just couldn't part with it. We have been searching for the perfect glove to take its place and we have found it with this glove! She is a 17 yr old pitcher and 3rd baseman and has fallen in love with this glove. It came game ready and she hasn't missed a beat! Thanks for making such a high quality glove.
Cons: None
great Quality Neil Rice-Sports Junkie Academy other
Pros: I purchased this glove to replace my A2002 and use it for multiple purposes since I run an indoor facility. the break in is great and quality even better!
Cons: none yet
Nix
Pros: I bought this glove for my 11 year old daughter and she absolutely loves it. The glove fits nicely on her hand and is very light. The leather is soft and already came conditioned. An older girl / adult will be able to play with this glove within a few days. A younger kid (like my 11 year old) will require about two weeks of break-in before she is comfortable using it in a game.
Cons: It is a pricey glove but if it lasts her into high school, it will have been worth it.
Baltimore Mike
Pros: High quality leather, designed perfectly, this model comes mostly broken in. This is my third Nakona X2 Elite, first one was for my daughter another was a girl and the most current was a 12.5 inch for my daughter again as she is growing and I thought she might need it in the future. Just a great glove
Cons: The price is on the high end of the market. This glove is for a serious player.
Nokona X2Elite Softball Mom #1 Firecrackers parent
Pros: Nice glove. top of the line. break in is a couple of weeks using at practice and conditioning with Nokona conditioner. I was concerned glove was going to be hard to break in. This was not the case for this glove. My daughter is 13 playing travel ball and is very pleased with glove.
Cons: a little stiff in palm area. Any glove you buy needs to be broken in.
Softball dad
Pros: Very well built. looks like it will last a lifetime.
Cons: This glove is not close to "game ready" out of the box. Expect several weeks to break in.
dewey
Pros: ready to use after a few hours of breaking it in. used nokona nlt glove conditioner on glove. granddaughter loves it.
Cons:
Jules
Pros: I have had 4 different Nokonas over the years. This is by far the best of all. Easy break in but sturdy while being light. I am a DII college softball player and i love this glove!
Cons: NONE
David
Pros: The glove feels great and fits my 15yr old daughters hand very good. The glove is very well made.
Cons: Only con I can think of is the glove is not game ready like some people say but is very close.
CAL
Pros: Tough yet very light for its size. Very comfortable to wear. The cadillac of gloves. I would rate this glove above all others, and it is a plus that it is made in the U.S.A.. You can call the factory direct should you have any issue with this glove. Try that with any other manufacturer. Expensive but worth wearing the best of the best! You always get what you pay for.
Cons: None.
Michele Alberts
Pros: As promised it was ready out of the box, but would recommend at least a few hours of practice before using it in a game. Was hesitant about the price, but needed a glove ASAP after my bag was stolen in a burglary. Took a chance, but felt comfortable with the Nokona reputation. By far my favorite glove ever!! The glove worked great in a tournament 3 days after getting it, played both middle infield spots, center, and two innings at first base in 5 games, no drops, and was confident throughout the weekend! Awesome glove!!!
Cons: none yet, a little pricey, but like my dad says, you get what you pay for...
Softball Dad
Pros: Almost went with the Buckaroo because this was out of stock for so long. Glad we waited. Very soft yet durable feel to the leather. It is almost game ready on arrival . You can really tell the difference in a mediocre glove and a high quality one. We will not be using anything other than Nokona in the future, you get what you pay for with them .
Cons: None, only thing that would make it better is if it came with a glove wrap of some sort to keep it in while not being used...
Baltimore Mike
Pros: It was already broken in.. I bought this glove for a close friend's daughter and she loves it!
Cons: I cannot list any
Blowout..
Pros: Just ordered and what a glove. It is playable right out box.. The glove is very light compared to the banana tan or buffalo combo. This was a huge reason to buy. There is no padding or cloth liner like the buffalo combo, which is a big reason the x2 is lighter. Its so usable right out of box I am worried about durability.. We will see
Cons: Its VERY pricey...
