Ready to Use Glove! Soft with already broken in feel, great glove!
My son used it in a game the day after he received it. I was really buying it for next year, because he already had a well broken in glove this year but was needing to get a bigger size for next year. His hands are really small so he had been using a WIlson Pro Series 10 1/2" soft leather glove for Machine Pitch and it just wasn't cutting it because it was so...

Don't trust the picture
In general, I like these little Mizuno gloves. They're highly flexible and lightweight and nearly perfect for younger players. My beef with this particular glove is the difference between the glove's description and its picture. I ordered this particular model for my 7-year-old because of its open back. I do not like the finger slot and would not have ordered this glove...

Ready to Use Glove! Soft with already broken in feel, great glove!, July 20, 2008
This review is from: Mizuno Prospect Series GPP1101 Youth Baseball Glove (11-Inch) (Sports)
My son used it in a game the day after he received it. I was really buying it for next year, because he already had a well broken in glove this year but was needing to get a bigger size for next year. His hands are really small so he had been using a WIlson Pro Series 10 1/2" soft leather glove for Machine Pitch and it just wasn't cutting it because it was so short/small for catching. I could never find a 11" glove that fit him right that he could actually close comfortably and with skill. But this GLOVE WAS PERFECT for him it was quite a bit larger than his other glove he had NO trouble closing and catching balls with it. Made a Huge difference for him! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GLOVE and I've order another 1 for my other son. It's hard to find a high quality glove like this at a great price. But this is one of the best! VERY SOFT LEATHER, EASY CLOSE!

Don't trust the picture, April 12, 2009
In general, I like these little Mizuno gloves. They're highly flexible and lightweight and nearly perfect for younger players. My beef with this particular glove is the difference between the glove's description and its picture. I ordered this particular model for my 7-year-old because of its open back. I do not like the finger slot and would not have ordered this glove if I had known that it has a finger-slot back. Unfortunately, I paid too much attention to the picture (which is open-backed) instead of the description (which describes it as having a finger-slot back). Again, these Mizuno gloves are great, and my kids have had two before this one. Just make sure you're ordering what you mean to order; I wish I had.

Great Glove, May 31, 2008
I bought this for my 8 year old son. This is the second Mizuno glove I bought for him. The glove is soft and ready to go right from the start. No break in period is necessary. Mizuno puts a notch in the glove where it creases and that eliminates the stiffness that you would normally need to spend time breaking in.
The build quality is excellent for this prince range. I'm sure my son will outgrow the glove before he wears it out.

Great for 8 yrs old, April 9, 2010
This review is from: Mizuno Prospect Series GPP1101 Youth Baseball Glove (11-Inch) (Sports)
I bought this for my daughter and she really likes it. The glove does not have open knuckles like the image shows so be aware of that. When we tried another smaller glove at the store yesterday my daughter did not like that one at all and was happy that we had purchased the Mizuno. The material is soft and pliable, yet gives enough cushion to not harm her hand when catching the ball.

Great glove, March 16, 2010
This review is from: Mizuno Prospect Series GPP1101 Youth Baseball Glove (11-Inch) (Sports)
Bought this glove for $30.00. It is well worth the money. It does not require any break in time due to the hinged bottom on the glove. It does have a hole for the index finger, but that is fine with my 7yr old son. I would highly recommend this. My older son wants on too!

Great 7 - 8 year old glove, March 8, 2010
My son plays in the Pony League and moved up from Shetland (5-6) to Pinto (7-8). He outgrew his starter 10" glove and needed a larger glove. I researched sizes and read numerous opinions online. The recommended sizes for a 7 year old generally ranged from 10.5 to 11. I took a hard look at the 10.5 and decided against it, since the half inch was barely noticable. I also looked at the 10.75 glove, which seemed perfect. However my son is a leftie and plays 1st base. A larger (11 inch) glove gives him more catching range. I bought the 11 and worked with him in the preseason to strengthen his hand and get used to the larger glove. He's now 3 months into the season and playing great ball at 1st.
This Mizuno glove is great. Mizuno really put alot of thought in designing this glove for kids. It uses pigskin, which is soft and comes broken in. It also has improvement aides like the notch in the palm and a half lace pocket, which aid in the closing the glove easier to secure the ball. Finally, its light weight which reduces fatigue and quicken catching motions. I compared a number of gloves and this glove had the best features, is better suited for a 7 - 8 year old and had a great price.
Do your own homework before purchasing a glove, because this single piece of equipment has a large impact on your child's baseball experience. Lastly get out and have fun playing catch with your child!

Great starter glove for a young baseball player!, January 5, 2010
My 7yo son is interested in baseball, although he's never played organized baseball before. For Christmas, I bought him a few baseball essentials -- balls, a bat, and this glove. Thanks to Amazon reviewers, this turned out to be a terrific choice!
The glove fits well in his hand, and it's comfortable. More importantly, although he's never played a game of catch with a baseball glove before, he was able to catch a few of the balls I tossed towards him -- in the glove-up position! That really encouraged him a lot.
As others have noted, there is no break-in period needed to begin using this glove -- it snaps shut, even when little hands are controlling it.
In case you don't know any better, buying a glove for a right-handed thrower means that the glove is for a right-handed child, so the glove is actually worn on the *left* hand. The opposite is true when buying a glove for a left-handed thrower. I think I would have confused myself when I ordered this product had I thought too deeply about what I was buying. My son is right-handed, so I just picked a right-handed thrower's glove, and was very happy to open the box and realize that the glove would be worn on my son's *left* hand.
