BRAND NEW W/TAGS MIZUNO CLASSIC GCF 1175 FASTPITCH SOFTBALL GLOVE - 11.75" LH (Left Hand Throw)
This glove is very soft and will require very little break-in time. Picture #2 shows a regulation sized softball so that you can get a better feel for the size of the glove. This glove has a very deep pocket and this glove runs much bigger than a typical 11.75" glove. This is very evident when looking at the softball in the pocket in Pic #2.
NOTE: Any discoloration in the listed pictures is the result of camera flash. The glove is totally uniform in color and flawless in every respect!
The ALL NEW Classic Fastpitch Series is the class of the fastpitch mitts. If you want the top of the line in a pattern designed specifically for fastpitch then look no farther. The GCF series from Mizuno is crafted of only the most select leathers form each hide. These leathers are formed to specifically fit the female hand with web size designed for fastpitch size balls. A deerskin palm liner has been added for the ultimate in softness and long lasting durability. Each Mizuno Pro ball glove is handcrafted to the highest quality control standards by certified Mizuno Glove Technicians in Mizunos own ISO9001 certified facility in Shanghai, China. All glove craftsmen have been through a rigorous certification process overseen by Master Craftsmen Kosaku Kishumoto (fielders gloves) and Kuni Nakamura (mitts) who together have over 65 years of experience making ball gloves.
FEATURES:
NOTE: There's no doubt that I will be fielding many questions from individuals who want to know if this glove will fit a male hand. These gloves are sized somewhat smaller in the wrist and finger stalls. However, I'm am a 5"9" male weighing 175 pounds with average sized hands and these gloves fit my hand just fine.
TIP: Many of the higher-end premium gloves produced by Rawlings, Wilson, Mizuno, etc. have inner pockets that are pre-oiled at the factory. There is a tendency for the oil to bleed through (particularly on the lighter tan and brown colored gloves) and it is not uncommon to see what appears to be an oil stain of varying degree in the palm area of these gloves. I have received gloves in the past that arrived without any evidence of oil and within months, the oil bleeds through into the palm. Personally, I would not let this condition deter one from buying a glove. Many of the gloves ordered off of "stock"pictures on the internet will end up having this condition. TIP: Many of the premium gloves including Rawlings Pro Preferred & Heart of the Hide, Wilson's A2000 & A3000, Mizuno's Classic Pro and Pro Limited, etc. are somewhat stiff when brand new. A quality glove conditioner will do much to reduce the break-in period for any stiff new glove . Almost all glove conditioners will generally darken the leather and appearance of lighter colored gloves. If you buy a new glove and don't like the look of the pre-oiled palm area, condition the glove with a premium product such as Wilson's Pro Stock Glove Conditioner and the pocket/palm area will darken and blend in more with the rest of the glove. TIP: Regardless of whether you prefer the natural method of breaking in a glove, sooner or later you will have to recondition your glove! Personally, I recommend cleaning and conditioning a glove each and every year after a good season of use. All leather gloves will start to dry out and laces will become brittle when subjected to regular use. Prolonged exposure to sand and dirt, wind, rain, hot sun, etc. will take its toll on even the very best glove. PLEASE stay away from those cheap oils, foams or other liquid products out there on the market. The foams don't work and liquids such as oils are absorbed deep into the glove, add a tremendous amount of weight, and are nothing more than a magnet for attracting dirt and debris. Also, PLEASE don't ever bake your baseball glove in the oven or microwave or soak it in the tub to aid in the break-in process. You will invariably destroy a very fine piece of leather and take years off a gloves life! Personally, I never use anything but a paste type glove conditioner. Although I prefer Wilson Pro Stock Glove Conditioner, there are comparable products on the market from manufacturers such as Easton, Nokona, etc. Regardless of what brand of paste type conditioner you choose to use, do yourself a favor and make sure it contains lanolin and vitamin E. Nothing is better at restoring and revitalizing the leather on your glove! With a little care, your glove should last for many years and most likely outlive your baseball career.
