Amazon.com Item Description:
Ideal for the casual player or aspiring professional, the Mizuno Classic Pro GXF22 12.5-inch first-base mitt offers unmatched protection, fit, and performance. The glove hails from Mizuno's Classic Pro line, which the company created after extensively researching the dynamics of catching. Using input from some of the best defensive players in professional baseball, Mizuno crafted this series of ball gloves to deliver the ultimate in performance for each position. The technology, called 3D, customizes the glove's ball pockets and internal reinforcements to accommodate the way each positional player catches the ball. This allows for greater grip strength and energy transfer, helping the player confidently secure the catch and switch the ball from the glove hand to the throwing hand.

Classic Pro gloves are more than just functional, with a new coffee leather construction that's naturally tanned in the U.S. for unsurpassed control and feel. The gloves also employ Deerskin Parafit technology to ensure the best fit, feel, and craftsmanship in a pro-level glove. Outfitted with a WMV300 web, the GFX22 first-base glove and its siblings are worn by such major leaguers as Todd Helton, Ichiro Suzuki, Chipper Jones, and Miguel Tejada.

Customer Rating: - Mizuno does it again
I've owned a Rawlings Gold Glove 1B mitt since 2003 and have loved it. I needed a new glove & was going to buy another Rawlings, but my infield glove is a Mizuno (I love it), so I thought I'd try a Mizuno 1B mitt. I put one of these on at a store to get a basic feel & I was impressed. When I saw the price tag on Amazon, I jumped at the opportunity. I've only played catch with it twice, but I already am a fan of this mitt. The stiff leather allows you to break in the glove exactly how you want it, and not have to worry about a softer leather mitt not hold shape. The pocket feels very deep and seems as though scooping balls will be easier with this mitt than with other mitts with a more shallow pocket feel. I have never been disappointed in a Mizuno product, and this one appears to be another winner.

Customer Rating: - Baseball first base mitt.
Very disappointed that a seam has already started coming lose and I haven't broke it in enough to use it at a game. However, besides the seam issue, the glove is great.
