Pros: In my playing career, I've used 'em all... from the Rawlings Pro Preferred, to the Wilson A2K, to the Nokona Pro Line. This Mizuno beats them all. Excellent quality leather, nice deep pocket, firm outer edges to help reel in the off-line picks. Great design that allows for excellent control. Not quite as light as an A2K, but not too heavy by any means. This is actually the game day mitt of Todd Helton, who has a couple Gold Gloves under his belt. All in all, an outstanding value for the money.
Cons: Not a con, really, but expect to spend a fair amount of time breaking this mitt in...but once you do, it's worth it. It's pro-quality leather and therefore somewhat stiff. Mine was, but I've seen other GXF22s in stores that were a bit softer than mine.

by big Tom from mn - Apr 16, 2008
Pros: Great 1 baggers mitt, have had mine for about 3 years now, they have changed the logos on it is all. Mine was very stiff when I first got it 3 years ago, but have it perfect now. I have large hands and fits pretty big. 4 stars is what I have to give
Cons: not that much padding in the palm
by hhhheeeeyyyyoooo - Oct 18, 2010
Pros: Its a good glove, but the leather in the palm is really thin! whenever you catch a ball in the palm ( and i know that you arent supposed to at first base), there is a tremendous amount of sting. A good glove for the money though.
Cons:
by kdog444 - May 04, 2008
Pros: awesome glove i like the webing and it feels like you can catch everything with it great glove it also fits your hand nicely
Cons: a little hard to break in at first but after that its perfect
by 1stBaseRobo - Jun 18, 2008
Pros: Great feel for a 13". Opens wide for a huge target. Very well made. Leather feels great once broken in and doesn't feel heavy.
Cons: Takes a good 2 weeks to make playable and 4 weeks more for it to be game worthy but what did you expect? It is a pro glove.
by anonymous - Jun 23, 2008
Pros: after using rawlings products my entire life the first thing i noticed was the 3d technology with this glove when playing first base its all about hand postition in the glove this glove gets the job done and because of the hand position some of those off center grabs don't sting at all.
Cons: takes a little more time to break in then the rawlings models i have used...
by d-het - Mar 28, 2011
Pros: I've used this glove for four games now and am very happy with it. Break in time was appropriate for a glove in this range. Great deal all the way around.
Cons: None.
by Kup - May 05, 2012
Pros: Lightweight; the stiffness is not bad in a firstbase glove because a ball going in tends to stay in. Seems to begin the "break in" process right away with use. Sharp looking glove. Came very well-oiled. Rec'd quickly after order.
Cons: Very little padding---not a problem for some players, could be for others.

Pros: great glove for serious play
Cons: a little small for a grown man

Ask QuestionWhat is the difference between this glove and the mizuno global elite 1st base glove? They look the same and they are the same size and about the same size
Asked by baseball4life on Nov 03, 2011
This glove will be a little more stiff than the Global Series. Both of those gloves are very durable and will hope their shape.

whats the diferance between this one and the Louisville Slugger TPX Pro Flare Series: FLFB First Base Mitt?
Asked by chsbaseball22 on Aug 09, 2011
The biggest difference is going to be the leather that is used in the glove. The GXF22 is going to use natural leather from the USA and the FLFB uses oil-infused horween leather. The FLFB will take a little longer to break in. The Gxf22 will have a little more padding in the glove.
· Aug 09, 2011
The Mizuno GXF22 is made with a softer leather. The Louisville FLFB is made with leather that is stronger and a little more durable. The GXF22 will be much easier to break in. The FLFB also feature a flare design where the top of the thumb flares outwards to create a larger catching surface.

I have very large hands and I assume the 13 inch size is basically the biggest...how do I measure my old glove...which I think is the same as this Mizuno? I play softball and this glove is excellent for the size of the ball.
Asked by Hondo on Feb 14, 2011
Gloves are measured by starting at the top of the index finger of the glove down the finger along the inside of the pocket and then to the heal of the glove. A flexible tape measure has to be used, not a stiff ruler. Measure from the highest point on the glove (normally the index finger). Lay the tape measure across the palm of the glove, so that it follows the folds and contour of the glove, then down to the heel of the glove.

Is this glove more often used for baseball or men's softball? I am in need for a men's softball 1st base mit. Suggestions?
Asked by Feazlenut20 on Feb 09, 2011
This glove can be used for either, but it's more commonly used in baseball. This would work for slow pitch softball though. I wouldn't recommend anything under 13 inches for slow pitch softball.
