Nokona Walnut Softball Series: WS1300C

Pros: One of the finest gloves available, top notch, you will never want to buy another glove, you will not be disappointed

Cons: needs some good break in time, so allow for this.

Pros: I have a version of this glove made with Kangaroo leather on the back. It is a beautiful glove and extremely well made. Plays wonderfully. You never have to worry about a hard-hit ball bending the glove back. I love it when people see it. They've never heard of it but are immediately impressed. I love that it is American made.

Cons: No matter how many times you read how stiff this glove is, it will shock you when you pull it out of the box. Take this as a sign of quality. You get the feeling that it is all but indestructible. One issue: My hand gets rather sweaty. If I had to do again, I would choose a pattern with an open back. But it would be a Nokona.

Pros: There is certainly a hand-made feel with Nokona. This is the glove I used as a player, and now as a coach it does me good to see my players wearing and taking pride in it. And that's why I still use Nokona. It's simply a quality product, and you can tell from the first moment you hold it.

Cons: With this high grade leather it's going to be a battle to break in. But it's worth the love, affection and time to get it there.

Pros: Durable as all get out. Great feel and phenomenal control. I play in a couple of leagues and this is my gamer for all of them. It took some real work to break in, but once you get it right, it feels like part of your body. Easily the most natural feeling glove I’ve ever played with. Prior to Nokona I’ve have an A2K and HOTH, this blows them both away. I’m in my fourth year with it and the pocket and heel are soft and responsive but the bridge and hinge are firm.

Cons: Wee bit heavy Break in / Break in / Break in I picked it up late season and played catch all winter and I STILL had to make trips to the batting cage to catch balls off a machine before the season started. Stay away from glove treatments. I called them and they said it’s treated at the factory and they recommend you break it in the old fashioned way or risk wearing out the parts that should be stiff. Treat it with Nokona glove oil once a year and you should be OK.

Pros: The most awesome glove I've ever used. I play 1B with this glove and never drop a ball. Well padded, perfect leather,durable,holds a perfect shape. Best glove for the money by far.

Cons: I cannot find anything wrong with this glove besides the break in time. It will take several practices to break in.

Pros: This is absolutely and by far the best glove I've ever used. The craftmanship, the quality, the performance, all are unsurpassed...I'm very surprised I don't see this manufacturer in the MLB more often! You will be extremely satisfied with this product! This will prove to be the last glove I ever use...awesome...love it!...

Cons: It's true the break-in time is longer for this glove but extremely worth the effort and the money spent...

Pros: Great glove, can't wait till its fully broken in. I've had lots of compliments ... and had to wipe off a little drool after showing it to the guys! :)

Cons: None ... people say it stiff ... this is a good thing.

Pros: Beautiful Glove, Well made, Unbeatable Quality

Cons: none

Pros: the glove is amazing, i use it for baseball and softball. i coach and the kids who borrow it want to know where i got it from.

Cons: the glove takes sometime to break in but when it is broken in it is amazing. there isnt enough padding in the palm area. be careful when using the break in mallet it will bruise your hand.

Pros: Love this glove! Sounds silly, but am as excited about this glove as I was when I got my first glove many, many years ago!

Cons: Not really a con, but this thing takes some time to break in.

Pros: It a nokona. Enough said

Cons: Yea right.

Pros: To say this glove is stiff out of the box is an understatement. With some Nokona glove conditioner worked in by hand, a ball in the pocket, some rubber bands and a mallet, this glove is ready to go in a week.

Cons: Have not found any yet.

Pros: Great quality leather. Nice stamping and well oiled out of the plastic. Not quite broken in yet after 1 week. Will take some TLC to break inn you way. best fitting glove to my hand I have ever had. Would reccomend to anyone that wants a glove to pass down to you rkids one day and play with for a long time!

Cons: If you don't know how to properly break in a glove after watching the video here. Please take to your local professional shop and have them help you. Nokona reccomends their conditioning oil not sold on this website. FYI... DO NOT OVER OIL
