Review: Mizuno Prime Elite 33.5" Baseball Catcher's Mitt (GPE-335C)

[@stevennihipali3607]

I want a job working at this place... how sweet would it be to work as the expert in gloves and selling each brand or glove to a player/ coach and knowing what you're talking about. Literally, get paid to throw a ball and play catch in order to know what you're talking about

Is it okay to use it for fastpitch softball?

[@JustGloves]

Thanks for the message. You could definitely use the mitt for fastpitch, but it might not be as optimal as a fastpitch catcher's mitt. Fastpitch mitts have less-pronounced thumb and pinky padding and allow the mitt to receive the larger ball with more ease. If this is for a dad trying to catch his daughter's pitching, be sure to read this blog we put up last year on the topic: www.justballgloves.com/blog/post/fastpitch-catchers-mitt-for-dad/

What is the total weight of the glove

[@JustGloves]

Ooooooh. We did not get a weight on the mitt. It does have a little bit of the perforated leather on the thumb and pinky (as Ben mentioned in the video). Because of that, I definitely don't think it will feel especially heavy. Sorry I do not have an exact answer though. How old is the player for whom you are buying?

[@JustGloves]

@@tonyoddo9522 At 13 years old, I do not think he should have trouble holding up the glove to set a target. If he was a little younger, I would be worried, but he should have the strength to hold it up at 13. If you weren't super confident and wanted some insurance with the purchase, you could pay the extra 30 bucks for the Glove Assurance program. With that extra $30, you will get a 100 day trial period with the glove. If you don't like the glove after using it for 100 days and you've paid for that program, you can send it back for a refund. This program covers any type of use (games and practice) and even covers the glove if you oil it!
