Customer Reviews
Excellent Youth Glove
This glove really focuses on a child's ability (or lack thereof) to
squeeze the mitt shut when catching, as evidenced by the following
three design points.
It has a four finger design where the pinky finger and its neighbor
share a slot. This aids young, developing fingers in being able to
exert more force on the edge of the glove when closing it around the
ball.
Also, at the two "folding points" on the heel of the glove the
leather gives way to an elastic mesh. This allows more flexibility and
requires less force when closing the glove as compared to all leather.
Finally the leather itself is soft and flexible, especially in the
deep pocket. You don't have to worry about breaking this glove in or
softening it up in order to use it; it is fine from day one.
great beginners glove
this glove is the BEST beginners glove on the market! I bought the
10" for my son when he was 4 and because of the flexibility and
softness of the leather he was able to learn to catch very easily. He
is on the verge of out growing the 10" so i bought him the ZFX 1100
(11") which he'll use next season. I bought 2 more for my daughters.
The key to its flexibility is the elastic material at the heel flex
points - it enables a child to very easily close the mitt. I also used
mink oil to help soften the leather even further - 2 or 3 times each
summer wipe on mink oil and set the glove in the hot sun. This is a
great kids glove, i HIGHLY recommend it.
disappointed with this youth glove
Looking for a better quality glove for our son, we chose the Easton
ZFX1000 glove for our 6 year old. We were disappointed, he had great
difficulty trying to accommodate the 4 fingered design. Not using his
index finger made closing the thick leather glove difficult for him.
Also due to the design, his index finger rested on the back of the
pocket, rubbing against a knot in the leather lacing. It was our
opinion that this might result in a sore. Rather than have him use it,
we decided to just look for another glove.
