Found this glove and AI started out telling me it was a Rawlings made for Japanese hardball “Koushiki” and then moved on to it’s a high quality Japanese boutique glove and is worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $500 or more.
Im heading to Japan next year. I've got a $1k-1,500 glove budget (lol) what should I look out for? Looking to get atleast one catchers mitt, one OF and atleast one or two Infield mitts.
I didn’t hate the originals, but the new laces practically glow! We just got to the off-season and I just went with the aqua on a whim after doing a full clean. I love the look!
I got tired of 99% of my gloves having tan laces 🤣 so I relaced this guy with a deep brownish maroon. I think it’s subtle yet so classy with the black. Oh and the X spiral on the web too 😮💨 What do you guys think?
Broke this one in about a year ago and was never 100% happy with the shape. I had recently done what I thought was the same Mizuno Pro, so I kept trying to force a similar shape on her.
It looked great, but something felt off. Finally realized this pattern wanted a wider heel and shallower pocket, much closer to a TT2.
Japanese Mizuno Pros don’t have the pattern stamped on them, so sometimes you’re guessing what you’re working with.
Anyway I stopped fighting the glove and let the pattern tell me what she wanted. Every glove I break in teaches me something new!
Now it’s right.
Reach out if interested. TYIA
