Has anyone seen the glove steamer that Mizuno is putting out at store? After a glove is in the steamer for 5 minutes it is game ready. It is really pretty cool.

What do you think makes a Nokona such a great quality?

I personally dont like super stiff gloves that take years to break in..id rather have a mizuno mvp leather which i think is just as good a quality but you can actually play with it when you buy it.

And yes the steamer works miracles on Nokona gloves…even gloves that are a few years old that people could never get broken in.

I think Miken makes all their stuff in the USA, i know bats but im not 100% on the gloves.

Well they definately dont make equipment like they used to..

 

Everything now is made so you will have it for a while but wears out when the new styles come out.  You know that typical consumer wants the newest latest greatest thing there is on the market.

 

I prefer a Mizuno glove, because they are softer and easier to break-in in my opinion.

 

What does anyone else think?  What is your favorite type of glove?

I believe mizuno has a glove steamer at softballjunk.com.  I went there the time they had Ian Kinsler signing autographs and mizuno was there steaming gloves, but i think they left if for the store to use.

 

How much is it? Does anyone know?

I took my kids to get their gloves steamed not long ago – I believe that it was $15 a glove, and that you get up to 3 turns in the steamer while you are in the store. It worked really well, and my daughter used her new glove the next day in a game.

The Nokona gloves are not made exclusively in the USA. And saying that you can not get a good glove, that is the quality or better of a Nokana, that is foreign made is a huge assumption. I'm not saying Nokona gloves are't good, but to say that they are undoubtly better than foreign made gloves, some even in the same price range, is a false statement. As for other good 'made in the usa' gloves you have GloveSmith, and several others.
