Franklin Sports Baseball and Softball Glove - Field Master - Baseball and Softball Mitt

When my 12 year old son wanted to try out baseball, I didn't want to get an exorbitant mitt so got this as a cheap, entry level glove. It's so good that I actually bought myself one immediately after we received it! The ball sticks well into the glove - it did advertise that it didn't need breaking in but I'd been sceptical.I see it comes in many sizes - we both got 12.5 as he's got a very big 12 year old hand and I have a very big but slim lady's hand. The thumb part adjusts well with velcro to tighten and loosen so you've got a fair bit of leeway in the size for growing room- it won't fall off if too big if you tighten the thumb loop. It is fake leather so gets sweaty quickly but is doing the job well so far with good sticking power.

Exactly what I wanted, color and style. I didn't need an expensive glove. I needed a second glove to make it easier to talk people into a little catch. This glove is perfectly fine for general yard catch or a recreational game with friends. I've had my other glove almost 25 years and it is in great shape but the inner lining is flaking/desintergrating very badly. I just wanted this and am very pleased. I was able to open and close it fairly easy right away.It is indeed easy to use immediately. No break in time...no oiling. It has a decent feel to it. If I had touched it before buying I really might have thought it is leather. The material is much better than I expected. I assume if a person is against leather this would be CLOSE to a vegan product as possible. I'm pretty sure it is all a type of pleather. I've never had a non leather glove and was interested.I just liked how it looked and it suits my needs and was inexpensive. I could have gotten a "better quality" USED glove but I would rather have new and decent than something sweaty, dry rotted and or stinky. No need for that when this is perfectly good. Even great.This glove has NO odor at all that I can tell. You won't get the leather glove smell of course...but there is no strange odor either.Comfortable, functional, great looking and super affordable. I recommend it to anyone playing recreationally. I chose the softball size glove because I didn't have a dedicated 14" softball glove. I plan to just use this with friends and family or chunking a rubber ball off the side of the garage.Very pleased, worth the money

This glove is good quality and fits my hand perfectly. I'm very pleased.

I am a beginner slo pitch player and this glove is a perfect fit! It is advertised as quick to break in… it took me a couple days to break it in!
