How To Easily Buy Japanese Baseball Gloves 

This is crazy to see as a 20 year old down to his last few years of baseball in college. I grew up with the gloves kids today call “vintage”. The KP92 was so big in the outfield for the longest time, 1786 with single X lacing (yes they used to make them that way) was on everyone’s hand. I remember when the DatDude (now 1720) was “state of the art” and Pedroia fit was some outlandish thing. Those gloves transitioned us to these thicker, ultra comfortable with perfect round shape gloves we see in modern A2Ks and PPs. This video marks a shift in baseball that the glove community has been embracing these last couple years to the thin, boxy, straight, squared off Japanese gloves. It’s crazy that this is going to start being the new normal. I see Wilson bringing their Wilson Staffs as more than a limited run in the US. I see Rawlings making their Japanese HoH models in hard ball versions. I see mizuno becoming more popular. I see small brands like Jax, atoms, and Zett blowing up in the American market. This video is the future. It is the transition point. Mark my words

so happy you love them Chris!! thanks for another quality review. the best in the biz for sure

Love this review can’t wait for the outfield review

Awsome gloves and content. Thanks!

Would love to see a Zett review!! I just bought for my son. As soon as I put it on in the store… I was wishing I was still playing and not coaching! Haha beautiful pieces of work!

Got a Yabai glove from your review on it off there website…thing is amazing up there with my Rawlings pro preferred

I just bought a Kubota slugger Japan glove And I love it the break in is soooooo nice .I also bought a Virginia glove it is sick you should make a video on them⚾

Thoughts on SSK gloves?

I got the Jax CB-3 and my god the break in was just absolute money. Can’t wait to game it.

Love your videos, can you review a Vinci glove? I want to know if they are any good before I buy one.

Would the dm5 be comparable to the oa1 model and if so which one would be the better buy. BTW absolutely love the content keep it up❤❤

You listened. Thank you for buying a wagyu jb. I can’t wait for the review. Thinking about getting a pitchers glove. But I’m waiting on the review from you.

Any experience with SSK gloves? Wondering if the Z5 Craftsman is a good budget glove.

hey, can you please talk about will smith's catcher mitt and how he wears it. He's my favorite player. love the vids btw.

Could you review the outfield en7 model and the d33 Wilson a2000? They say it’s a infield pitcher glove just wanted to find out more about it!

Anyway I could buy that dm5s from you love the break in

Can you please review the Hallowed glove company I wanna know if their gloves are good or not before I get one

@ballgloveking can you test the Frankling ctz5000?

what do you use to keep the gloves on the wall?

Could you do a review of the Japanese Wilson models? There are a few models that are only available in Japan so it would be cool to compare them with American Wilson models imo

I’m sure have answered this question in the past, but what mounts do you use to hold up your gloves on your glove wall in your office?

Would the dm5 be higher on the list as am 11. 5? Or does that not make a difference? Also can't find the Jax glove review video.

hey ballgloveking i have a catchers mitt im breaking in but i squeeze it thum to middle finger i know a catchers mitt is supposed to close thum to pinky any advice maybe im squeezing wrong?

Can you review the Rawlings hypertech from Japan?

Should I flare the thumb of my baseball glove near the top or the bottom?

Have you tried any warstic gloves? I knew they made bats, but evidently they make gloves too. Seem pretty nice.

Can you see if you can do Rico custom gloves?

you gotta review the Rawlings 217 pattern, I personally love it.

First actually thanks for the hart your my favorite baseball RU-vidr

Hey I sent my glove in can’t wait too get it back

I’m getting a new glove for next year I will be going into my freshman year and I’m stuck between a 1786 spin control vs non spin control which should I get

Review the ssk Zpro plzzzzz

You should do a video of breaking in every pro 44 catchers glove

What is the best web for an infield glove?

Hey, I need a very stiff or stiff lefty outfield glove for a 13-year-old. Do you know any?

Just wish to watch a compare rawlings & wilson american vs japanese

How many 11.25 gloves do you have, are they recommended

Do you own Midwest sports training

Question for your break in service. Can you break in a glove into a Japanese wide break in as you do in the video?

What is the difference between rolled fingers and straight fingers?

This is funny I literally have winter training there. My team is North Aurora storm AA 13 U if you want to come see one of our games.

Where do you buy Jax glove? Ordered a Wilson teddy bear from Japan for my son and it was a really tough break-in. Still having a few issues with the ball popping out. For some reason.

Ssk ZPRO Review plzzzzzz

What would be the best place to dm you about a possible new glove to put on your list

Hi, got me a Japanese HOH OF glove vs my American made HOH OF. IMHO, Japanese glove is so much lighter. In my rec SPSL. I use my American HOH, for tourney’s SPS. I use my Japanese HOH. Enjoyed the video.

Was looking at the Jax website, but couldn’t find an en 7 in 12.5…. Is the one you reviewed in this video a 12.75?

Softball request! Could you review the Miken player AND pro series gloves? Not many of them on RU-vid at all.

What’s you favorite 44 pro model for 3rd base?

I would of taken out the Wilson a2000 cause I just like Rawlings more and I think there better.

is z9 on the list?

I cannot find the EN-7 in that color way anywhere.

I put glove break in oil and it left a stain in it, any tips on how to get it out? Please help!

Thoughts on SSK Z9 Maestro catchers glove???

How come they took off the heart of hide from the middle infield on the website

1810 or Bryce Harper model?

do we know what Japanese factory is making Jax?

Does the A2K not count as a Japanese glove? I guess more like a US glove made in Japan?

Your my glove idol I love your videos

Does the palm make your hand turn red?

Have you tried JL XX Stock?

Pro 200s worn by MLB infielders, and tons of A2000s worn by MLB infielders, more than A2Ks? Are you saying your glove list is now for youth players?

Review the "Home Plate" branded gloves on Temu.
