 Great for 8 yrs old April 9, 2010

I bought this for my daughter and she really likes it. The glove does not have open knuckles like the image shows so be aware of that. When we tried another smaller glove at the store yesterday my daughter did not like that one at all and was happy that we had purchased the Mizuno. The material is soft and pliable, yet gives enough cushion to not harm her hand when catching the ball.
Great glove March 16, 2010

Bought this glove for $30.00. It is well worth the money. It does not require any break in time due to the hinged bottom on the glove. It does have a hole for the index finger, but that is fine with my 7yr old son. I would highly recommend this. My older son wants on too!
Great 7 - 8 year old glove March 8, 2010

My son plays in the Pony League and moved up from Shetland (5-6) to Pinto (7-8). He outgrew his starter 10" glove and needed a larger glove. I researched sizes and read numerous opinions online. The recommended sizes for a 7 year old generally ranged from 10.5 to 11. I took a hard look at the 10.5 and decided against it, since the half inch was barely noticable. I also looked at the 10.75 glove, which seemed perfect. However my son is a leftie and plays 1st base. A larger (11 inch) glove gives him more catching range. I bought the 11 and worked with him in the preseason to strengthen his hand and get used to the larger glove. He's now 3 months into the season and playing great ball at 1st.
This Mizuno glove is great. Mizuno really put alot of thought in designing this glove for kids. It uses pigskin, which is soft and comes broken in. It also has improvement aides like the notch in the palm and a half lace pocket, which aid in the closing the glove easier to secure the ball. Finally, its light weight which reduces fatigue and quicken catching motions. I compared a number of gloves and this glove had the best features, is better suited for a 7 - 8 year old and had a great price.
Do your own homework before purchasing a glove, because this single piece of equipment has a large impact on your child's baseball experience. Lastly get out and have fun playing catch with your child!
Great starter glove for a young baseball player! January 5, 2010

My 7yo son is interested in baseball, although he's never played organized baseball before. For Christmas, I bought him a few baseball essentials -- balls, a bat, and this glove. Thanks to Amazon reviewers, this turned out to be a terrific choice!
The glove fits well in his hand, and it's comfortable. More importantly, although he's never played a game of catch with a baseball glove before, he was able to catch a few of the balls I tossed towards him -- in the glove-up position! That really encouraged him a lot.
As others have noted, there is no break-in period needed to begin using this glove -- it snaps shut, even when little hands are controlling it.
In case you don't know any better, buying a glove for a right-handed thrower means that the glove is for a right-handed child, so the glove is actually worn on the *left* hand. The opposite is true when buying a glove for a left-handed thrower. I think I would have confused myself when I ordered this product had I thought too deeply about what I was buying. My son is right-handed, so I just picked a right-handed thrower's glove, and was very happy to open the box and realize that the glove would be worn on my son's *left* hand.
