You people would be SURPRISED if I told you how they were making gloves in the Mass plant. Blew me over. Well...state of art and art of the state.
On the soft vs. hard. Soft breaks down quicker. Nokona's buff and kangy
soft of course, Kangy stretchy. Harder leather, longer to break in but lasts longer.
We call it the three bears story on glove leather, too soft, too hard, just right. I ran into this all the time selling gloves via mail or on ebay. Flat pictures don't tell you how the glove's gonna feel on the hand.
Hope this helps.

Hope the quality doesn't suffer because of the new/increased production. I spoke with a Nokona dealer a few weeks ago, and he indicated that they were selling every glove they could make at the Texas factory, and could not keep up with demand. I know they are finally getting some respect and popularity with men's softball. Now I am not the only one out there touting them.
