Differences between Mizuno World Win/ Mizuno Pro Limited

Postby RedSoxFan81 » August 14th, 2008, 10:05 pm

I am looking into purchasing a mizuno possibly or trading for one. I was trying to find out what the difference was between the Mizuno Pro Limited of a few years back, and the Mizuno World Win gloves? I'm looking from a performance standpoint being that the glove will be used as a game glove.Look forward to your replies.

On the World Wins you need to compare USA made versus Japan made also... My son plays baseball year round competitively and his gamer is a Japan World Win for MIF ( a Pro Preferred for pitching). We have 3 backups that are the same model that he doesn't like as much... So there are differences from glove to glove and how it eventually breaks in...

What size / model is the Japanese world win glove he uses? I play middle infield too.

The Miz Classic Series were good too. The Chipper MCL 5001 is one of my all time faves.

The Japan WWs are some of the best ever made. My GI-12DL (The Creature) I bought off Noah Liberman

MWV-600 11.5" single post, this is the gamer:

On the gamer, the palm has nice thick leather. Glove is so broken in it catches the ball for you. Only problem is a couple of interior finger stalls are wearing out from use and sweat.

A few more comments on these gloves... The leather is such that the fingers are a bit flexible so that ground balls get absorbed and don't bounce out - yet the gloves are not floppy like on cheap gloves. The size is perfect for my hand or my son's hand - you can palm line drives and not have it sting your hand because there is a small space between the glove and the palm of your hand. The glove has to be the right size relative to your hand for this to work.

Ok, how you described your sons glove is exactly what I'm looking for in a glove. That's how I like my game gloves. The 11.5" single post model is definitely the one I want to get. My question is how hard will it be to find one to buy and how much is the going rate for these?
