Mizuno Franchise Series Softball Glove

The Franchise Series features a pre-oiled, full-grain leather shell designed to be game-ready right out of the box. While you may want to spend a little time shaping it to your preference, the leather is soft and flexible enough for immediate use.

The PowerLock system allows for a highly adjustable, secure fit around your wrist. It is designed to keep the glove stable during play, which is particularly helpful for female athletes who need a more customized, snug feel to prevent the glove from slipping.

The Double Hinge Heel creates a wider, more centered pocket. This design helps outfielders secure fly balls more easily by providing a larger surface area to catch the ball, making it more forgiving on balls that aren't caught perfectly in the center.

Yes, the Parashock+ Palm Pad is specifically engineered to absorb impact energy. It provides an extra layer of protection in the palm, which significantly dampens the sting often felt when catching hard-hit balls.

Yes, this glove is built for fastpitch softball. At 12.5 inches, it offers the length and pocket depth required for outfield play, while the overall construction is tailored to the specific needs and hand sizes of female athletes.
