Pre-broken-in: Yamamoto Glove Studio Pro Essential Hardball Glove, Infield H6 Model

This is a hardball infielder's glove from the "YAMAMOTO Pro Essential" series, which aims to be an essential item for all baseball players.
Mr. Yamamoto, the representative who shapes the gloves of many NPB players, puts his heart and soul into each one before sending them out.

The mold is the popular H6 type.
This model is designed to allow the thumb and pinky finger to naturally meet, centering on the index finger. It is recommended for players who want to firmly pinch with two fingers in the pinky but also want to maintain a solid catching feel without the pocket becoming too deep.
Since the distance from the heel to the base of the index finger is set extremely short, when using it with two fingers in the pinky, it feels just like using a regular glove with five fingers.

The leather used is Dynamic Hard Leather.
It is a leather that provides a firm, rigid feel when catching, while also allowing for dynamic glove opening and closing.

Instead of grease, "rubber adhesive" is used inside the glove.
Using rubber adhesive gives the catching surface tension, resulting in a crisper glove.

The Pro Essential series was developed with the goal of creating a glove that can maintain its "stiffness."
We highly recommend it to players who want a firm, crisp glove.
