My oldest daughter loves her mizuno. I think she got it in the 8th grade and play all through high school with it and now plays college ball with the same glove. But one of the other girls on her tournament team got a little cheaper mizuno model and it didn't last at all. Most of the other girls used either nokona or glovesmith. I think the glovesmith was a better glove. You have to order them so it takes a little longer. If you are in CS the only place I know of to get one is Rick's Sporting Goods. They are about the same price as a nakona. Rick's daughter is a pitcher for the Aggie softball team.
