Nokona gloves are some of the best available in the market today. I've said it before and I'll say it again. They are one of the first brands I'd recommend to any ballplayer or your child if you are a parent. Read below to learn a little more about the different series' available today.

The
Nokona Bloodline gloves are a series that features a specific glove
designed for each position. It uses a variety of leathers from steer,
cow, to kangaroo, and buffalo. It appears, according to their website,
that each glove for each position is made with a different style or
combination of leathers. For example, some positions' gloves are made
of lighter material, and others are made of thicker and a little bit
heavier material. Each glove features a "Custom Tanned" leather and is
given a "CT" number to determine which kind of leather is used in the
glove.
The catcher's and 1st
basemen's models of the Nokona Bloodline gloves are given the name CTX,
which is the sturdier of the materials. The remaining positions are
given a number, such as CT4 or CT5. I don't think that the number has
any relevance to weight. For example, I don't think CT1 is the
lightest, while CT8 is the heaviest. I could be wrong though.
From some of the reviews I've read about the Bloodline Nokona
gloves, they seem to be liked very well among the ballplayers that use
them. One of the common themes among the reviews is that they
break in very quickly. At the time of this writing (April 09') they do
appear to be a bit on the pricy side. All of these models retail in the
$200s. I'd love to check one out if I had the chance,
and if you've got the money, I'd recommend the same for everyone else
based on what I've
heard.

Another series available in the Nokona gloves is
the
Pro Line group of gloves. The Pro Line gloves combine a buckskin lining
with a sandstone outer leather to give it rigidity and toughness. These
gloves are a little more cheap than the Bloodline series, as they
retail for around $100 less. I'd still be happy to steer anyone toward
choosing a Nokona glove, regardless of the model, as I've always been
very impressed with all of the models I've tried on.

The last series of the Nokona ball gloves I'll discuss is the
Kimera line. Kimera is Australian for "mixing of designs."
They use an Australian word because this series features kangaroo
leather as well as cow leather from the Horween Leather Company. They
are lined with the Horween leather, and the kangaroo leather forms the
outer part of the glove. You'll know it's a Kimera model because you'll
see a kangaroo in the palm of the glove. This series has probably been
the most common model of Nokona baseball gloves I've seen out and about
on the fields. All of these gloves are retailing for around $184. If
you've got any experience with any of the Nokona gloves, please let us
know how you like it and leave a review below.
