Most HOH gloves are steerhide.Is the leather quality the only difference between the pro 1000 and other heart of the hides or are all of them horween?

The large majority of all true HOH baseball gloves are Japanese Tanned (Jtan) Steerhide leather. Horween isn't a "leather" per se, Horween is actually the name of the Tannery in Chicago Illinois that has turned out some of the best baseball glove Steerhide leather ever!Is the leather quality the only difference between the pro 1000 and other heart of the hides or are all of them horween?
That was absolutely no fun to read, Boo!Most HOH gloves are steerhide.
Sorry. I'll crawl back in my hole now.That was absolutely no fun to read, Boo!
Ha mom doesn't play she just liked the feel of the Nokona.
I would not get the Nokona walnut. first of all, it's $400. the A2000s/HoHs are better value at around/sub $300. secondly, it's very broken in out of the box, but will get very floppy very quickly, won't hold up to the heavy softball coming hard. my DD has the A2000 H12 for MIF and 3B and loves it. 12 inch. have to break it in correctly and takes time to do so (don't squeeze it!) but will last.Definitely not in the same ball park. The whole thing started when I saw a 12" Nokona Walnut at Dicks Sporting Goods and mentioned to her mom that maybe she needs a smaller glove. Her mom tried it on and fell in love. Of course the 13yo doesn't like brown so we started looking at other brands and styles.
JOND is right, the Walnut leather Nokona's are a POS! Yep, I said it!I would not get the Nokona walnut. first of all, it's $400. the A2000s/HoHs are better value at around/sub $300. secondly, it's very broken in out of the box, but will get very floppy very quickly, won't hold up to the heavy softball coming hard. my DD has the A2000 H12 for MIF and 3B and loves it. 12 inch. have to break it in correctly and takes time to do so (don't squeeze it!) but will last.
