The JAX DM-5: Japanese Pattern for Middle Infielders
Description: The JAX DM-5 is a wide, Japanese-pattern infield glove that is slightly deeper than the EN-7. Its flatter pattern makes it easy to get the ball from glove to throwing hand, which is why Japanese patterns are trusted by professional middle infielders: the lighter feel and smaller pocket let you know where the ball is at all times. The raw, unpadded hand stall gives maximum feel, while the thick palm leather keeps sting down. This Blue version has blue leather, gold stitching and split gray welting.
⚾ Positions: Middle infield.
🧤 Glove Fit and Feel:
Japanese Pattern: A wide pattern with a snug, secure pocket, slightly deeper than the EN-7.
Closes Thumb to Ring Finger: The natural close for a Japanese pattern.
Two-Hinge Break-In: The DM-5 plays best broken in on two hinges, but can be broken in on one.
Traditional Wear: Plays best worn traditionally, and it is easier to wear two in the pinky than the EN-7.
Sizing: Plays slightly smaller than its marked size because of its wide, shallow pocket.
🇯🇵 Made in Japan: Handcrafted by master glovemakers at our Japanese supplier from premium steerhide leather sourced in Japan.
📏 Size and Age: Designed for high school to professional middle infielders who want quick transfers and a light glove.
🌟 Why You Should Buy: If you play middle infield and want a light glove with fast transfers and a pocket you can always find the ball in, the DM-5 is built for it.
