The Prostatus Series: Elite Performance

As ZETT’s flagship product line, the Prostatus series represents the pinnacle of material selection and artistry. It provides professional-grade gear designed to deliver superior performance on the diamond.

• Star Player Design (Shogo Nakamura Model): This ZETT Japan Prostatus 11.75-inch Black Infielder Glove is the signature model for Shogo Nakamura, the multi-time Gold Glove Award winner and captain of the Chiba Lotte Marines. Featuring a slightly larger 11.75-inch frame, this glove is engineered for the ultimate balance of stability and reach, reflecting Nakamura's reputation for defensive reliability and leadership in the middle infield.

• Master Craftsmanship: Meticulously crafted by ZETT’s senior artisans, this glove incorporates direct feedback and real-world performance data from Shogo Nakamura to ensure the pocket depth and glove closure are perfectly tuned for professional competition.

• Ultimate Versatility: While technically labeled as a Nanshiki (Rubber Ball) glove, its premium leather grade and robust construction make it fully capable of handling Hardball play, from recreational games to high-level league competition.

Premium Leather & Advanced Engineering

Premium Japanese Steerhide

Crafted from high-grade Japanese Steerhide, this glove offers a lightweight feel combined with a fine, responsive texture. This allows infielders to maintain maximum "ball feel," which is essential for the steady ball handling and secure catches that are hallmarks of Nakamura’s defensive style.

Structural Innovations

• Full-Finger Internal Liners: The internal leather lining extends from the base of the fingers all the way to the tips. This reinforces the overall structure, prevents premature deformation, and significantly extends the glove's lifespan.

• Thumb & Pinky Reinforcement: By extending the thumb and pinky loops to the fingertips, ZETT has drastically enhanced both control and structural integrity, providing the firm support needed to handle high-velocity grounders.

• Professional Control: These reinforced zones provide players with the confidence and precision needed for professional-level play, ensuring a seamless and reliable defensive performance in every inning.
