Too Big For 12” Ball

I bought this for myself to catch my daughter while she pitches and the glove was bulky and didn’t provide any additional protection.

Looks Good So Far

Not many options available for left-hand throw catcher's mitts. This has good size, and is pretty flexible out of the box for a catcher's mitt, though it will need some break-in. Leather and laces look like good quality. My 15 yr. old daughter, who is 5'8" and has long fingers, liked it out of the box. She had liked her old mitt, but we wanted a larger mitt for blocking. She's only done a little throwing and catching, but so far likes it.

Poor Quality

For the price this catchers mitt isnt good quality. It might be ok for smaller balls but for a 12" ball and a pitcher pitching 45mph or higher you will feel every pitch on your index finger. There is absolutely no padding and I have used less expensive gloves that provide more padding than this glove.

High Quality - Easy Breakin

12 year old daughter kept jamming her thumb with her old, smaller glove. Did not want to give it up for a larger size with more protection. After latest injury, I ordered this glove. It arrived within 2 days and I broke it in easily almost overnight. She loves the glove and the flexibility. Protects the thumb better but she is still jamming it. Will need to get a thumb guard now to help with more protection.Would have liked to try this first at a store but they are only available on line. I was afraid that the 34 inch model would be too big. If your daughter is a catcher and intends to continue to play, this is a glove that she can grow with. Fit my 12 year old, 5'4", 115 pound daughter very well. Hopefully this will help to judge the sizing for your child.
