Good Morning

I catch my daughter for practice during the week or off season and am looking or a glove with more padding. I have heard do many different ideas that my head it spinning. I have rheumatoid arthritas and a little less hand slap is important to me. So -RH throw, man hand, padding, thumb protection and probably around 34 inch. Any suggestions would be appreciated. the more I read the more confused I become.

Thanks for your time.

If you're willing to spend the money, nothing beats Vinci for palm protection.

Chaz or casedawg can hook you up with the best pricing.

Great bucket dad mitt on a budget is called the "BigDaddy" made by LS.
34" fastpitch catchers mitt made a touch big to accommodate a male hand. Approx. $85.00

Besides the catcher's glove, make sure you get the padded glove that goes under the glove. Extra padding on thumb, index and palm. Works wonders!

The Vinci's padding is such that the user does not need to use additional hand or thumb protection. I don't know of any other catchers mitt that provides similar protection.

I keep my pointer finger out of the back of the glove, so I filled that finger hole with weather stripping down into the palm. Gives some extra padding for balls in the palm, but does nothing to help the thumb.

DD and DS received their gloves in the mail today from Chaz. Started the break in process. Hope to have it ready for winter ball in a couple months. Haven't met Chaz in person but he was very knowledgeable and helpful. Very honest and up front, he quoted me a good prices on two great gloves. Highly recommended!
