A week or so ago, DD wanted me to warm her up and I didn't have my catchers mitt with me so I used my fielders glove.
Didn't take long to remember why I needed a catchers mitt. A few pitches later reminded me why my Evoshield thumb guard is so important !
I stopped by the LSGS and walked by the catchers mitts and tried on a Worth LACMWN Liberty Advanced 34" along with some nicer models. The Worth seemed to fit my big hand. Made the impulse purchase and so far, so good. The padding alone is worth it...
