Do the Vinci catcher mitts only come with mesh finger stalls? Can you get an all-leather catcher's mitt from Vinci? I can't tell from the website.
I am very skeptical about the mesh. I promised my dd I would buy a custom made glove for her when she plays in college...you know, school colors, embroidered name and number, etc. It will either be a Vinci or Wilson. I will be ordering in a year or so.
I just sold one of my catchers a Vinci 34" JCV-VM to replace her Worth Liberty.... (Not sure about the Legit) After a little more than a season she is seeing that it was not holding up well... The limited series leather on the Vinci's holds up well and is maintaining excellent "pop." Our family loved Worth products years ago as they had some great gloves. My daughter's Liberty took months to break in but had the best pop of any glove at that time. Worth changed their leathers and while easier to break in and use, lost most of the "pop" that made them great.
Three factors sold me on becoming a rep and using their products.
- The consistent quality of their products
- The "pop" factor... These are loud gloves!
- The palm protection. I had a H/S senior catching a pitcher throwing in the mid 60's go through 3 other gloves and kept getting her gloved hand bruised. (She even wore an inner glove!) We loaned her a Vinci for two weeks and she refused to give it back. I have yet to find a glove that protects a catcher's hand better.
