My daughter is starting to throw harder than I want to catch with a fielding glove. Looking for a good catchers mitt that doesn't cost a fortune. Most of the local stores don't have a big selection of fastpitch mitts. The ones they do have tend to be fairly small, and now are trending towards the smaller female hands. Which is great for the girls, but bad for dads with big hands who want to catch them. I'm looking for something witha big deep pocket, probably 34". Looking at the ones in the stores some of the 32" or 33" seem to be larger than the 34's. Makes it hard to buy online when you can't try it on yourself, and see how big it really is. I already sent one purchased on-line back because I didn't care for it.
So, if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. I'm wanting a big sturdy mitt that doesn't cost a fortune. I'd prefer one with the closed pocket instead of the webbed pocket many are trending to now. That's not a deal breaker, I just prefer the looks of the closed back, and seems like it would be more durable. Thanks for any help.
