Must be Glove Day... Got the Vinci Today too!!! Pitcher's/Middle fielders. I went through Chaz, and got great Service & $Price !!! It is a custom, and got it 2 weeks faster than posted on their web-side.

Haha, yeah I'm anxious to see that look too! Casey has been beating up on it but I know it's gonna be stiff. She's 13 and a very strong kid, we've got some time to work with it before she "needs" to use it full time. Her twin sister just blew out her Wilson and I'm looking to replace that asap. She's a Pitcher/SS/Second base and sometimes outfielder. Not sure exactly which way to go for her at this point though?

DD was able to game her JCV-VM after about a month of breaking it in, even after Casedawg worked it. The best thing we did was go to an outdoor batting cage and catch those water logged dimple balls. The mitt is still not floppy after four travel and two MS seasons. Probably around 200 games plus catching pitching lessons. There's no telling how many pitches this thing has caught. Pic below.

As far as a fielding glove goes I would recommend a Vinci BV1929-L. It's a great utility glove that plays smaller than the 12.5" it's listed at.

My dd's catcher's mitt (Not a Vinci - Her school is sponsored by Louisville Slugger for equipment) finally arrived two weeks ago. She brought it over to break it in. I put a thermal sock over a 20 lb. kettleball and we pounded the bejesus out of it with the kettleball. No heat, no oils, etc. In 30 minutes it was game ready.

Out the door now, on the way to buy a 30lb. Kettleball........

New Vinci JCV-VM for DD...yes, there was a look of wtf when she first slipped it on and tried to squeeze. She's got her work cut out for her! Thank you Casey, this mitt is going to be awesome!!

Where did you get your daughter's mitt from? I'm in the market for a catchers mitt for a left handed thrower and am currently borrowing my brother's back up.
