Just ordered JCV-VM form Dakemir. DD can't wait.

Came down to if we should get 33" or 34", I suggested she go up to 34", but she said she likes her current mitt so we stayed with the 33".

I'm not sure what drives that decision, is it just preference? She tried some teammates 34" gloves (other brands) and they felt big to her. DD doesn't like change in gear so I think that's what pushed her to stay with what she's used to.

It's preference. There are some college and pro catchers who use 33", and other who use 34".

33" will be fine. My DD plays OF with a 11.25" glove and has never, and I mean never, missed a ball she could reach. It's all in what you're comfortable with.
