Another recommendation for a Vinci. I use the JVC-34M. I've been through 18U showcase and have since dropped back to a 12U team so I've caught balls thrown as fast as 68 MPH in the past. My DD, a college catcher, uses the All-Stars CMW3000. Either one is a great mitt although the Vinci offers superior palm protection. I recently purchased a Liberty Advance which I also like very much for one of my catchers. Any of the 3 I'd recommend but Vinci, IMO would be the first I'd purchase again for myself if I were constantly catching a developing pitcher.

The link I posted may be an option to keeping your existing mitt. But if you're going to replace it, I've had really good luck out of mine.
If you can find one online, (they're discontinued) look for a mitt called the (Big Daddy) by Louisville Slugger. It's made specifically for an adult man's hand to catch his DD... I bought mine about 10 years ago and it still is a gem.

I cant say enough good things about my 34" liberty advanced. Only down side, is I'm not a huge fan of white gloves

Thanks for the responses and helping to narrow in my trip to the sporting good store. DW gave me permission to buy a new one on the condition I quit whining. I quickly reminded her that she has to catch DD during summer lessons during the day. She promptly got on the phone with all the catcher moms she knows

I finally broke down and bought a Wilson A2000 Pro Stock 35 1/2 a few years back. I have never had a problem with it and plenty of protection. I just googled it and it is going for around $259 these days. Wowzer! I am positive I paid less than half of that when I bought it but glad I looked because I will be even more careful I don't let it out of my sight......:cool:
