My daughter is wrapping up her last year of 14U and I'll be honest, we've never really stepped up and purchased her a good glove. Part of the reason why is she absolutely loves the flexibility of the Mizuno Prospect gloves. They're cheap and we go through at least one a year. Unless they totally break it's almost impossible to get her to give up on an old floppy Prospect for a new one. We have several new ones waiting in the wings. She has used the 12'5" most but we've also cycled 1 or 2 of the 12" through. As an FYI: she is a middle infielder and pitcher.
I've started looking at other gloves for next season and am considering the Vinci BV1929-L. It sounds like the break-in period is rough on these and I'm not sure I can get my daughter through it. I mean she gripes about the Mizuno Prospects for a couple weeks when they are new...LOL. Because of her familiarity, I've also considered the Mizuno MVP but I'm not convinced a mid-grade glove is the way to go.
Looking for a better quality glove in the $100-$200 range that will get her through several more TB years and her HS playing career. She practices year round and plays roughly 100-120 games a year.
Any recommendations or thoughts?
