Does your DD like the mitt she has? Does it work well for her? Is she comfortable using it?DD (starting 14U) is in need of new Mitt. She is using Vinci JCV-PC that I got from casedawg back in Dec 2015 and she has been very happy with the mitt.
I wasn't sure how long a good mitt typically lasts, but for my DD after a little over 2 1/2 years she has worn a hole in the leather on the palm.
I'm wondering if I should get her a very similar replacement ($150ish) or if it is worth upgrading to one of the Vinci mitts that are $250-300. Performance of her current mitt is good so it would only make sense if the mitt is going to last her longer than 2-3 years.
We have a pretty heavy schedule and she catches 80% of games, according to game changer she caught almost 1000 TB innings with current mitt + probably another 500 in rec and scrimmages + weekly catching for her pitchers (not sure how many pitches that adds up to).
Appreciate any feedback on high end mitts and if you can expect them to last 4+ years with that kind of use. If I'm gonna spend $300 on a mitt I would hope it would last through high school.
Why buy something different when this one works for her?
