The 34" mitt are to big for an older catcher
Please be careful with blanket statements. Different manufacturers design their gloves with differing depth of pocket. My daughter's first glove was a 33 inch Praying Mantis. New it was as flat as a dinner plate and broke in in days. (It lasted a season and was falling apart) The thing looked more like a 35 inch mitt than a 33 inch. Worth and Vinci have deeper pockets. The 34" Vinci looks no bigger than the 33 inch. It plays like a smaller glove due to the deep pocket. The 34 inch I mentioned earlier was for a H/S freshman who was so excited to make varsity!
