for younger players (ie say 12u and younger), which direction below do you like
a - high quality gloves (ie Vinci, etc.), longer lasting, but longer break in periods
b- cheaper gloves (ie Mizuno prospect), need to replace more often, shorter break in periods (and less drama if it gets left outside, left behind, etc.)
DW and I are generally willing to spend the money on gear for our DDs sports, but I am balking a little bit at spending $200 on a glove for a 10u player, that will likely only last them less than 2 years as she grows.
Thoughts?
