Glove needed for DD that is 13 playing TB, she has long fingers but very skinny hands. She is 5’4” and slender, plays SS, 2B and OF. May of last year her glove broke so we had to find a glove quickly and the only thing that fit her hand was a Mizuno GPL1200F1, wanted to find a better glove but this was the only that fit. Now a couple of months later and this glove is extremely broken in almost to the point of being floppy and not holding its form. Yesterday while taking hard hit ground balls, the glove was flexing too much and would allow the ball to skitter under the glove. Normally she is a very good and clean fielder. I looked at the glove after practice and the laces at the pocket were broken, in only a couple of months. I need some suggestions on a better glove that will last longer and fit a small hand, she likes having the Velcro strap as that is the only way to have the glove fit tight enough. We do not have a good selection of gloves in my area to try on to check fit (NE Indiana), so we will probably have to find something on-line, not really what I want to do.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
