My almost 12 year old DD just made the switch from Rec + PT Travel this year to 12U FT Travel + middle school team.
She has developed a very good glove and strong arm and will be playing SS and outfield positions this season.
Her current glove is a 13" Wilson Tempest from Dick's Sporting Goods 2 years ago that has done her well through rec ball to this point but needs to be retired, although she still plays it very well even as worn as the glove is. She's not thrilled about switching.
She likes the open back design. Since she will be splitting her duties at SS and Outfield I was thinking of dropping her to a 12.5" glove.
Reading through this forum. I started looking at the Nokonas, Vincis, and Worth Liberty's knowing there would be a long break in process but wondering if this would be too big a switch from her basic soft "ECCO" leather entry level Wilson glove. I'm starting to think maybe getting her into something more in the line with a Wilson A1000.
I live in the south suburbs of Chicago and have yet found a store in the area that stocks a decent assortment of FP gloves especially this time of year.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
