Informal Poll for Catchers What mitt do you use?

[chazbz1]

I get asked a lot about mitts and am putting out this informal poll. You can post replies here or email me at advancedcatchingconcepts@gmail.com

Thanks, Chaz @ ACC

Here's the questions:

How old is your catcher?

What brand and Model (Name and/or Number) mitt does your catcher currently use?

On a scale of 1-10 (1= bad, 10= ecstatic) How well do they like the mitt?

What one thing would they change about the mitt if they could change anything?

What is your catcher's "dream mitt"?


Thanks in advance for participating! I am posting in a few different areas and will update results as we receive your polls.

What is your catcher's "dream mitt"? Finally found it!

We found this mitt on ebay. Used one year and it came in like new condition, but broken in. We didn't pay near the new price. Ball sticks in the glove--a problem she had with prior mitts when catching for hard throwing pitchers.

What brand and Model (Name and/or Number) mitt does your catcher currently use? Rawlings CCMFP

What one thing would they change about the mitt if they could change anything? Too many balls bounce right out. It needs a deeper/better pocket.

What is your catcher's "dream mitt"? Getting her a Mizuno GXS92

My DD is a pitcher, but I use a Nokona catchers mitt that I bought off Ebay for $75 for "bucket time" and I love it! I will have it refurbished before I would buy another glove.

Vinci, JCV-VM (33")
10, deep pocket, great thumb and just overall hand protection, lightweight even though it is Kip leather, easy to get over on the block, pitchers love the loud pop sound it makes
One thing to change, it just takes time and patience to break in
Dream glove? A free Vinci

I catch for my DD too.
Got this one from lots of good "value" reviews.
Mizuno 34" Supreme Series Fastpitch Catcher's Mitt - Dick's Sporting Goods
Bucket-buddy dad tried it last week and he bought one.
Very light - very protective - very positive pocketing of ball - inexpensive! ($70)

13YO
Mizuno Classic Fastpitch GXS33
She gives it a 9 out of 10
Nothing she would change. Myself, I did have to get some stitching fixed.
Worth Liberty is her dream mitt, though she's pretty fond of this one.
