Let’s hear an update, how’s the break in coming? Is it easier to get your hand inside now?

Nice mitt! Two questions. my daughter has tiny hands (15), would you go with standard or the smaller size opening? Thinking about buying my son a custom mitt for baseball but I can't find a catchers mitt that you can customize on the Rawlings site. Where did you find the mitt to customize?
@ANNASDAD, the break in is pretty good. The pointer finger hole design is a bit baffling??? It will take some time to stretch it out. The bummer is that it’s actually bulging towards the inside and I’ve had a few stingers that I wouldn’t have expected.
The thumb strap isn’t deep enough into the hole and it’s curling in…?
The pocket for the pinky/ring fingers isn’t quite deep enough so it’s really putting some pressure on my pinky.
Ultimately, I’ll be happy with it but wish my hand wasn’t so big! During really hot days, I break a sweat getting it on!
@Tango,
My guess is she’d do better with the 33”, but I’m probably not the best person to make suggestions for small hands.

Never mind I'm not very smart

Although this and the mitt I’ve had for a couple months should be identical in cut, fit and construction; this one fits my large hand MUCH better. It’s already breaking in nicely and I’m hoping to try it out with some students tomorrow. If all else fails, it will be a third option to offer ill-prepared bucket parents. My thought is to use this rig for indoor lessons and the more classic mitt for outdoor.
Wow Ken, you’re on a roll, very nice!! Glad this one seems to fit you better!
