I completely agree with this, but.....and I know this from experience, 60 to 63 mph rise and curve balls with LATE sharp break will not always be squared up in the pocket! And then there’s those lightly nicked foul balls that love to track down a thumb!Work on receiving. Make sure she has good timing and knows how to truly catch the ball. That will eliminate a mountain of thumb injuries
Not a Liberty. I have a CMW3000 and a Vinci JCV-22. Both excellent mitts, the All-Star excels with the single hinge heel break and excellent thumb protection. The Vinci, almost to a fault excels with the over the top palm protection / padding!Does anyone have the CMW3001 AND Liberty for comparison
Not mitts here, fielders gloves, same point though.I have a stupid question what is a single and double hinge? How do you know if a glove has good thumb protection? Sorry my DD and I are new to catching.

Note the single heel break on this NP6, it closes or hinges at just one point.
Now note the square heel on this Pro1000, it has a dual break, it hinges at the thumb and also the pinky side.
