Which glove to buy?

I can't stand velcro. She likes to be able to adjust it tighter though.

Vinci 22" Series are a great midrange glove. But nothing wrong with that Mizuno - gloves are all about the feel, if she likes her current one, sticking with the same brand might be worth it.

Thanks everyone! I'm tempted to go w/ the Mizuno MVP, because she loves the feel of her current Mizuno. She's got the low end Jennie Finch model, and they just don't hold up with how much she uses them. We've gone through 2 in less than 2 years.

What style is best? It seems like the basket is better for pitching to hide the grip but I've seen people say they like the open weave styles for SS. She's used to the basket though she has a 1B glove she's used a little that has the open style.

For shortstop, an I-web is the way to go. It will have a shallower pocket for a quick transfer, and is supposed to stop spin on the ball.

Truth. As much as I've tried to get my DD to make a change to a higher-end catcher's mitt, she just feels "right" with a Mizuno (currently, MVP-series), even knowing it will have a limited life-span.

Yeah, these kids know what they like.

DD2 has used her Mizuno MVP for last 2 seasons. It's a great glove for the money. The only thing we don't like about it is the inside where her fingers go gets cracked and rough. I finally talked her into wearing her batting glove on her glove hand. We just ordered her an A2000 for this season.

Get her one of these - she will thank you, that extra wrist padding is a lifesaver on those short hops

What I'm finding with the MVP series is that some have lined finger stalls and some don't. My DD's catcher's mitt doesn't, and the back side of the finger stall got rough pretty quickly. She hates the feel of an extra glove inside her mitt.

2016 Vinci JBG EXCLUSIVE Baseball Glove Tan/Red with FREE GIFT: JSJS

Or get Drakemir to build you a 12" JSJS in all tan Kip leather with a black H-web and black laces. Don't really care for the red laces on this exclusive from Justballgloves but the leather looks great! And I'll take a H-web over that modified T-web everyday. Basically I just described my DD's Vinci.

Since I can only buy one, we should go with a closed weave though, I think? Seems more crucial for the pitcher to hide the ball. She's done fine at ss with the closed weave so far.
