My 9yo daughter wants to be a catcher, and went to a clinic recently. One of the other catchers had a 31 inch A440 that my dd, who is small, liked very much. She finds most mitts too heavy. This mitt has been discontinued. Can anyone suggest a substitute?

My DD is using a Mizuno GSX92. It's a great glove and not terribly heavy (has an open web as opposed to a closed one), but I think it is bigger than the A440. However, on the plus side, if she tries one on and happens to like it, she wouldn't have to change anytime soon.

At 9, my daughter was using an Easton Stealth and she loved it, but honestly, it wasn't nearly as nice as the Mizuno and I don't think it was any lighter. She also tried on a Diamond i-325 when she was around 10. It seemed to fit her pretty well and she liked the way it felt; I remember I thought it looked like a fairly small-sized mitt.
