I had been at the point of needing to get a catcher's mitt for catching my 2 pitchers. I did not want to spend a lot, as funds seem to go more toward them these days (I seem to remember getting one used bat every few years, somehow they carry 3...).
My search criterion - enough room for a hand, good padding/support, budget conscious, and a good sound when catching. I looked at probably too many options, and went with the Mizuno Prime MVP 34 inch Baseball Mitt. I was able to get one for under $100, so deals are out there. I've been using it for about a month, and can say this is a valid option. It was extremely easy to break in, within 2 days I was on my catching with it. Plenty of room to break in to get a deep pocket for a 12 inch ball, even though it's a baseball mitt. Padding helps a ton, something I feel a fastpitch mitt would be missing. Fits an adult hand. And most importantly for them, has a tremendous pop.
Thought I'd leave this review as this site tremendously helps me.
