Does Vinci offer an 11.75 inch model? It seems to be a perfect size for dd

I would send Drakemir a message and see what he says

Model JV26 is a I-web, and the model RV53 which is a H-web, both are Limited Kip leather. For an 11.75" glove and a 12" softball, I'd opt for the RV53, the H-web will break in deeper. Also, if you're hot on a Vinci, check out the 12" ME024-M.

That Rawlings single post looks great. Thats a baseball glove though. The baseball gloves do not fit her XXS hands very good. Not much in response to the FP Rawlings gloves so i will take it they are substandard. I purchased a mitt from Drakemir over the summer, i will hit him up again to see what kind of deal he has on a Vinci.

What model HOH fastpitch glove are you specifically looking at?

And without going into a ton of specific details, stay away from a Dual Core glove unless you have a really young daughter. How old is she, what position(s) does she play, how advanced is she and how much does she play through the year? Dual Core Rawlings are made from Horween leather (yes, the famous Horween Tannery) but they're made from Featherlite leather, which is NOT true Horween ball glove leather!

I haven't spent any time checking out the Liberty Advance or the Rawlings FP gloves, but I *think* they're basically the same now?

I was looking at the Rawlings HOH PRO316SB-2B and the LA RLA715-2W. DD is 12yo pitcher and MI she plays on B level travel team and MS ball. Yea my experience with BB Dual Core glove was a disappointing one. I have a Pro P and 2 HOH's from my days of playing that have more shape than the Dual Core i purchased for my son this past summer. I like the idea of using the BB versions for FP, but my DD has hands the size of bubbly gum packs.

Any thoughts on the All-Stat Vela 3-finger gloves? They look to be quality leather.

I love my All-Star CMW3000 FP mitt, I've honestly never held or looked at one of their 3-finger Vela gloves. I think Eric F's DD uses one and they're happy with it. They look like nice gloves! I think for really snug / tight hand and finger stalls, you can't beat Vinci.

Back to the All-Star Vela's, I wish they used the good Maruhashi leather like on my CMW3000 mitt and their System-Seven baseball gloves!

Fastpitch, but with the sewn wrist closure.
