Does anyone on here know of a good brand of left-handed weighted catchers mitts? I'm looking for one to use at practices to work on forearm strength.

Just my opinion- work on forearm strength in the weight room. Don’t get into bad habits with weighted equipment. You wouldn’t hit with a weighted bat.
me hiding as i just ordered the cambats for the kids.
Why does the mitt have to be weighted? If you're working on forearm strength during practice, wouldn't a small flexible weight from wally-world, like one of those you wrap around your wrist work just as well and be far less expensive? Even if you wanted it on the mitt, I would think Gorilla Tape would work although I think you'd rather wear it on the wrist as opposed to on the mitt.
Just buy (or make) yourself a wrist roller. Cutoff broom handle, a piece of rope, and a barbell weight plate.
