Description
Vinci Pro gloves are the finest handcrafted gloves on the market and are designed with quality in mind. You can have the same quality the professionals wear with a Vinci. Individually handcrafted by Master Craftsman with years of experience and training, The Custom Pro Junior Series utilizes pro patterned gloves with pro-grade leather palms. On the back of the glove we utilized lightweight, softer leather for a lighter weight for a child and "ease of squeeze" for the youth player. Our Custom Pro Junior Series leather is pre-treated at the factory allowing for a much shorter break in time. Our high-quality leather allows our gloves to be durable, yet playable and retain their shape longer. Vinci's exclusive deep pocket design allows for better control and less spin. They also come with a heavy-duty thumb. More than just a glove, every model number, and signature has a meaning. Each Vinci Pro model is dedicated to Benjamin Vinci, a father, grandfather and WWII Veteran who left a great impact on so many people. You can find Benjamin Vinci's signature on each glove we make. He is the reason behind this company, so when you use a Vinci Pro glove, know that the story behind your glove is the story of an American hero. Put on a Vinci Pro glove and "Make the Play!"

MJ
Pros: A real leather youth glove that looks and feels like a pro glove. Very little break in time. Glove was fairly easy to squeeze by a 7year old right out of the wrapper. This is a must have for your kid playing baseball! No other youth glove can compare.
Cons: None.
Chris in Houston
Pros: Great ball glove for the youth player. Easy break-in, quality leather, and looks great too. Just the right size, weight, and flexibility for my 7 year old. Excellent glove for the money.
Cons: Non
Matt in Phoenix
Pros: This glove is exactly what I was looking for. I purchased it for my 7 year old and am so impressed with it that I am ordering one for my 6 year old as well. Don't waste your money on multiple gloves like I did and just buy this one.
Cons: Not really a con, but you will have to break this glove in properly, which took us about 2-3 days.
Mad Mike
Pros: This is the best youth glove on the market!!!! 8and under
Cons: none

Cons: None
Richard
Pros: An awesome glove! I have looked at quite a few youth gloves and this one stands out above all the others. The quality of construction appears excellent. The leather feels great and the glove fits my 6 year old perfect. Great service and quick shipping also.
Cons: None
Paulr
Pros: Nice glove, bought it for my sons 7th birthday. He is on the small side but glove fits great.He had a Nike glove but was having trouble closing it on the ball.With this glove its no problem and his confidence level has grown.This is a great glove and was highly reviewed on other sites I had researched.Buy it you won't regret it.
Cons: none
Trip
Pros: Far and away the best glove for young players. Makes all others look like junk. This is a pro-line glove in youth size.
Cons: None
Sam
Pros: Very little break-in time Real leather 7 year old son loved it - perfect size for him - plays shortstop
Cons: None at all
David in Florida
Pros: Great glove right out of the box. Not a lot of break in time needed and my son loved the way the glove looks and feels. He is more comfortable with the glove in catching the ball and I already see the difference! We will definately buy another vinci glove!
Cons: None
Coach
Pros: Awesome glove....will never recommend anyone purchase another gloves besides this one. I just wish I would have purchased sooner.
Cons: None
JL
Pros: This is a fantastic glove! Bought it for my six year old; he will not need another for a long time. This is not the usual floppy young kids glove but a solid glove that is ready to use right away.
Cons: None
John
Pros: I bought the 10.5" for my 9 yr old and like it so much I bought the 11" for my 11yr old. This is an adult quality glove in youth sizes, more so than others we have owned (6 manufacturers). The palm leather and lacing are sturdy and take a little more breaking in time than other models, but look to last much longer. On sizing I note--and this is preference--my 9 yr old plays SS and the 10.5" should last him a few more years before he moves up in size. Both kids love the look and feel of the gloves.
Cons: None
Philip Cullman.AL
Pros: I just purchased this glove for my 6 year old. This glove is the same quality as the glove I play in (PRO CUSTOM JC03). It was ready to play with right out of the wrapper. My son is so proud to have a glove like his Dad.
Cons: NONE
tb
Pros: The glove is of much better quality than other gloves of similar size. I needed very little breaking in.
Cons:
Gohan
Pros: I like how it takes the sting out of catching like my other glove could not.
Cons: None
TG
Pros: The best 10-11 inch youth glove for the money. I think Nokona might make a higher quality 10-11 inch, but it is A LOT more expensive. This one is leaps and bounds above the Rawlings,Wilson pleather gloves you find at your local sporting goods store.
Cons: Don't think your getting the same quality as an adult Vinci. The glove is thin and I was reluctant to give it 5 stars. The reason I ended up giving it the max number is because I understand the glove is so thin for break-in purposes for a 5-7 year old. In the end, probably the best option for the price, for that size range. Lastly, more of a cosmetic thing, but the webbing bugs me, a Vinci rep told me it reduces spin, I just don't care for the look.
Wefird
Pros: High quality for price. Very easy to break in. My son loves the glove.
Cons:
Bkramer
Pros: The glove is easy to Break in and has a very soft leather. The pocket forms nicely and it fits a small hand well. I bought this for my 7 year old who is playing travel ball and it appears that it will be a good glove for him this season. May look to go up to a 11 inch glove next season however.
Cons: My only concern is that the leather is so soft that the fingers give a little bit and I am concerned that a hard line drive will bend them back rather than stop it. But we will see.
CHRIS
Pros: MY 7 YEAR OLD SON LOVES THIS GLOVE. GLOVE IS MADE WELL AND LOOKS GOOD TO. I RECOMMEND IT TO ANY PARENT OUT THERE.
Cons: NONE
D-BO
Pros:
Cons: You get what you pay for. Bought this glove for my 9 year old. Did not hold up for the rigouress travel season.
Kevin
Pros: Easy break in, works for a young kid.
Cons: Do not expect this glove to hold its shape, the leather is to soft. Great for one little league season. This glove would no hold up to a traveler. Replaced with a Akadema.
Wills dad
Pros: Soft, easy to break in, will last multiple seasons. This is the nicest junior glove i have seen. I'm estimating this glove will last my son from age 5 to 8.
Cons: None noted
Slingin' Leather
Pros: Excellent glove for the money, fast break in time and shipping! My son's used it for four seasons, age 7-8, good quality, I highly recommend it.
Cons: None
Dimitri
Pros: Great quality glove. This is the best transition glove which takes a Tee-ball/coach pitch player from soft, easy to close gloves, to leather, with slight break in level gloves.
Cons: Color Choices.
Braves1978
Pros: This is a great youth glove. I would recommend it to any child from age 6 to 8. My son is 6 and just starting to get serious about baseball. It fits well and a good break in will form a great pocket. My son loves it and it looks great.
Cons: I'd say "game ready" is a stretch on this glove. You need a least a week of playing catch for a good break in.
Anonymous
Pros: Bought this glove after trying many different options for my 7 (now 8) year old. Takes a little more break-in effort than some of the fake leather gloves you find for kids, but still quick to break in, and well worth the effort. On our second season, and the glove is fantastic. Durable and performs incredibly well. Perfect size, and it is really easy to quickly get the ball out of the glove after it is caught for a fast throw to a base. The only pro-style glove that is designed for kids that I have found. So much better than buying oversized gloves that really hinder performance.
Cons: None
John
Pros: Best glove I've ever bought for my 9yr old. I noticed that he was flinching when fielding grounders at short, but once he put this glove on his confidence when through the roof. Now he is grabbing everything hit to him without flinching at all.
Cons:
Anonymous
Pros: Perfect glove for my 7yo. Good quality and already broken in.
Cons: None.
BoNewburgh
Pros: Great size for 6-7 year old, glove is well made compared to other youth gloves. Would recommend over a throw away game ready glove.
Cons: Just beware that there is some breaking in time necessary for a younger player to be able to squeeze it properly.
TxTornado
Pros: My 5-year old loves it. He actually catches the ball now. His brothers worked on it with a mallet and got it really flexible. Great glove for small kids.
Cons: Palm is pretty thin. Binding is stiff (plastic), makes the hinge a little funky. Beat on it for a while.
Messenger
Pros: I bought this glove for my son's 7th birthday. I'm no expert, but the glove seems extremely well-made and the leather is soft and supple. To me, it looks and feels like a glove that could cost four times the price. It took about a week break-in and make it game ready.
Cons: None.
Very well made glove Jeremiah N parent
Pros: Looks and feels like a well made professional glove. I bought this for my six year old who has started playing competitive baseball and wore his first glove out last year. I am giving it to him for Christmas so he will be the one giving the final review, but I love it so far.
Cons: The glove is pretty stiff and will need some breaking in especially for a six year old's small hands. I would expect a well made glove to need some breaking in though.
baseball parent aidens dad parent
Pros: very well made. Quality leather. had a cheaper version from Dick's Sporting Goods. Returned it for the Vinci.
Cons: non
LJMR
Pros: --Sizing, including finger stalls, is perfect for 6-7 year old --soft leather, easy break in --quality construction without any of the plastic or mesh you find on most cheap youth gloves
Cons: --break-in on the bottom half of the I-web took some time --after 2 spring seasons and one fall, the pinky has become very soft, almost floppy; concerned it's become a liability on hard throws and lines drives --due to soft leather, shape has been lost somewhat; this is also due to my son still learning break-in and care, but the pocket did not stay open as much as desired for a youth glove
hands
Pros: Based on the numerous positive reviews, I bought this glove for my 7yo (average sized kid; about a month away from 8th bday). I was on the fence between this glove and the larger 11" Vinci BRV1953 but since several folks here said they'd bought it for their 8 and 9yos, I figured it would be something he could grow into. Long story short, it was too small for him. That said, it felt like a nice, lightweight leather glove and of a much higher quality than what you could buy at local big box/sporting goods stores. Lacing seemed to be of a lesser quality leather compared to the rest of the glove (though I don't know if that truly matters for this age range). Wish I'd bought this for his first glove a couple of years ago... I returned it for the BRV1953 (justballgloves.com return service is great!) and couldn't be happier with it for the price.
Cons: None.
Chad
Pros: Very nice glove. Sons first glove so I cannot speak to how well he will use it but the leather is soft, easy to break-in. Appears to be well built.
Cons:
great transitionsl glove DStubbs parent
Pros: My 8 year old son loves this glove so far. Im somewhat of an expensive glove hoarder so naturally he wants an A2K or Heart of the hide but his hands are to small and those gloves are to stiff and heavy. He absolutey hates 99% of gloves designed for his age but this Vinci gives him the look and feel he wants but also has a small hand opening and light weight outer leather.
Cons: the laces are thin snd dont feel like lesther. i doubt they will last long but ill just relace it for him if that hsppens.
Great 1st Glove! Patrick parent
Pros: Bought for my son when he was 7. He is 10 and still uses it when he plays SS or 2B. Loved the quality and feel of the glove and it didnt require a lot of break in. Just told my brother to get one for his 6yo.
Cons: Nothing
Jay
Pros: I bought this glove for my son a couple years ago and it immediately became his favorite glove. He used it for 3 seasons of coach pitch. I would recommend this glove for any kid age 6-8. Especially if your child is playing mostly infield, as it makes a great middle infielder's glove. This year my son is moving up to kid pitch, so we went with the Rawlings GG Gamer G1100MO. I can only hope it provides him with as many seasons as this Vinci glove did.
Cons: None! This is truly a great glove!

My 7 year old son is average size. Would you recommend the BRV1957 or BRV1953 model for him? Just want to know if the 11" would be too large or if he would outgrow the 10.50" quickly. parny1
My 5 year old son is already playing with a 10.5" glove. I would like to know if the Vinci Pro would be good for his age? dtank
I'm interested in comparing this glove to the slightly larger, Rawlings GG Gamer XLE Pro Mesh Series: G107PTLE. My son was using an 11 inch Mizuno which he, at times, had trouble keeping the ball in his glove when it was thrown to him. I was concerned that maybe the glove was too large. My son is turning 7 in a couple months and is 4 foot 3 and weighs 85 pounds. He plays mostly first, with some outfield and some third and short. Would he benefit from a glove with a deeper pocket or just a slightly smaller glove to control? Which of these two gloves would be the better fit for him? Which would be more durable? Tony
Other than size, how does this glove compare to the Shoeless Joe? I have a small 6 year old that plays middle infield. colby
What is the return policy? johnny baseball
BRV1957 or BRV1953 for my 8 yr who plays infield as well as outfield? jeff
