The Vinci CP gloves are decent, but most of their red gloves are from the Limited line, which are average at best and certainly nothing close to the quality of a Pro Limited ..offer 10 guys any red Vinci or a GMP55 and you'll be left with a box full of Vincis.. you get what you pay for.
"You get what you pay for."
I really don't want to make this into a pissin' match of one brand over another. There are enough good brands making very good gloves that there's something for everybody. I do know that at any given price point, Vinci puts more production $$$ into their gloves than other brands. I also highly doubt that someone looking for a 13" & up glove is going to choose a 12.5" GMP55.
We all have personal biases & preferences so it's pretty presumptious of you to assume that everyone would choose as you would! I currently have 30+ gloves spanning 12 different brands in the house. There are several different brands/models/styles which I would happily use without a second thought & I currently use multiple brands now so no fanboy of one brand over.
What if you want something that doesn't weigh 5 pounds? IJS
lol! Sarcasm noted! Please point me towards these 5lb gloves!
I highly doubt that a 13.5" Limited weighs much more than 25.5oz which is actually a good weight for a glove of that size. If that's too much for you either go down in glove size or get a less substantially built glove. It's that simple if you really need the ~3oz of weight savings. ijs
Pretty nice banter here....I prefer Mizuno as well...great gloves IMO. I like the Rawlings, but was looking for something with a little more red. Red as a main color instead of the gray probably. Great information though....keep up the chatter!
If Mizuno is what you prefer, I would tell you to follow Mr. Augie's suggestion & go for a custom Taiwan Mizuno model.
