I don't mind the dig, but I really do still play OF, not all the time but at least a few innings a game. I am not saying I don't see where it bends, I just don't have issues w mine.
I can't flare it, the leather squeaks, it's heavy as hell, and the liner deteriorates SO fast. Why would I want a Vinci? I understand you're sold on their story, and love that they're a small company, but Vinci would KILL to be rawlings. They won't ever be that tho, their product isn't good enough. (Facts only)
To make a long story short, I genuinely respect your loyalty. I can appreciate it! It's just ridiculous to say they can realistically compare to rawlings, wilson or mizuno.
The pros choose what's BEST, not what's most popular. I promise!
