Vinci Launches Line of Womens Fast Pitch Softball Gloves

Monday, March 14th, 2011

Vinci, makers of high quality baseball gloves and equipment, announces a new line of women’s fast pitch softball gloves.

This line of women’s fast pitch gloves features a new double reinforced mesh backing and a velcro wrist strap. The wrist strap adjusts better to different sizes and shapes. In addition, each softball glove has extra padding to ease impact when catching.

“The fast pitch line was created due to high demand from customers and future customers,” said Pete Vinci, “Women’s fast pitch is now the fastest growing segment of amateur baseball.”

The new softball glove models are:

AB74-VM

JCV-VM

RCV-VM


TC21-VM

Individually handcrafted by master craftsman with years of experience and training, these gloves feature the signature Vinci exclusive deep pocket design which allows for better ball control and less spin. The fast pitch gloves include heavy-duty thumb and pinky loops that help retain the glove shape.

“The same leather we use for the pros, we use for these gloves,” said Vinci. “These are pro level gloves. But the mesh back is a little lighter and they break in easier for the players.”

The popularity of women’s fast pitch softball has grown steadily in recent years. Women’s Fast pitch softball exists in organized leagues and in traveling tournament teams. The competition can go as high as college or even Olympic levels. Increased media coverage has contributed to this growth.

Vinci NEW Limited Series TJ1952-L Softball Glove

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

TJ1952-L_Bordeaux-Back_View-Web-BIGThe TJ1952-L is dedicated to the memory of Timothy Jones, a hard working truck driver, husband, father and hero! Tim battled cancer for 21 months after being diagnosed with two good months. During Tim’s battle, Mark Jones, his son, started purchasing Vinci products. Pete Vinci, president of Vinci became Mark’s mentor as Pete had helped his father, Benjamin Vinci (whose signature is in every Vinci glove) battle with ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease. Because of this Mark had become more involved in the Vinci company. While Tim was still with us, Pete had started working on a softball specific glove and needed some input. He asked the opinion of Tim. Pete’s blueprint with Tim’s input became the TJ1952-L, a 13.5 inch H-web built like a Mack truck!

Unfortunately, Tim never saw the official release of the TJ1952-L as we lost Tim to his battle with cancer on March 22,2010. However, his name will be remembered by many as the TJ1952-L model is named after him.

Mark Jones

MAKE THE PLAY!

The TJ1952-L is the glove softball players have been waiting for! Beautifully designed and handcrafted with 13.5 inches of high quality 5oz Kip leather.Kip Leather is known for its durability, softness and weight. Our Kip Leather is roughly 20% lighter then our US steer hide model gloves, breaks in much faster and yet retains its shape longer. The TJ1952-L features a dual post web and flex-closed back. Available in either right-handed or left-handed thrower in 4 stunning colors, Black, Bordeaux, Blue and Red. As part of our Limited Series the TJ1952-L is a limited addition that has been added to the line for a short amount of time. We utilized sheepskin finger linings which are found on the top of the line gloves, put a solid palm pad in thee for beefed up protection where you need it most. The leather is pre-treated to allow for quicker break in time, and with all of that still have a glove that is one of the lightest on the market today.
