I own a Vinci Custom Pro RV65 for softball. I own many other “high end” gloves for softball and baseball (Rawlings PRODJ2, Wilson A2000 G4, 1796, A1000 SB13, Nokona AMG1200, AMG650K).

Objectively I would say the Vinci is, at the very least, equal to any of the mentioned models. I would say this in terms of quality of construction/durability, performance, and comfort. Personally I like it the most of any of my gloves. It is very comfortable, but also has the reinforcement to maintain a great open shape (it is my experience that these attributes typically come at the cost of one another). Overall, for me, it has the performance/playability of a Wilson and the toughness of a Rawlings, while being more comfortable than either, thus making it my top choice.

Great glove maker, I would recommend looking into their product.

The company sells more than 65 types of gloves and styles that cost between $50 and $250. The company was featured in Fortune and an RBS story . [...]

I’ve known Pete for a few years and his dedication to producing a good on field product is well documented. I personally use one of his gloves and love it. I agree with David when he said it is a good opportunity to buy local and support one of our own. Good job Pete.

I didn’t know about Vinci until now. What a great opportunity for Richmond area ballplayers to “buy local” and support our economy. Also a touching story about a son’s devotion to his father. We’ll be checking out Vinci gear for next season for our family.
