Pros: Great service. Great Price. I wanted American made gloves for myself and sons. My youngest uses the EV1150 for short and pitcher on travel team. He kicked his A2000 1788 to the curb as the Evo held its shape and had better feel.
Cons: Nothing yet. Do not listen to anyone complaining about break-in as it shows signs of quality compared to over-oiled Rawlings. We use Wilson pro staff lanolin, mallet, form and catch with no issues.
Pros: Outstanding glove. Excellent quality all around. I have the all black version of this and the 1175, they are on par with any A2000/HOH that I own, and I have quite a few. These glove were a decent value when they were 240 bucks, they are a screaming deal at 150.
Cons: I have not found any. Maybe the binding could be a little tighter, but that's pretty nitpicky.
Pros: overall great glove. great leather, and breaks in really well and forms to my hand.
Cons: nothing.
Pros: Looks great
Cons: Small finger slots, soft leather compared to a2000. Squeezes from palm of glove rather than fingers
Pros: Awesome piece of leather and the quality is as good or better than anything in it's class. My son picked this over the A2000 DP the minute he got his hands on it. The fingers are snug but will expand to fit the size of your hand, making it a great transition glove for kids. Sharp looking color scheme too and made in America!
Cons: none yet

About the Brand
In 1842, J. Frederick Hillerich emigrated with his family from Baden-Baden, Germany to the United States. Eight years before, the 1834 Book of Sports had made its debut as the nation's first publication covering baseball. But when he arrived in Baltimore, J. Frederick Hillerich would never have dreamed of the future impact his family would have on America's favorite pastime.
After a short while, the Hillerichs moved to Louisville, where J. Fred started a woodworking shop in 1856. Two of his sons, Adam and John Andrew "Bud" were born in the United States and would later join their father in his business. By 1864 "J.F. Hillerich, Job Turning" was in operation and filled orders for businesses by custom-turning everything from balusters to bedposts.
The firm thrived, and by 1875 the little woodworking shop employed about 20 people. In 1880 Bud Hillerich, who was an amateur baseball player, became an apprentice in his father's shop. Young Bud made his own baseball bats along with bats for several of his teammates.
The debate over the origins of the first bat continues to generate controversy among baseball enthusiasts, but the younger Hillerich was most certainly involved in getting his father's business involved with what would become the company's signature item. According to company legend, the first bat was turned by Bud for Pete "The Old Gladiator" Browning in 1884. Browning was a star on Louisville's professional American Association team - the Eclipse. On a spring afternoon Bud, then seventeen, witnessed Browning break his favorite bat. Bud offered to make a bat for his hero, and Browning accepted. After the young wood shop apprentice lathed a quality stick from white ash, according to the story, Browning got three hits with it in the next game.
Louisville Slugger gloves are worn by more pitchers in Major League Baseball than any other glove.
