Description
The Wilson A1K Pro Staff takes the same legendary A2000 and A2K patterns designed for the game's Elite and tweaks them slightly to meet the needs of Intermediate to Advanced-level players everywhere. Built from top-qualilty full grain steerhide leather, the A1K Pro Staff Series provides pro-level performance without the need for a lengthy break-in. This high-end steerhide leather is the best quality available on the open market, and it blends a high level of durability with a softer, mold-able feel that allows you to form the glove to your exact preference. Each glove in the A1K Pro Staff Series also features the Pedroia Fit. This feature includes all of the fit modifications that Dustin Pedroia requests for his own game-model glove. These include a smaller hand opening / tighter finger stalls for a more-snug fit, longer laces, and a low profile heel. By removing the padding typically found at the base of the pocket or "heel", Wilson is able to create a design that closes easier and minimizes the rebound created when bad-hops hit the base of the glove.
This model features a 11.50" pattern size, an I-Web (Wilson H-Web) with Double X Laces, and is perfect for a Youth to Intermediate Infielder.

Cons: none
BB man
Pros: Good fit Good shape
Cons: Cheap leather not as advertised lower end leather like from a discount store Ok for rec play but I don't see this lasting more than one season.
Objective One
Pros: Construction is top of the line. Very hard to distinguish between this glove and the larger A2000. This glove would be perfect for about 9 year olds through high school. (high school if hands on the smaller side) The break-in was quick and easy using ASO's water method and 1 Hot Glove treatment with lots of catch of course. The pocket has formed well and it's easy enough to open and close without losing it's shape.
Cons: The reason for 4 stars vs 5 is because of the lack of palm padding. The design of the DP15 is of course thin heel padding, but there is literally no palm padding in the glove. It has caused some stingers and made us consider returning it. But the feel of the ball is better, it's just going to take some getting used to. The lack of rebound with the lack of padding in the heel is great, but not sure why they left it out of the palm too.

Pros: I will try to answer questions I had. I bought this for 10 yr old planning to play 4th year of competative ball next year. He is very small (4'4", 60 lbs) with hand about 5.5 - 6 inches from palm to finger tip. leather quality is really good. The glove is not as stiff as A2000 but will still take some time to break in...just how we want it. I have small hands too and this Pedroia fit would be really tight on me. I did not try to force my hand in it. Purchased this to transition from a 2-yr old Akadema AZR95 11". The finger spacing is a little bigger than AZR but he says it is comfortable on his hand and is excited to break it in. Love the curved finger shaping. Definitly right size for a 10-13 yr old middle infielder. based on comparison to other glove in stores and on field, i believe this is a top performer for this age range. i expect it to hold shape well for several years. perfect size glove for 10-13 age and best quality aside from higher end Wilson series.
Cons: This has faux fur on the back of the hand, not the Wilson sweat wicking band on higher end models.
