What is the difference between A2K and A1K? Nate
The A2K is going to be Wilson's top of the line glove that they offer. Wilson will only use the top 5% Pro Stock Leather to produce the A2K models. The A1K leather is going to be very similar to an A2000 model. A big difference between the A2K model and the A1K models is that the A1K is going to have smaller finger stalls and fit tighter around the wrist. It will be ideal for a competitive player transitioning between a youth an adult model.
John
I have a 10 year old playing travel baseball and we are at the point of needing a new glove for him which will give him confidence at 3rd base. His current glove is beat up and he is ready to take it to next level on the field to compete. I like the description on this glove because of the snug fit. Is this the glove for him, or should we go with the A2000? What is your recommendation? Greensoxs bbc
The Wilson A1K Series: A1KBB41788 is a great option for 10 year old travel players, as the A1Ks are designed with a snug fit. It makes a great transitional glove for players stuck in between an adult and youth model, with a higher quality feel than most youth models. This 11.25" pattern with an I-Web is perfect for third baseman.
Katie
14 y/o shortstop looking for a true shortstop model, smaller for quicker transition. Is this what we are looking for? Gophers
The Wilson A1K Series: A1KBB41788 fits smaller than other Wilson models. This would be a great option for a shortstop.
Kara
What's the difference between the A1K 1788 and the A2000 1788? anthony
The leather quality and fit are the differences between the Wilson A1K Series: A1KBB41788 and 11.25" A2000 Series. The A1K Series is made from Wilson's Top Shelf Leather while the A2000 Series features their Pro Stock American Steerhide. Also, the A1K models feature a tighter fit on the players' hand, much like the Pedroia fit on the A2000 DP15 model.
Mac
Is the Wilson A1K a good choice for a 12 year old shortstop? Is the 11.25" the smallest size, or does it come in a 11"? Redhawk
The Wilson A1K Series: A1KBB41788 is a great choice for 12 year old middle infielders, as it has a snug fit, which is great for younger players, and uses a high quality steerhide that breaks in quick and has excellent durability. The 11.25" is the smallest size it comes in, which is a great size for middle infielders ages 12 and up.
Katie
Is the Wilson A1K 11.25 a good glove for a 12 year old second baseman? wilsonlover
Based on your age and position, an 11.50" size would be a better fit for you. You could go down and use a 11.25" as well, which is what a Wilson A1k Series: A1KBB41788 is.
Tessa L.
A lot of people are making this glove sound like it is only for young kids and not high school players is that true? Trevor
The Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB41788) is a good quality glove. This glove is great for high school players as well as transitional players at a younger age.
Jackson
How does this compare to the A2000 Youth 1786 Showcase? In terms of fit for a 9 year old travel ball player with a small hand? Does either glove have more padding in the palm than the other? brad
Yes, the Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB41788) will also feature the smaller wrist opening and skinnier finger stalls like the A2000 Youth 1786. The padding will be similar in both models also. They would both be perfect for a youth travel both player.
Brandon
What is the difference between the DP15 model and the 1788 model? hank
The Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB4DP15) is an 11.50 inch pattern while the Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB41788) features an 11.25 inch pattern
Bobby
Moving up from a 10.5" glove for an 11 year old middle fielder. Not sure if the 11.25" or 11.50" makes more sense. Would like the glove to take him at least to high school. Decided on a A1K, now figuring out what size? Buckeye
The 11.50" Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB4DP15) is a better option if you want a glove he can use for several years. He will most likely grow out of the 11.25" Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB41788).
Kara
My son is 10 years old. He is 4 foot 11 and weighs 113 pounds. Should he get a 11.25 inch glove or an 11.50 inch model? Scott S
Preference between the Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB41788) 11.25 inch model and the Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB4OTIF) 11.50 inch model would be more based on what the player is comfortable with rather than their size. Both would be nice options. The 11.25 inch design would be a bit lighter so more maneuverable but would not be offer the added length to more easily snag a ball.
Patrick
I'm 11 years old and my old glove is breaking down. I play shortstop and a little bit of second base. Will this be a good glove for me? BaseballShortstop127
Yes, the Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB41788) is designed for players typically 9-13 years old. It's constructed with high end leather and is designed for serious players with smaller hands.
John H
My son is 10 years old. He is 4'4" tall and weighs 64 lbs. He has small hands and wrists. He plays second base. Would the wrist opening for the Wilson A1KBB41788 be too big? He tried on a Wilson A2000 DP model glove and he felt it was a little too big. Leftydad
Yes, the Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB41788) and its 11.25" size should fit better than the 11.50" model of the A2000DP15 model. It would be perfect for a 10 year old second baseman.
Brandon
What is the difference between the A1K BB and the A1K DP15? I want to know because my hands are fairly small and I want to know if I should play with the DP or the BB. Seth
The Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB4DP15) is an 11.50 inch pattern, while the Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB41788) features an 11.25 inch pattern. Both gloves are made with smaller wrist openings and shorter finger stalls with a tighter fit in mind.
Tessa
I am 13 years old, and I'm looking for a glove that will last a long time. Do you think I should get the 11.25" in this model? Or an 11.50" in the A2000? Matthew
If you are looking for a model to last you a while, I would probably move up to the 11.50" in the Wilson A2000 Baseball Glove: (A2000BBDP15GM).
Merritt
Are there any other differences between the A1KBB41788 and the A1KBB4DP15 besides the pattern size? raybob
Besides the pattern size, the Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB41788) and the Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB4DP15) will be very similar in terms of overall design.
Patrick
I am 14 years old and I play second base. I am looking for a glove that will last 3 years. Do you recommend this glove? pelotero
The Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB41788) is considered more of a youth glove and is typically suited for players younger than 12. The Wilson A2000 Baseball Glove (A2000BB1788) might be a better option for a 14 year old.
Jason
I just turned thirteen and I play 2nd base. Do you think this glove will last me a long time? Will it be good for me? my budget is under 200. Jack
The Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB41788) is a youth transitional model, so it does feature slightly smaller finger and wrist stalls. A 13 year old is in the age range for this particular fit. It is a very high quality model though, and will last a while as long as it is taken care of.
Jason
I am 13 years old, wanting a glove to last, I am 5'2" tall and weigh 105 pounds. I also like a snug fit. Should I get the A1K or the A2000 in 11.25 inches? Joeg Glowack
The Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB41788) will feature narrower finger stalls and a smaller wrist opening to give you a snug fit. This A1K is a high quality glove that will be very durable.
Tom
I am 5 foot 11 and 200 pounds. I am playing short and 2nd. What glove size would be good, 11 1/2 or a 11 3/4? baseball kid 33
Typically, for middle infield positions, an 11.5 inch glove would be more commonly used. A smaller glove like the 11.25 inch Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB41788) could work if you are able to play well with a smaller pocket.
Patrick
Is this glove the 2015 or older version of the A1KRB161788? Are there any major features of this glove that are missing compared to the new 2016 glove? Jim
This Wilson A1K Series: A1KBB41788 was actually released in October of 2013. These two gloves are extremely similar in regards to features but the A1KRB161788 was actually modeled after the Wilson A2K and the A2000 patterns. Both the A1KBB41788 and the A1KRB161788 are going to have top shelf leather, a quicker break in period, and a smaller wrist opening with tighter finger stalls. The difference is going to be in the 2016 model as it features a rolled dual welting which allows the glove to retain its shape better over time as well as a Dri-Lex wrist lining which provides an ultra breathable and moisture wicking material. In conclusion, both gloves are great choices and there is no bad option in this situation.
