Please explain the difference between the leather quality of the A2000 and the A1K. Does it feel stiff like a pro stock model or flimsy like a Yak series glove? DP
The Wilson A1K Series: A1KBB4DP15 features the patterns and the construction used for the pros' gloves and updates them to offer a more snug fit. The leather will be a Jet Black top shelf leather. There should be no flimsy parts to the glove.
Brandon
How does this match up with the A2000 since they both have pro stock leather? Bigbaseballer
The Wilson A1K Series: A1KBB4DP15 is a quality glove and is very similar to the A2000. The construction provides a smaller fit and is a great choice for a transitional player.
Kara
Would this be good for a 13 year old with small hands? Johnny
The Wilson A1K Series: A1KBB4DP15 would be a great option for a player with small hands. The narrow finger stalls are ideal for a smaller player.
Kara
Would I be able to fit two fingers in one stall since the finger slots are smaller on this glove? Ballplayer
The Wilson A1K Series: A1KBB4DP15 glove is a transition size and the finger stalls are smaller, which most likely would not accommodate two fingers.
Aubrey
My son just turned 11 years old and has smaller than average hands. Plays third base and outfield. Currently playing in a 11 inch glove that has become too floppy. Would you recommend the A1KBB4DP15 11.5 inch glove until transition to adult glove? Or is there something else comparable that you would recommend? Does it only come in black? Thanks. NBV
Yes, the Wilson A1K would be a great transitional glove. The A1K will require some break in period but will hold its form for multiple years. The smaller wrist opening will be ideal for your son's smaller hands. The A1KBB4DP15 is only available in the Jet Black color.
John
What is the difference between this glove and the DP15 other than the price? Zman
The Wilson A1K will be designed for a younger player. It will still feature a high quality leather but will have smaller finger stalls and fit tighter around the wrist. The Wilson DP15 is going to be an adult model.
John
Are the narrow finger stalls too small for a 13 year old with regular size hands? BD
The narrower finger stalls are designed for adults with smaller hands. They may be too small for someone with regular size hands.
Tori
Would this glove be good for a 16 year old high school player? muzuic
The Wilson A1K Series: A1KBB4DP15 would be a great choice for a high school middle infielder who likes a tighter-fitting glove. The entire A1K features the Pedroia Fit, so it will feel overall more snug on the player's hand.
Mac
Does it have long floppy laces so you can click them? CBO13
Yes. The Wilson A1K Series: A1KBB4DP15 is the Dustin Pedroia model, so it has the longer laces.
Damon
Does this glove keep its shape well? lfm
The Wilson A1K Series: A1KBB4DP15 is made with quality leather and should maintain its shape well.
Tori
Is the Wilson A2K Series Dustin Pedroia Model: A2K0BB4DP15GM to big in the hand for an 11 year old compared to the Wilson A1K Series: A1KBB4DP15? Lou
Both the Wilson A2K Series Dustin Pedroia Model: A2K0BB4DP15GM and the Wilson A1K Series: A1KBB4DP15 will have the same snug fit. The A2K Dustin Pedroia will have a higher quality leather than the A1K.
Damon
Does the A1K come in SuperSkin like the A2000? Anonymous
The Wilson A1K Series is not currently produced in a SuperSkin option. The A1K Series: A1KBB4DP15 is constructed from Wilson's Jet Black Top Shelf leather that offers a quick break-in period and a pretty lightweight feel on its own.
Mac
How is the padding on this glove? ni
The Wilson A1K Series: A1KBB4DP15 does not feature any additional padding technology in the palm, but it does offer protection on the catch. Feel free to check it out for yourself with our 100 Day Money-Back Guarantee: http://www.justballgloves.com/customer-service/guarantee/
Mac
How does Top Shelf Leather compare to Kip and Pro Stock leather? middleinfielder
Top Shelf Leather is used only on A1Ks because it is durable enough to last multiple seasons, but requires less break in than an A2000. Kip and Pro Stock leather will both be durable, but may require a slightly longer break in period.
Tori

The Wilson A1K Series: A1KBB4DP15 features very high quality leather. The leather is very strong, durable, and will last several years with good maintenance.

Gary T.
Would you recommend this for a 14 year old infielder? Is this leather comparable to the A2000? mksk2000
Yes, the Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB4DP15) would fit a 14 year old middle infielder. The glove will have a skinnier wrist opening and more narrow finger stalls compared to a regular A2000. The leather will be comparable with an A2000. Although, the A2000's Pro Stock leather will still be slightly higher in quality.

The Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB4DP15) would be a great choice and is used in all levels of baseball. It will be built to fit a smaller hand and smaller wrist. The A2000 and A2K leather types are just more popular in the MLB currently.

What is the difference in the A1KRB16DP15 as opposed to other A2000s? Rob D
This Wilson A1K Series (A1KBB4DP15) will differ from a DP15 mitt that is an A2000 because the leather quality featured on this A1K mitt is below the quality featured on an A2000 mitt. However, the fitting between the A1K and the A2000 in the DP15 style will be the same.
