Description

The Wilson A1000 series is made from the exclusive ECCO Leather. This is one of the highest grade game-ready leathers available. The A1000 series gloves also offer the new Dri-Lex technology. This Dri-Lex technology is an ultra-breathable wrist lining that transfers moisture away from the skin, keeping your hand cool and dry. A1000 series gloves also feature the patented Dual Welting system that offers a pre-curved finger design that helps maintain a stable and durable pocket. The Dual Welting technology is a patented design used exclusively by Wilson in the United States. Sorbothane, the new technology offered on the new A1000 series gloves, allows the shock-absorbing index pad to reduce the pressure on the hand while still allowing for maximum feel for the ball. This glove also offers the new Slotback design that provides the support and stability of a closed back, but with the flexibility and control of an open back. All patterns are endlessly field tested and constantly improved by hundreds of professional and top amateur players. Free Shipping.

Pros: Comfortable, good fit. Lots of room for different finger placement (I double up the pinky and ring finger in the pinky slot). Leather feels good, nice and tough. This is not a top-end glove, but it definitely feels like it will last for a good, long time. Good bang for your buck.

Cons: Leather is very tough at first, so patient break-in is necessary. Palm might be a tad thin, but I like the increased ball feel that results.

Pros: this glove is really good. works great for secondbase and shortstop.

Cons: takes a while to break in. when you catch it at high speed it will hurt because the leather near the palm is thin
