Description: BRAND NEW W/ TAGS WILSON A2K PRO STOCK SELECT M1D SUPER SNAKE SKIN CATCHERS MITT 33.5" WBW1008973351786 RH (Right Hand Throw) Retails at $399.99. PLEASE NOTE THE CAMERA FLASH HAS A TENDENCY TO LIGHTEN AND/OR DISTORT CERTAIN COLORS. THE COLOR OF THE GLOVE IS BLACK & TAN WITH WHITE PIPING. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE COLOR OF THIS GLOVE PLEASE REFER TO THE MANUFACTURER'S WEBSITE OR THE LISTED STOCK PICTURES (#1 & 2). PLEASE NOTE THIS GLOVE IS VERY STIFF AND WILL REQUIRE AN EXTENSIVE BREAK-IN PERIOD. The A2K series takes everything that ballplayers love about Wilson baseball mitts and kicks it up an extra notch! The Pro Stock Select leather that is used to build this line has been triple sorted in Wilson's factories. This intensive selection process results in only the top 5% of Wilson-selected hides being used to create these mitts. To assist that incredible leather is the Dual Palm construction which consists of a thin piece of material strategically placed between the palm of the shell and the palm of the inner-hand lining. This small piece does wonders to the mitt as it adds to the structure of the shell. As well, it rids A2K mitts of palm wrinkles which have been known to cause baseballs to pop out of the grasp of other mitts.This mitt will do what is needed for a top-quality catcher. The 33.5-inch circumference will allow it to set a large target for your entire pitching staff. As well, the extended pocket should prevent rebounding of the baseball out of the mitt's grasp while trying to catch it. Lastly, this model is designed to also have a deep pocket that has been found to help with picking fastballs out of the dirt.

A quality glove conditioner will do much to reduce the break-in period for any stiff new glove . Almost all glove conditioners will generally darken the leather and appearance of lighter colored gloves. If you buy a new glove and don't like the look of the pre-oiled palm area, condition the glove with a premium product such as Wilson's Pro Stock Glove Conditioner and the pocket/palm area will darken and blend in more with the rest of the glove. TIP: Regardless of whether you prefer the natural method of breaking in a glove, sooner or later you will have to recondition your glove! Personally, I recommend cleaning and conditioning a glove each and every year after a good season of use. All leather gloves will start to dry out and laces will become brittle when subjected to regular use. Prolonged exposure to sand and dirt, wind, rain, hot sun, etc. will take its toll on even the very best glove. PLEASE stay away from those cheap oils, foams or other liquid products out there on the market. The foams don't work and liquids such as oils are absorbed deep into the glove, add a tremendous amount of weight, and are nothing more than a magnet for attracting dirt and debris. Also, PLEASE don't ever bake your baseball glove in the oven or microwave or soak it in the tub to aid in the break-in process. You will invariably destroy a very fine piece of leather and take years off a gloves life! Personally, I never use anything but a paste type glove conditioner. Although I prefer Wilson Pro Stock Glove Conditioner, there are comparable products on the market from manufacturers such as Easton, Nokona, etc. Regardless of what brand of paste type conditioner you choose to use, do yourself a favor and make sure it contains lanolin and vitamin E. Nothing is better at restoring and revitalizing the leather on your glove! With a little care, your glove should last for many years and most likely outlive your baseball career.
