Product Review
In 1957, Wilson engineers went to Spring training to find out what players wanted in a glove. That year the first player designed glove, the Wilson A2000 was born. The A2000 featured a deeper pocket, wider web and a stiffer thumb, revolutionary designs that changed the game. Five decades later the A2000 continues to evolve featuring Pro Stock leather, known for its rugged durability and consistent performance and dual-welting for a stable, long lasting pocket.

The A2000 12-inch Fastpitch glove--a staple in the Wilson lineup for decades--has evolved once again in 2010 after thousands of hours of player feedback and testing. Wilson improved the pocket on each A2000 glove, making it even deeper to better meet the specific needs of fastpitch softball. At the same time, the glove continues to be made from the finest Pro Stock leather, providing professional players with rugged durability, unmatched feel, and consistent performance. And because Wilson spends three times as much time crafting and shaping an A2000 as any other glove--with no chemicals used at any time--the A2000 is remarkably soft off the shelf, holding your custom break-in more quickly.
Other features include a two-piece back closure and an ultra-breathable Dri-Lex wrist lining that transfers moisture from the skin, keeping your hand cool and dry.

i have an 11 year old softball player. got the glove for her this winter and by spring is was ready. did not take much to break it in. fits her hand as well as my hand easily. the glove is easy for her to manipulate and very rarely misses a ball that hits it. i recommend this glove very highly.

I bought this for my (13 year old now) daughter 2 seasons ago. She plays pitcher, SS, and 3rd base. This 12' glove is not too big for an infielder and will swallow a 12" ball. The size feels to be a 12" glove. It broke it in fairly quickly and the leather and laces are top notch. One problem I have with finding my daughter a glove is that she has very very small hands and needs the wrist strap on any glove. Without a wrist strap gloves will fall off of her hand at 5" 90 lbs. This glove is great for a female player with very small hands. It's big enough for a dad to get his hand in to break it in and small enough to accommodate a very small female hand. This was my daughters 1st real LEATHER glove and she complained about the weight so we didn't use it for a year. During the off season I had her use it and now the weight is not a factor. The weight is normal with this quality of leather. The leather is thick and of high quality all around the fingers, thumb, and pocket...Read more
