A2000, original web?

Looks like a Rawlings web in this sweet Pro-Stock A2000.

Waddaya all think?

Sure looks like Rawlings to me. Never seen a Wilson web like that.

I have trouble believing it fits right. Looks like a Pro Stock glove and could be customized, but I'm thinking the replacement web is too small and effects the way the glove closes/performs. The Seller also doesn't give us a real good look either. Just my $.02

We have here not only a rather novel glove but a seller who's also a bit of a puzzle. I pulled up some other gloves he's sold and he's had some nice and interesting gloves... AND he seems to KNOW his gloves. This glove has the pro stock number, but he doesn't mention that nor that the web is unusual for an A2. I'm guessing maybe Rawlings patent on the cross anchored web had expired and Wilson put it in or maybe since this was pro stock they just customized it. I've not seen another like it, has anyone else? He also says he's relaced the glove himself which requires a little talent and knowledge. Someone might email him for more info on this one.

dough! when i 1st saw this i assumed that it was a customized "pro issue". now that you mention it, it looks like a retro-fitted rawlings web (the holes seem to match up and the leather looks like from the same lot)

haha :oops:

fooled me
