Sweet A2000. You could get the same mitt by simply changing out the web. I put a single post on a B2 & it looks sweet....bet you can do that with your preferred size of the 1786 variations, G4, etc.
However, FYI - single posts look sweet, but it does tend to make your pocket play flat, so if you like pinkie to thumb breaks in general, you prob like deep pockets & may not like how the single post plays. I've seen several big league photos where they will severely loosen the lace to give the pocket more give.
Single Post are interchangable with I-web, B2, single patch, retro H-web....but do not match baskets, traps, Pro/modified H-webs as far as holes in the glove. However, running extra lace to fill the holes---making a wanna-be "v" lace anchor as you see on recent DCT 1B mitts make for an attractive arrangement on just about any glove. Also check that the long post running from pocket to finger tip is long enough to reach to the holes in the pocket....too long is a good thing as it will form a nicer/deeper/softer pocket-web area.
Local used sporting goods store, garage sales, your closet are excellent sources for webs. Ebay, not so much, as you will be bidding against guys who want the entire glove.
