If you can live with that color scheme, it's a nice glove. Not a bad price, but you can find cheaper if you have the patience. (I never have the patience)
A few years ago, I tried to prove to some of the guys I play ball with that top of the line gloves were over-priced and over-hyped and that just as good a performing glove could be found at the bottom of the price spectrum. That's how I ended up with the Ecco leather Wilson and a bunch of others.
I ended up giving all the gloves away except for two - they were all THAT bad! And of the 2 I kept, one was a decent glove ($30 Louisville Slugger KMart special). The other is the Wilson Ecco leather - I only kept it to get a laugh out of people who can't believe how heavy the thing is.
If you care about quality (and by posting on this site, it seems like you do), then stick with the tried and true - A2000's, HOH, etc. etc. They're not that much more money, they'll last longer and like a navy blue suit, they'll never go out of style.

Posted: August 18th, 2008, 11:00 pmBlue is actually my favorite color and that's why it interested me so much. But my college colors are not blue, so I don't think that would fly. I might still buy it for summer ball because of the amazing look and sweet web.
