4 almost identical gloves-need help

Postby WilsonA1000 » August 15th, 2008, 6:35 pm

Im trying to find the closest thing to my 11" Wilson A1000. I found 4 very similar models, all 11.25", so I need someone to take a look at them and tell me which is the best and closest to mine. My current A1000 has a "power snap" piece connecting the wrist band to the last finger. It also has a "grip tight pocket" and a finger pad. Those are the only things that really matter. It is model # A1420 BB2 , brown with black webbing and lacing.

The pocket cut-out looks different for this one.

Whatever you do, don't get the ecco leather... it's very heavy

So should I go with the second one? It has Vortex leather. Is that better?

I don't know anything about Vortex leather. I just know that I have a wilson with ecco leather and that glove weighs more than my catchers mitt. I weighed it once (the ecco glove) and I think it was 2 and a quarter pounds - that's a heavy glove! And I never once oiled it or got it wet. It was heavy right out of the bag.

With no experience with Vortext leather, I hate to send you in that direction only to find out it's a poor choice.

Are you sure you wouldn't like an A2000?

if you're patient, you could probably (don't quote me) win an a2000 for around $100 + shipping. used ones go for less and are much better leather (with free leather piping)

WOW! how about those shipping costs. :shock:
That really pisses me off when I see that. We all know (more or less) what it costs to ship a glove.

Uh, yea, $9.80 in a flat rate box, less if you take it to the PO and get it weighed.

Okay, so I found some A2000s:

http://www.batterup.zoovy.com/product/B ... _campaign=

And then the one A1000 (very similar to the second A2000) I am probably leaning to this one just beacuse I am used to the A1000 with Vortex leather.
