Wilson remains a top-tier brand in the baseball world, with its 1786’s and DP15’s adorning infields far and wide. Renowned for pioneering baseball innovation, Wilson's reputation precedes it. However, behind the veil of its prominence lies a significant ambiguity:
"Pro Stock Leather." While not inherently negative, this term shields Wilson from precise classification and accountability. The exact nature of Pro Stock Leather remains undisclosed—whether it's steerhide, kip, or cowhide is left to speculation. Despite assumptions leaning towards steerhide, the lack of clarity raises questions.
The A1000 being crafted in the Pro Stock factory doesn't inherently signify superiority. The descriptor "Full Grain Leather" lacks specificity, leading to assumptions that it's cowhide due to its pebbly texture and softness.
ProLux adds to the mystique with its trademarked status and vague definition. While not necessarily disadvantageous, its connotation of comfort suggests a softer, potentially less durable material compared to traditional leather.
Nonetheless, Wilson gloves remain a solid choice, evidenced by their widespread popularity. From little league to the pros, the A2K and A2000 models find favor with thousands of players, testament to Wilson's enduring quality and performance.
