Purchased for 12-year old son, only to learn that it is intended for High School and older. He has trouble closing due to size and strength of his hand. Never used in a game and recently sent off to Bullhide USA for break in service.
Copied from Wilson site: Put some of the game’s most high-tech materials to work with Jose Abreu’s Game Model Wilson A2K Super SnakeSkin + Spin Control mitt. This first baseman’s model has an extra-long 12.50” profile, making it an ideal choice for snagging errant throws. This mitt offers a silky black SuperSnake Skin shell AND Spin Control technology on the palm side for extra traction! Designed specifically to meet the demands of the world’s best players, this A2K Super SnakeSkin glove is a perfect choice for anyone from high school through the majors.
What sets this glove apart from the pack is Wilson’s ultra-premium Super SnakeSkin material. This material was developed by Wilson’s glove guru Shigeaki Aso to be lighter and two-times stronger than natural leather and also offers shorter break-in periods. For this A2K first base glove, Wilson uses Super SnakeSkin across the back of the glove and the brand’s Pro Stock leather elsewhere. This leather represents the top 5% of Wilson’s leather stock and offers an exceptional feel.
