Wilson A2K Gloves

The A2K series doesn't come out till mid june.

there are places alread selling them,
linedrive.com is, and baseballwarehouse.com

ok, never mind, baseballwarehouse is preorder, but it doesn't say on linedrive.com
I think with my savings I will have by then, I just might buy one. Sweet looking glove.

It is supposed to be just like the A2000, just different color and "Finer attention to detail"

I would assume it's basically an A2000, with a new color then.

yeah, but a better color. How much does it cost?

They are $279 at linedrive

Wow, that is dumb. The regular A2000's are $179.99, the new glove probably is just a different color, what a rip off.

That's what I said. When they come out, I want to go find one and see if they really are any better. Also, does anyone know if they will be replacing the old A2000 models, and only have like the A2K series, and the A3000 series? That would suck, I don't want to spend an extra 100 bucks on a glove for a new color.

Most places will sell a2K's for 249.99. August 1st all regular a2000 gloves will go up to 199.99 as well.

More selective leather on A2K's. Meaning only the best of the best leather will be used, real pro quality.

Thats freaking stupid. Why raise the price. Are they still gonna keep the kip leather series?

Because it's better leather. The $179 gloves do not use the same leaher as the you will find on a pro's hand.

Just like wood bats, the best wood and leather go to MLB and also those willing to pay for it, the rest, which is still fairly decent goes on the shelf of your local sporting goods store.

Don't know about the kip, I'd stick with the steerhide.

so even though the a2000's the pros use look identical to the regular ones, they get custom made, top leather gloves? I didn't know that. I thought it was odd that you could buy the exact same glove a pro uses in a sporting goods store. Now even more useless trivia knowledge.

The gloves you see on T.V ARE the same quality we can buy in the store. Guys that use "Heart of the hide" gloves are using a $169.99 glove.The only upper level leather A2000 is the Kip and the new A2K, Same on MLB players and lil Timmy at the local sandlot.
On another subject..has anyone noticed Josh Beckett using an RBK glove this year? i'm thinking it is a special makeup just for him.

I beg to differ.

ok and I BEG for your differ.

Yeah I have. Well Reebok has been some what in the baseball industry with cleats and batting gloves. I'm guessing they gave a few major league players, including Josh Beckett a glove to test out. And based on their feedback, they'll sell them in stores or not.

ahhhh. Don't I wish I could have as many gloves of any model I want, and get paid to use them. And they think they have a rough life.

Thanks RHbaseball..thats kind of what i was thinking.Must of been alot of money to get hiim away from Wilson.
