****Please
note that when I first purchased these gloves and took pictures, there
was little to no evidence of oil in the palm. Over the last several
months, most of the gloves have developed some degreee of oil in the
palm of the glove. This condition is not uncommon in many high end
gloves and is more noticable in the lighter colored leathers. This
condition is the result of the pre-oiling done at the factory.
Pre-oiling of the palm is part of the manufacturing process and over the
course of time, this oil can bleed thru into the glove pocket.
The Wilson A2K Series simply exudes greatness. These gloves were
meticulously developed with a focus on durability and a break-in faster
than you can imagine. Made from Pro Stock Select Leather, these gloves
use only the top 5% of all hides Wilson purchases and were triple sorted
for consistency and flawlessness. This unbelievable consistency in the
leather leads to a stronger pocket and an all around higher quality
glove. The A2K Series features Rolled Dual Welting where strips of Pro
Stock Leather are skived thin and rolled to provide long-lasting shape.
Inside, a thin, strategically cut piece of leather is placed between the
palm and outer shell, providing maximum pocket stability and improving
the durability where the most wear-and-tear is experienced. Its 2X Palm
Construction also provides maximum shock resistance during the catch.
A2K gloves showcase the time and passion that Wilson's craftsmen has put
into every single glove they produce, as their master technicians spend
3X longer pounding and shaping the glove by hand before it even leaves
the factory. That should be all the proof you need that the A2K from
Wilson was created with unparalleled craftsmanship, and is one of the
highest quality gloves a player could ever take to the diamond.
This Wilson A2K Series: A2KRB16PUDGE features a 32.50" pattern size, a
Half Moon Web, and was designed with the help of MLB Legend Ivan "Pudge"
Rodriguez.

TIP: Many of the premium gloves including Rawlings Pro Preferred & Heart of the Hide, Wilson's A2000 & A3000, Mizuno's Classic Pro and Pro Limited, etc. are somewhat stiff when brand new. A quality glove conditioner will do much to reduce the break-in period for any stiff new glove . Almost all glove conditioners will generally darken the leather and appearance of lighter colored gloves. If you buy a new glove and don't like the look of the pre-oiled palm area, condition the glove with a premium product such as Wilson's Pro Stock Glove Conditioner and the pocket/palm area will darken and blend in more with the rest of the glove.
TIP: Regardless of whether you prefer the natural method of breaking in a glove, sooner or later you will have to recondition your glove! Personally, I recommend cleaning and conditioning a glove each and every year after a good season of use. All leather gloves will start to dry out and laces will become brittle when subjected to regular use. Prolonged exposure to sand and dirt, wind, rain, hot sun, etc. will take its toll on even the very best glove. PLEASE stay away from those cheap oils, foams or other liquid products out there on the market. The foams don't work and liquids such as oils are absorbed deep into the glove, add a tremendous amount of weight, and are nothing more than a magnet for attracting dirt and debris. Also, PLEASE don't ever bake your baseball glove in the oven or microwave or soak it in the tub to aid in the break-in process. You will invariably destroy a very fine piece of leather and take years off a gloves life!
Personally, I never use anything but a paste type glove conditioner. Although I prefer Wilson Pro Stock Glove Conditioner, there are comparable products on the market from manufacturers such as Easton, Nokona, etc. Regardless of what brand of paste type conditioner you choose to use, do yourself a favor and make sure it contains lanolin and vitamin E. Nothing is better at restoring and revitalizing the leather on your glove! With a little care, your glove should last for many years and most likely outlive your baseball career.
