We really like the glove, but wish we would have gotten it during the off season maybe to allow more time to break it in. My daughter is 12 and she plays school ball and travel ball and is almost always a catcher, so she need a good solid glove and this is it. Very well constructed and it looks like and feels heavy duty, we were worried about spending so much, but feel we made a good decision.

Great glove! Bought for our 12yr old daughter who is a catcher for town and club softball. Takes some time to break in but definitely has more protection for her hand than a cheaper $100-$150 glove. If your daughter is gonna stick with catching do her catching hand a favor and buy her this!

UPDATE!! Almost a year later my daughter who still plays townball, summerball and club softball LOVES this glove. Superior protection for her hand. Its help her focus on her job behind the plate, not the 40-60mph pitches she sees from town to club teams. She conditions it regularly. Buy it, love it, keep it for years!

I needed a new softball glove as mine was ancient. I did a ton of research trying to find the right glove and I settled on an A2000. I could not be happier with this thing!! I have a size S/M hand so I was interested but slightly concerned about getting a glove meant for a women's hand. I fortunately was able to try this on in a store and it fit my hand just fine. The adjustable strap is very nice and makes it easy to customize fit. I saw a lot of reviews saying how stiff the glove was and breaking it in was going to be a pain. It took about a week of playing catch, rolling it up w/ a softball and leaving 30 lbs of weight on it each night and it was good to go. I played a game 1 week after receiving the glove and did not have a single issue.

Such a nice glove!! I'm writing this review 2 months after receiving it and the fit and feel is amazing!! Perfect for slow pitch softball if you have a smaller hand and/or don't want a bulky glove!!

Bought this to replace a 13" glove for my 17 year old who plays softball. My daughter loves the quality and the size. She plays 3rd on an 18u gold team and this glove size was recommended by her coach and she likes it a lot more than the bigger glove. It's expensive but it's worth it, she had mizuno in the past and likes this wilson a lot more than the mizuno. She likes how the pocket holds up and retains its shape, the mizuno has a very loose pocket that seemed to fail over time. This glove should last her a couple of years if not more so keep that in mind when your thinking about the cost, it will save you over the years.

This glove is super hard to break in. Don't buy if you need to use it right away. We have baked it, steamed it twice and hit gloved it. Plus my daughter uses it practices but still not in games. It's been over a month now.
