This looks like it's in between the Wilson A1000 and A450, which would make sense, since this is an A465. Both of those are more expensive than this sale price. It looks just like several of those models' designs as well. I actually like the stamp on the middle of the palm and the lack of the hugh "A1000" across the finger on the outside. Anyway, both get pretty great reviews. Since the A465 doesn't exist in the wild, I'm assuming this is some type of special (as in made for a specific seller or sales demographic) model. I play baseball with my son (5) all the time. He can't get enough baseball time, which is great. Unfortunately, I lost both my very expensive Rawlings (left on a field) and my old faithful Nolan Ryan (25 years... ugh...) in the same year. This seems like a perfect solution. I'm probably going to get two.
However, before doing so, I'm going to go by Academy on the way home and try on a 12" Wilson A1000. They should fit almost exactly the same. And, different models of gloves fit differently. Some of the 12" gloves are fine for me, but some are a little tight requiring the 12 1/2" glove. (had to word that last sentence carefully!) I'm hoping that this isn't sold out by then, and that this model fits correctly.
