A custom catcher’s mitt is worth it when you already know your exact size, pocket depth, web style and leather grade — and you plan to catch in it for three or more seasons. If either half of that sentence does not fit, buy off the rack: a stock Heart of the Hide or A2000…
An independent NO E2 review: 85 liters, nine pockets, a three-year wheel warranty, and the size complaint owners actually make. Plus NO E2 vs Commander.
The Wilson A2000 costs $130 more than the A1000. That buys Pro Stock leather, a real choice of sizes and a couple more seasons — here is when it is worth it.
