The 2027 A2K® DW5 is a 12” glove built for maximum range and unmatched quality at third base. Handmade in Japan by expert craftsmen, each A2K® is the product of decades of experience poured into hours of labor spent assembling, shaping and perfecting. Exclusive Double Palm Construction implements an additional layer of leather that maintains a smooth palm and ideal pocket shape during the break-in process and throughout the life of the glove by enhancing pocket stability.

The DW5 pattern was designed with one thing in mind: range. Extra-long fingers measure in at 12”, letting you lay out for line drives and rely on your reflexes to reach balls that would otherwise be a knock. The Dual Post Web is stable, sturdy and lightweight, allowing for fast hands and complete control once you corral the ball. Our trademark Dual Welting™ helps your glove maintain its structure throughout its life.

The A2K® is made with Pro Stock® Select leather, which represents just the top 5% of Wilson leather hides. We finely inspect every hide, with only the softest, most flawless pieces making the cut to be used for our most premium glove line. This glove’s Walnut and Blonde Pro Stock® Select leather with Red outlined logos creates a hot look appropriate for holding down the corner.

Specs:

• Pro Stock® Select Leather: Pro Stock® Select leather hides are triple-sorted, a fine inspection process reviewing the leather at least three times to identify the top 5% for ideal qualities of softness, stretch and durability.
• Double Palm Construction: Expert craftsmen insert an extra layer of thin leather between the palm shell and liner, extending along the palm and fingers to enhance pocket stability, form the glove during the break-in process and maintain its shape through frequent use.
• Rolled Dual Welting: Dual Welting in Wilson gloves goes beyond a mere cosmetic effect, as it’s integrated into the liner of each infield, outfield and pitcher's model, offering better support and helping your glove hold its shape better over time.
• Modified Finger Divider: Reduced divider between index and middle finger stalls, allowing players to comfortably shift two fingers to the pinky stall. When worn with the index finger outside the glove, the finger divider acts like a pad to improve comfort.
• DriLex Wrist Lining: Keeps your hand dry and comfortable on the field and behind the dish
• Bold Logos: Bold logos strip away the distractions, allowing outlined, eye-catching Wilson logos to announce a new era in the iconic story of Wilson Ball Gloves.
• Expert Japanese Craftsmanship: Manufactured entirely in Japan by craftsmen who have been making ball gloves for decades, the A2K is formed to the perfect shape over 18 hours of labor.
