    Is it just me or does it seem like Aso would relace a Rawlings glove too just because he’s a genuine guy that loves baseball?

  • @kazunefei9606

    Hi Wilson, I use an A2000 1786, and its a great glove, but one thing. I put two fingers in the pinky sleeve, but every time I squeeze, it pinch's my ring finger. I've taken to taping my ring finger, but is this just a softness issue? I've had it since December 2016

    • @wilsonballgloves
      @wilsonballgloves  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Our gloves aren't necessarily made to have two fingers in the pinky, so if you do that and it feels tight, that would be why.
