Beautiful glove. The A2000's and R2G HOH at dicks feel like garbage in comparison. While the Pro1000HC may be built like a tank they are not heavy and break in will not be a problem.
Very nice ian! How’s the hand stall and wrist opening size, going to work out okay?

The boy runs TIP and says it feels fine. It has a couple extra holes to tighten the wrist strap but I don't think that's necessary.

Thanks for the lead on this glove. Already thinking of getting another.

Yes sir, been preaching the Pro1000 for several years now, no one ever listens to me! Glad he’s going to like it!

The thing about Morton’s, when they sell out of an exclusive like the Pro1000, RV23, PRO-T, etc. they’re gone! It could be 6 to 8 months (?) before their next run shows up! And then you never know what leather it’ll be? This current run is fantastic!

Picked up a different flavor.

The original will probably last him through HS. The laces are bullet proof. Just had to get another before they are gone.

Got to practice today at 4:45, our 8th grader 3B said “hey coach, go look in the dugout at what’s sitting on the bench!”

This girl has been using my very broken in Pro1000 for 4 or 5 weeks, she absolutely fell in love with the size and pattern, her dad got some details on it from me and ordered her one, man it’s nice! The 2019 is full Horween, the palm liner is the same as the shell leather, it’s stiff!View attachment 14132View attachment 14133
I'm not going to lie. I'm struggling to still break in this glove. i probably need to re-condition it but i'll use it for pitch and catch with my kid but its probably the most difficult break in glove to date.

They are an absolute brick when new. I played catch for a year with my son before it was game ready. Keep working at it. If you have access to a pitching machine to catch from that can speed up the process.


I dont see how the Pro1000HC will ever wear out. Laces will need to be repaired in another year or 2, maybe. I bought another just to have one.
