Morton's always has a 10% off coupon, that puts it inline with a plain old retail HOH or A2000 at Dick's! And this exclusive definitely isn't a plain old retail glove!

Found another one of my old Jtan Pro1000.
How do you remove 2/3 of the heel padding? I agree, I bought a HoH Rawlings and was totally impressed with the lack of heel padding. What is it even there for, to protect against a misplayed bobbled ball stinger?
After reading @Schmick's Gloves maintenance thread, I've purchased some glove pocket adhesive and I'm going to get after the gloves that we have.. I've already looked to buy a lace skiver!! Last question, how would you go about replacing the XRD with a felt pad?
Welcome to the He-Man, Velcro-Haters club!Well, the pics and 10% discount were all I needed to push me over the edge.Got one on the way! Thanks.
As far as heel padding, are you talking about a Wilson? The felt may be doubled up and it’s as simple as removing half of the felt, or buying a thinner piece of felt. I’ve never done a A2000 before. Paging @Schmick's Gloves!
Every glove I buy or order, I make sure they have leather palm pads (if they even have a palm pad), I never buy gloves with a Poron XRD palm pads!
I imagine you could cut a piece of 1/8” F3 felt large enough so it can’t move / slide around, glue it and punch some holes to lace it in with the palm lace.
Wonder if leather and a thinner piece of felt can be sandwiched in together, glued, and then laced in place?

I have 3 or 4 gloves that I'd like to start working on, a Nokona catchers mitt, a wilson A2000 12" needing some pocket adhesive, and finally, I'd like to refurb my DD's wilson catchers mitt. I'd work on them in order so for the one that really matters, the wilson catchers mitt, I'd hopefully not screw it up. That one needs pocket adhesive and I think the palm pad is XRD. If it is, I need to have a plan before taking it apart.
@Schmick's Gloves have you ever had a A2000 FP catchers mitt apart?
One of you awesome Dad’s should order one of these Horween ProT’s and do a nice review on it here!
