What's the deal with Wilson gloves in the special pro-model design?

Since the event, Wilson's popularity at ShuSpo has been unstoppable!!
Wilson's top three popular infielder models - 86, 87, and 1723 - are being chosen by a wide range of players, from female athletes to high school baseball players ♪

The biggest feature of the Ko-Yuni glove is that it allows for a deep pocket, enabling secure catching of the ball.

In recent years, more and more players have been reevaluating their strength training and body usage to improve their performance.
Ball speed is also increasing year by year.
It's difficult to catch fast and strong batted balls with a shallow-pocketed glove.

Wilson gloves, of course, allow for a deep pocket, but they also allow you to create three pockets vertically.

If you time the bounce correctly, you can catch the ball in pocket ① or ②, and if you think "I misjudged the bounce" or "This is bad," you can secure it in pocket ③.
So, you can take a chance and get an out with a jumping throw or a running throw!!!

However...
"A deep pocket might slow down ball transfers."
"It might be hard to tell where the ball is after catching it." Some people might think that...

Don't worry!
Wilson uses a unique dual structure in the finger area.

Because it's more rounded than a regular glove, even if you catch the ball outside the pocket, the ball naturally gathers into the pocket.
So, the place where you transfer the ball doesn't change, no matter where you catch it!!

Immediately after switching to Ko-Yuni, you might feel a bit of discomfort until you get used to it, but once you do, you won't be able to use anything else (・∀・)ﾆﾔﾆﾔ

As you can see from the picture of the palm, the fingertip area (red) is wider and the heel area (blue) is narrower.
We often describe it as having a wide entrance and a narrow exit!

This design makes it easy for the ball to enter and difficult for it to come out once inside.
Have you ever dropped the ball during your step after catching it?
If you play infield, I think everyone has experienced that at some point.
That's because the heel part is wide, and the exit is wide.
Wilson gloves drastically reduce these errors.
You can carry any batted ball all the way through to the throw!!!

Another good thing about Ko-Yuni is that it's easy to catch backhanded.

Of course, it's easier to catch because the pocket is deep, but it also allows you to hold the glove upright properly, so you can catch the ball in a natural hand position.

"Was backhanded catching really this easy?"
You'll feel that way!!

As Mr. Nakamura would say, it's not "grabbing it," but "it gets grabbed" (lol).
We have shaping samples available in the store, and when you actually use them for catch and ground balls, you'll understand what he means.

~Summary~
First and foremost, the most important thing is to choose a glove that the player finds easy to use.
It would make us happy if you could keep Ko-Yuni as one of those options.
A Ko-Yuni specification glove might feel a bit daunting at first, but once you get used to it, I think you'll be able to use it without any problems.
Especially players who "like deep-pocketed gloves" or "tend to fumble with their current glove" should definitely give it a try.
