[Wilson] WILSON STAFF DUAL Hardball Glove Outfielder Model D8S 2025 Spring/Summer Model

This is the 2025 Spring/Summer model of the hardball outfielder's glove from the DUAL series, a signature line for Wilson gloves.

DUAL refers to the structure where each finger has two lines (or "haves" - a stiffener/reinforcement along the finger).
While regular gloves have one, the DUAL series has two, making it resistant to losing the ball's momentum when catching. When catching the ball with the fingers, the DUAL structure allows the ball to drop into the pocket, making transfers smoother.

The D8S model is approximately 6mm smaller than the D8 model. Its compact size makes it feel lighter and improves handling. However, like the D8 model, the glove opens wide, allowing for secure catches of batted balls with a deep pocket.

The leather used is Pro Stock Steerhide from North America. It is free of quirks and molds well to any hand, regardless of the user.

You can also get the "Koyuni" (pinky-in-thumb) break-in, recommended by the manufacturer and directly taught by Mitsuhiko Nakamura of Wilson. The thumb stands firm, creating a pocket that makes reverse single catches easier. Additionally, using the Koyuni style reduces unnecessary tension and improves handling.


* If you choose the "Yu-Momi" (hot water) break-in, water stains or color transfer may occur. This does not affect its usability. Thank you for your understanding.
* If you choose the "Yu-Momi" break-in, processing will take approximately 2 weeks. Thank you for your understanding.
