Pre-broken-in: Wilson Staff Dual Hardball Infield Glove, 86 pattern

This is a hardball outfield glove from the DUAL series, which is synonymous with Wilson gloves.

DUAL refers to a structure with two lines (lacing) on each finger.
While standard gloves have one, the DUAL series has two, making it more resistant to the force of the ball during catches. When catching the ball with the fingers, the DUAL structure allows the ball to fall into the pocket, enabling smoother transfers.

It adopts the 86 model.
It is used by a wide range of players, from professional baseball players to famous baseball YouTubers.
Three pockets arranged vertically enable quicker transfers.
In addition, "flat binding" is used in the edge leather part.
Special stitching around the index finger allows for smoother extension of the index finger.

The leather used is Pro Stock Steerhide from North America. It has no peculiarities and fits comfortably in anyone's hand, regardless of the user.

It comes with a "Ko-Uni" breaking-in, as recommended by the manufacturer and taught by Wilson's Gota Nakata (model used by Sosuke Genda). The thumb is firmly upright, creating a pocket that makes reverse-hand catches easier. Also, by using Ko-Uni, unnecessary tension is released, improving handling.
