Wilson Staff DUAL Series: Hardball Security and Pocket Depth – The 87 Style

The Wilson Staff Hardball Series represents the perfect intersection of precision technical engineering and professional player feedback. This specific model features the iconic 87 Pattern, Wilson's quintessential deep-pocket layout designed for infielders who demand absolute ball-securing confidence and maximum coverage.

• The Legendary 87 Pattern: Built on a slightly larger 11.75-inch blueprint, the 87 pattern features a deep, enveloping pocket layout. This vertical orientation locks the ball in securely upon impact, making it ideal for third basemen handling hot shots down the line and shortstops making diving stops in the hole.

• DUAL Welting Technology: Wilson's signature technological core features two lines of rolled welting along each finger back. This provides unparalleled structural rigidity, ensuring the finger slots never bend backward or collapse under the heavy impact of hardball play.

• Two-Fingers-in-the-Pinky (2B) Optimization: Specifically engineered to excel with a "two-fingers-in-the-pinky" leverage style, this pattern maximizes closing power and leverage, ensuring effort-free pocket closure during intense catches.

• Pro-Grade Structural Rigidity: Built up to rigorous Japanese high school and collegiate hardball competition standards, ensuring long-lasting shape retention and peak performance under heavy game use.

Technical Features & Materials

• Premium Pro Stock Steer Leather: The entire glove utilizes hand-selected Pro Stock Steerhide, celebrated for its tight fiber density, rugged durability, and crisp tactile feedback that professional hardball players rely on.

• Deer Soft Internal Lining: To elevate comfort and control, the inner palm and finger linings undergo specialized "Deer Soft" conditioning. This premium treatment mimics the ultra-smooth texture of deerskin, absorbing moisture while creating a secure, slip-resistant fit that feels like a natural extension of your hand.

Measurement Details

• Size Measurement: Measured from the index fingertip along the exterior curve of the glove back down to the heel of the wrist. Every glove is meticulously measured according to this international standard.
