Loved the glove immediately out of the box. Bag was a nice touch!! Colors were rich, seams were clean. Glove smelled like a winner. Embroidery was very spot on. Leather feels more like an A2000 so was a bit apprehensive about break in. I don't wanna spend a year getting my glove to "that" spot. Had it about 4 weeks now. Play 2 games a week as well as coach travel ball. I'd say it's about 50% broke in. That's fine in my book. Only minus I would say is that for a "custom" glove, I wasn't able to get what I truly wanted embroidered. But it is what it is.... Overall, really happy.
