"There is an unmatched feel and control with leathers that mesh just can't touch—the ball sits in a defined channel, giving you precise awareness on every cradle. It’s timeless craftsmanship that feels like an extension of your hands. If you want a pocket with personality and elite-level ball security, this is the pinnacle of the Owen Sound pro-shop." — Colton
The Build
- Head: Warrior EVO V (White) – The ideal "Traditional" canvas due to its symmetrical sidewall holes and mid-profile offset.
- Leathers: Premium Natural Tan Leather – Four heavy-duty center rails that will "mold" to the ball over time for a custom fit.
- Crosslace: High-Tensile White Bootlace – Hand-interlocked to create the structural "diamonds" that define the pocket.
- Sidewall: White Tactical Twine – Reinforced to pull the leathers tight and eliminate "bagging."
- Shooters: Dual White Nylon – Set for a smooth, classic release that mirrors the natural arc of the pocket.
Performance Profile
- Pocket Position: Custom/Adaptive (Traditional leathers naturally shift and settle based on where the player cradles most).
- Channel: Elite/Defined (The four-leather track creates a "rail" system that mesh cannot replicate).
- Whip Level: 2/5 (Balanced and smooth; traditional is known for a clean "pop" rather than a heavy "tug").
- Maintenance: Active (Requires occasional adjustment/tightening of the leathers)
