Pro-Level Performance in a Bold Black / Mint Colorway
The Summit Pro 1417 brings a traditional American infield pattern updated with modern premium construction — and in Black / Mint, it does it with unmistakable on-field presence. This isn't a glove that blends in. The striking colorway pairs with a build that delivers at the plate, on the dirt, and in the gaps.
At the core of the 1417 is a deep pocket engineered to swallow the ball and give you a greater margin of error whether it finds your palm or your web. Backed by a natural two-hinge heel, the glove closes cleanly from thumb to ring finger or thumb to pinky — adapting to your hand over time through regular use. From advanced youth leagues to the professional ranks, the 1417 earns its spot in the starting lineup at every level of infield play.

Why the Deep Pocket Sets the 1417 Apart
The Summit Pro 1417's deep pocket is its defining characteristic — and it's the reason corner infielders and hard-contact specialists trust this model. While shallow-pocket designs prioritize the fastest possible transfer, the 1417 prioritizes ball security on every play. Hard-hit grounders, short hops off the dirt, diving stops on the backhand — the deep pocket keeps the ball where it belongs. When the margin between a clean play and an error is razor-thin, the 1417 gives you the buffer to make it look routine.
Break-In Profile That Works With Your Hand
Japanese Kip leather has a tighter grain structure than traditional American steerhide, which means the 1417 will feel noticeably game-ready earlier in the break-in process without sacrificing the long-term durability you need from a gamer. The two-hinge heel develops a natural flex point with regular use, gradually conforming to the unique shape of your hand and preferred wearing style. Apply quality glove conditioner, play consistent catch, and use light mallet work to accelerate the process — then maintain it with conditioning throughout the season and off-season storage.

Frequently Asked Questions – Emery Summit Pro 1417
What makes the 1417 a traditional American-style infield glove?
The Summit Pro 1417 follows a traditional American infield pattern — deeper and more forgiving than Japanese-inspired designs. Its updated deep pocket secures the ball on contact with the palm or web, giving infielders a larger margin of error on hard-hit ground balls, short hops, and off-angle plays. It's a confidence-first design built for players who want to be aggressive in the field.
How does the Summit Pro 1417 close?
The 1417 uses a natural two-hinge heel that allows the glove to close from thumb to ring finger or thumb to pinky depending on how you wear and break it in. This design flexibility accommodates a wide range of hand shapes and personal preferences, letting the glove develop a natural closure pattern that's specific to your hand over time.
What leather is in the Summit Pro 1417 Black/Mint?
The shell and palm liner are both crafted from hand-selected Japanese Kip leather — chosen for its tighter grain, faster break-in period, and long-term structural durability. The thumb holster and finger backs are lined with Cabretta leather for premium comfort, and the glove is laced with Tennessee Tanning Company lace for maximum strength throughout the life of the glove.
What web does the Summit Pro 1417 use?
The 1417 features an I-web for a softer overall feel and fast ball transfers. The open web design improves visibility on infield pop-ups and keeps the glove feeling light and flexible — critical for infielders who need a quick first step on every pitch.
Who should use the Summit Pro 1417?
The 1417 is designed for advanced youth players through professionals who prefer the forgiveness and security of a traditional American infield pattern. It's an especially strong fit for corner infielders and third basemen who handle harder-hit contact, as well as any infielder who values ball security over the fastest possible pocket release.
How quickly does the Summit Pro 1417 break in?
Japanese Kip leather breaks in faster than traditional American steerhide while maintaining its structure significantly longer. The 1417 will feel game-ready earlier than most premium leather gloves, with the two-hinge heel naturally conforming to your hand through regular catch sessions and field work. Standard conditioning and light mallet work will further accelerate the process.
