Traditional American Power, Modern Pro Construction
The Summit Pro 1417 takes a different approach than Japanese-inspired infield patterns. This is a classic American-style infield glove — updated with a new, deeper pocket that fully swallows the baseball and gives you a greater margin of error whether the ball finds your palm or your web. That forgiveness is everything when you're ranging to your backhand or charging a slow roller with runners on base.
The natural two-hinge heel lets the glove close cleanly from thumb to ring finger or thumb to pinky — adapting to your hand shape and wearing style naturally over time. From advanced youth players to professionals using it as their everyday gamer, the 1417 earns its keep at every level of the infield.

The Deep Pocket Difference
The defining feature of the 1417 is its deep pocket — and that's a deliberate design choice. While some infield models prioritize a shallow pocket for lightning-fast transfers, the 1417 prioritizes ball security and fielding confidence. When you're charging a chopper up the third base line or diving on a short hop at shortstop, a deep pocket keeps the ball in the glove. It gives you the margin of error to make the difficult play look clean — which is exactly what the game demands at the highest level.
Break-In Profile & Custom Fit
Japanese Kip leather breaks in faster than traditional American steerhide while maintaining its structure longer. The 1417 will feel noticeably game-ready earlier in the break-in process, and the two-hinge heel develops a natural flex point that conforms to your individual hand over time. Standard break-in methods — playing catch, light glove mallet work, and applying conditioner — will accelerate the process without compromising the leather's integrity. The result is a glove that fits like it was made specifically for your hand.

Frequently Asked Questions – Emery Summit Pro 1417
What style pattern is the Summit Pro 1417?
The 1417 uses a traditional American-style infield pattern — a deeper, more forgiving build compared to Japanese-inspired infield models. This pattern is updated with a new deep pocket that secures the ball whether it contacts the palm or the web, giving you more margin on difficult plays.
How does the deep pocket help infielders?
A deep pocket swallows the ball and holds it securely regardless of whether it hits the palm or web of the glove. This gives infielders — especially corner infielders handling harder-hit balls — the confidence to attack difficult hops knowing the glove will keep the ball from popping out.
How does the Emery Summit Pro 1417 close?
The 1417 features a natural two-hinge heel that allows it to close from thumb to ring finger or thumb to pinky, depending on how you wear the glove. This adaptability makes it comfortable for a wide variety of hand shapes and catching styles without forcing an unnatural break-in.
What leather is used in the Summit Pro 1417?
The shell and palm liner are both constructed from hand-selected Japanese Kip leather — chosen for its tighter grain, faster break-in, and long-term durability. The thumb holster and finger backs are lined with Cabretta leather for an ultra-premium, comfortable feel, and the glove is laced with Tennessee Tanning Company lace for maximum structural integrity.
What web style does the 1417 use and why?
The Summit Pro 1417 uses an I-web, selected for its softer flex and ability to support fast, clean ball transfers. The open design also provides improved visibility on pop-ups and creates a lighter overall feel — important for infielders who need to react quickly to every pitch.
Who is the Summit Pro 1417 the right glove for?
The 1417 is designed for advanced youth players through professional infielders who prefer the feel and forgiveness of a traditional American pattern. It's a particularly strong choice for third basemen and corner infielders who want a deep, secure pocket that handles hard-hit balls with authority.
