Description for the Akadema Praying Mantis Series: APM40 Catchers Mitt:
Akadema is the most exciting baseball and softball company in the world. Akademas ownership attributes an increasing market share to their innovative quality professional product line in contrast to mass-produced products that have little to do with quality, feel, or design that raise the level of play. Much like in the insect world where the Praying Mantis is known to devour its competition, Akademas new catchers mitt will do the same to conventional catchers mitts. The Akadema patent Praying Mantis is the most innovative catchers mitt ever to hit the market, with many unique features setting it apart from the competition. With new patent “Stress Wedge” technology, located between the index finger and thumb, the Praying Mantis offers shock-absorbing protection for the hand against injury and sting when receiving the ball. The Praying Mantis also offers two additional “Finger Hammocks” allowing the fingers to be firmly positioned and more secure in the glove. Additional features include the Double-sided Slim Padding allowing for increased pocket size and easier ball retention. Uniquely designed shape allows the throwing hand easier access in the pocket, resulting in a quicker glove to hand transfer and faster times to second base. Free Shipping.

Pros: Best catchers glove I've ever owned. Gel wedge in pocket takes a lot of sting out of the ball. Easy to break in. Glove really pops when caught in the pocket. I feel like it's much easier to find the ball when transfering for a throw. Have used the glove for 5 seasons, and have had no problems.
Cons: None

Pros: Very durable, I used it for two seasons. The double laced pockets have never broken for me, and is the best glove for the money in my opinion. The leather is not a bad quality, I used it in college and it outlasted two A2000's.
Cons: Deep pocket, takes longer on throwdowns (most likely mental).

Pros: Very good glove for the price.
Double laced pocket is very durable. I also liked the extra finger hammocks. Forms good pocket. I've used it for 1 season and it's holding up alright.
Cons: Pocket is too deep, making my throws to second longer. Becomes a little too flimsy after a while. The back stretches and makes the glove loose and harder to control.
