Akadema is the worlds 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. The Akadema Rookie Series was created for younger players who are serious about baseball and want to play like their favorite stars. Akadema uses full grain leather in the construction for easy break-in and comfort.

Pros: Very soft leather. Good quality. As a baseball coach, I think its a GREAT starter glove for a young catcher.
Cons: It has a "bump" for extra padding located at your index finger. I think it might would work better if smaller.
