Youth Model - Narrow Hand Opening and Finger Stalls Create Optimal Fit for Smaller Hands
Exclusive - Silver Grey / Black Colorway with Red Accent Stitching
Description
Akadema is the most exciting baseball and softball company in the world. Their increasing market share can be attributed to their innovative quality and professionally designed product line. Focusing on the quality, feel and small details has lifted Akadema to the next level. With a goal to provide products for all ball players, Akadema has created the new Prodigy Youth Series. Constructed from U.S. Steerhide throughout the pocket and webbing, the Prodigy Series provides ideal toughness and padding. On the back of the glove, this series features the exclusive AkademaLyte leather that decreases the overall weight. This not only allows these gloves to be more easily playable, it also significantly decreases the break-in time to the point where these gloves are virtually game-ready out of the box. With the younger player in mind, Akadema slightly narrowed the finger stalls on these gloves to provide a more snug fit. Akadema: Bring Your "A Game"! Free Shipping!

Pros: I wanted to compare this with the Marucci and Rawlings. By far this was the most comfortable, lightest. The Rawlings has a lot of palm padding, too much and weights the glove down. The Marucci has a laced web/finger which I'm not af an of, (gets floppy) and this was the best out of all 3. The leather is light, crisp, firm and of excellent quality. For a youth, this is the best glove out there, IMO.
Cons: None yet, Leather/padding is slightly thinner/less compared to the others of similar pricing, but hopefully no stingers are coming this way.

Pros: Very good glove ! I got the Akadema Prodigy for my son when he was 9 yrs old. I can't say one bad thing about this glove . It broke in very easily but also held its form. It didn't get floppy and he's used it a couple years now. He loves it and will not consider switching to something else.
Cons:

Is this custom glove the same glove as the AHC94 that is tan in color? Is it softer or easier to break-in?
phillip
The **EXCLUSIVE** Akadema Prodigy Series Custom Baseball Youth First Base Mitt: AHC94 is the same glove as the AHC94. The only difference is the color of the gloves. They both require the same amount of break-in time and are made out of U.S. Steerhide.

It's difficult to find youth fastpitch first base mitts, so I was trying to find the best alternative. My daughter is an aspiring fastpitch softball first basemen. How would this glove would do catching 11 inch softballs?
Randy McGillivray
This Akadema Prodigy Series Custom Baseball Youth First Base Mitt (AHC94) will come with a fitting that should work for a youth fastpitch player that is playing with a softball that has an 11" circumference. As well, this glove will come with a 100 day guarantee that allows customers to purchase it and use it, then if within 100 days of the purchase they decide that the glove is not to their liking they can send it back to us for a full refund or exchange. Ultimately, you would risk no money if you wanted to try out this glove.

About the Brand
In Akadema's short but remarkable history it has become one of America's hottest baseball and softball equipment company for professional, college, high school, and serious youth players. The Akadema phenomenon started with the Professional Glove Series and continues with the Reptilian®, Praying Mantis®, Pro Soft™ and Prodigy™ Glove Series as well as the Amish Wood™, Tacktion™ and Xtension® Aluminum Bat Series. Akadema's ownership attributes increasing market share to their innovative professional baseball and softball product line in contrast to mass-produced products that have little to do with quality, feel, or design to raise the level of play.
Akadema's products are manufactured for professional players but are now accessible to semi pro, college, high school, and serious youth players. Akadema products are still designed with the professional player in mind but competitively priced for the professional player at heart. So it's your turn to think like a professional, play like a professional, and use Akadema Professional!
Akadema now has both baseball and fastpitch softball advisory staffs that they work with closely to implement new ideas. Members of the baseball advisory staff include Hall of Famers Ozzie Smith and Gary Carter as well as Howard Johnson, Reggie Smith, Luis Polonia, Sandy Martinez and many others. Fastpitch stars that are on the advisory staff include Crystl Bustos and Julie Smith. The input on performance from the advisory staff gives Akadema something they cannot put a price on. Their advisors don’t talk about marketing or places to sell the gloves, they just care about performance.
