Description

Akadema is the most exciting baseball and softball company in the world. Akadema's 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. Akadema continues to revolutionize the glove industry with its unique position by position patented technology gloves. The Reptilian Claw continues the evolution and is the most innovative outfield glove on the market today. Designed specifically to raise the level of play in the outfield positions, the Reptilian Claw allows for comfort and performance. For years professional outfielders have been forcing five fingers into three small fingerstalls as well as attempting to create an artificial hinge into the thumb of their gloves to create a deeper pocket and easier close. In response, the patented Reptilian Claw offers three wider finger stalls which are much larger than stalls found in regular gloves allowing all four fingers to fit comfortably toward the pinky side of the glove. The Reptilian Claw also offers Double Flexhinge for easier collapse points in the pocket. These unique features allow for more comfort, easier closing and increased pocket size. The Reptilian Claw is made of top U.S. Steer hide with 1/4" rawhide lacing and has a modified Flytrap web design. Free Shipping!

Is this a good replacement for my Rawlings Vise 12.5" softball glove? (I play in the outfield.) Or is this glove really only good for baseball? Dave. speedrugby
The Akadema Reptilian Series is an outfield baseball glove. However, it has a deep pocket and could be used for softball. Here are a few other slow pitch gloves to consider: http://www.justballgloves.com/products/glove%20type~slow%20pitch%20softball/size~12.50/.

I've heard that the Toro (or Torino) leather is difficult to break in, but excellent quality. Is this true? Coherence
The steerhide leather on the Akadema Reptilian Series (AXX21-12) is stiff out of the box and will require some break in but the hinged design makes it a bit easier of a process.
