Description

Known for comfortable gloves that perform unlike anything else on the field, Akadema has raised the bar with the Torino Series. With a light brown palm and a chocolate brown shell, the Torino Series performs even better than it looks! Akadema's newest glove line is made from soft and smooth kip leather that enables the Torino Series to be 20% lighter than traditional gloves, yet just as durable as U.S. steerhide. These gloves break-in quickly yet retain their shape better than any other glove on the market. This 11.50 Inch pattern features a H-Web and is the perfect size for an infielder. The pocket on the 11.50 Inch Torino Series has medium depth to make catching and transferring the ball easier. With a conventional open back, this glove is made to give players the ultimate control in the field that they've been looking for. Akadema: Bring Your "A" Game! Free Shipping!

Have a question about the Akadema Torino Series: ABM11? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

Is this glove type very good for infield and outfield or is it position specific? G Money
I would recommend this glove for the infield. Most infielders use 11.00-11.50 inch gloves. Most outfielders use 12.00-12.50 inch gloves.
Brett
is this glove better than the ARO18 for middle infield/pitcher? juan
Both are the same quality, the only difference is the webbing. That decision comes down to the personal preference of the player as neither type of web provides an advantage over the other in terms of performance.

What is the difference between this Torino and the Precision 11.5" black one, besides color? Bulmer_24
The Akadema Precision Series will feature an easier break-in than other kip leather gloves and also have high tensile strength for better durability. The Akadema Torino Series (ABM11) is also made from Kip leather and will have an easy break-in. The gloves should feel very similar.

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.
