FREE Akadema Sunglasses (a $29.99 Value) with purchase of new glove
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's latest innovation, the patent pending Funnel is sweeping across professional baseball infields everywhere! In response to the large number of professional infielders who bend the thumb and pinky fingers of their gloves outward creating a glove that remains open rather than closed in its natural state, Akadema has created the Funnel. With patent pending FleXion slit and an inverted thumb and pinky finger, the Funnel's natural state is open, allowing for the maximum fielding surface available for that hard ground ball up the middle or that two hopper in the hole! Turn two like an All-Star with Akadema's all new Funnel infielders glove! Free Shipping!

Is this like a Torino, but without the Torino Leather? So instead it has US Steerhide?
Nick
The Torino leather is going to be a little more durable than the steerhide leather used in the Akademan Funnel.
K.B.
When did this glove come out? Is it the glove Akadema expects to be used for 2012, or will a new glove series be coming out?
Bryce
With a question as specific as this you may want to contact Akadema directly at 973-304-1470
Sean
Why is there cuts on the pinky and thumb and why would the cuts help in a game?
bigmac9
The FleXion Slits in the thumb and pinky allows the glove's natural state to remain open rather than closed, which results in maximum fielding surface available.
Tom
How much is this glove broke in by the factory?
Te201606
The Akadema Funnel: AFL211-12 baseball glove will require some break in after purchase. It does not come broken in from the factory and I would recommend breaking it in with the use of glove oil.
Jeff
Is this glove durable?
TE201606
The Akadema Funnel: AFL211-12 is a durable glove. It should last a few seasons with proper care.
Kara
How does this glove compare to the 11.5" Mizuno MVP Prime series glove?
Evan
The Akadema Funnel (AFL211-12) is very comparable to the Mizuno MVP Prime 11.50" glove. They both have similar break-in times and are both made out of similar leather.
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.
