Pros: great glove
Cons:
Pros: The glove arrived promptly, it is very well made, excellent quality leather. Took it to a store to have it steamed to soften it up my son loves it! It is his first top quality glove I'm pretty sure it will last him a lifetime.
Cons: None
Pros: It broke in real well. It took about a week to work in to game. Fit my hand real well. (Freshman)
Cons: None.
Pros: Perfect glove for my 9 year old (He's a big 9 year old though). This is his first glove upgrade. took a day or two to be game ready. The glove has increased his confidence and made him better at catching the ball. Hold form well so far.
Cons: No palm padding or padding for pointer finger like the Rawlings Gold Glove series.
Pros: I bought the slightly used. It was basically brand new. The glove is soft and is breaking in nicely.
Cons: Nothing yet
Pros: The glove has a super soft feel. It feels great when receiving and ground ball. I have not had any problems with mine. I play college ball, and coach two little league teams. I basically use my glove everyday of the week. It is by far the best glove I have ever bought. I wont buy any glove besides Akadema now!
Cons: Not a songle one!!
Pros: nice pocket
Cons: time to break it in
Pros: very soft leather easy to form a pocket. Ive been working with the glove for about 3 weeks breaking it in already have shaped and form the pocket to how i like. also the the leather is a little bit more thin so you have great feel for the ball. for 100$ bucks its good glove. ill come back with a review in a year. age(20)
Cons: since the leather is thin if you catch a heater youre likely to feel it. i had one problem with the stitching on the heel of the glove. the tag end on the side of the pinkey that gets tucked in came out. not any reason to send it back a simple fix. note it came out when i was working in the glove.
Pros: Good quality glove, put together well.
Cons: The 11.5 glove is NOT an 11.5 glove. Its lucky if it is an 11. Very small. Also not as soft and game ready out of the box as some have suggested. If you are worried about size you MUST opt for the larger size.
Pros: The glove looks better in person. Very easy break in. Recieved it tuesday and used it on the same weekend in a tournament. Nice pop sound. Overall a great glove.
Cons: laces seem to be stiff but we will see overtime
Pros: This glove was easy to break in and fits my hand left had perfectly with a great pocket.
Cons: Can’t find one for my left hand throwing.
Pros: None
Cons: Felt cheap/thin, closed funny and my son hated the way it felt inside the glove
Pros: High quality leather. Versatile. Looks good. Holds shape. Good price.

Cons: There are none
Pros: Shipping was fast

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.
