Pros: This glove is AMAZING!!! Soft and ready for game play. I really like the three finger design that provides a more comfortable fit and feel then putting your ring and pinky finger in a standard finger slot. I was happily surprised by the deep pocket and actual length of the glove. It makes for a good baseball and softball glove. Leather is soft enough to quickly develop a deep pocket if you're looking for an all position slowpitch softball glove. Just Ball Gloves was great to work with and very quick to answer questions and ship the glove. From now on, they're the only company I'll order from.
Cons: I'm use to playing with the ARZ136 and the leather on the APX221-12 won't hold up as long since it's the pro soft leather. If you're an everyday player who needs a glove that will last season after season, you may check out the Precision Kip or Torino leather. But, for almost a $100 difference..you could buy a second one of these as a replacement.

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.
