Akadema Reptilian 12.5" Fastpitch Softball Glove: ATS77With FREE Akadema Sunglasses

Pros: the attached fingers were unique to look at but this thing catches everything.

Cons:

Pros: I bought this glove for my daughter who plays 12U fastpitch. She had out grown her other Akadema glove which is still in great shape. This allows her to play infield and outfield. The wrist strap is nice so she can tighten it to where she is comfortable. I am very impressed with the quaility of gloves that Akadema makes.

Cons: It is a stiff glove to start, and takes work to break in - but after about a week of playing catch and working with it was good.

Pros: Ready to use right out of the box, or I should say...right out of the bag (comes with a very nice bag). Daughter (12U) already has an Akadema catcher's glove that she has used for years, but was given an opportunity to play a tournament and needed a fielder's glove. Great purchase, great glove, and great service. Speedy delivery too! This site deserves more than 5 stars...

Cons: There should be more than 5 stars to choose from when rating a glove or the company!

Pros: This glove is comfortable, the inside is soft and fits my hand well. It was easy to break-in. As a pitcher, I like the pocket design. I also like the padding, I feel confident catching line-drives on the mound.

Cons:

Pros: none

Cons: I bought this glove with high hopes. After reading reviews I bought one for my 12 year old. I have 3 boys playing ball and I have played for 25 years. This has to be the worst glove I have ever purchased. Looks good at first but after break-in the ball would not stay in the glove. Every time my son would try to catch a ball it would pop out of the top of the glove. I thought it was him but I put the glove and and it did the same thing to me. I use a Nokona and now he will too. Thanks to the best place to buy gloves (this site) we are able to return it for his new Nokona.

Pros: it is ready for game rite away

Cons: kinda snug

Pros: Awesome glove. Meant for softball, and fastpitch softball at that. It has smaller finger stalls, so it's meant for most female players. To the parent/player who is considering buying this glove for their children to play baseball with - DON'T. Please READ the description of the glove so you can make an educated choice. This glove deserves a 5 star rating for construction quality, innovative features and great fit. Break in is easy and the glove just plain works FANTASTICALLY.

Cons: Doesn't make coffee, nor does my taxes for me.

Pros:

Cons: Have had it for a year and used all the time but still hard to close. Ball does not even stay in at all! Do not waist your time or money like I did with this glove.

Pros: Intriguing look and concept design is what sold me - plus all the "Pros" in the reviews. Thought they might be onto something.

Cons: Unfortunately, this is NOT a good glove design!!! My daughter has the same problems as noted in all the poor reviews - ball pops out of the glove... It's because there is no stitching between the fingers, the pocket collapses after it gets broken in and you squeeze the glove to catch the ball. I can see this now even with my larger hands since the glove has been broken in.

Pros: Excellent glove, my 14 year old daughter loves it. She plays pitcher, shortstop and outfield. Nice and soft, relatively lightweight, durable, comfortable and made for softball.

Cons: Laces come undone easily (but that is easily remedied). She lost it (or it "walked away") recently, so now we have to buy another one!

Pros: My SS needed a new glove 2 years ago in 12 U Travel ball. We went with this glove on the design concepts that it espoused. To this day, 2 years and over 150 games later, she still only wears this glove. We have never had the issue of the ball popping out of the glove, but we rehearse proper fielding technique almost daily, ensuring she focuses on catching the ball with her finger tips, not her palm.

Cons: None that I have seen.

Pros: Easy Break in, very well made and very comfortable for my daughter to use. This is the second Akadema glove she has owned and we have been very satisfied with its performance and durability. Worth every cent.

Cons: None

Pros: Easy to break in. Nice size.

Cons: My daughter wore this glove out after 1 1/2 seasons of travel ball. The leather inside where the hand is placed is coming apart. The leather ties are always coming loose. Once completely broken-in, the location where the ring and pinky finger go does not close very well. Akadema has placed a very stiff piece of leather in that section. Very disappointed to have to replace this glove after only 1 1/2 seasons.

Pros: Soft and flexible right out of the package. 12 year old daughter loves it. Gets better as the pocket breaks in. I recommend this glove,and the price is right too.

Cons:

Pros: Unique design

Cons: Looks more like it was designed for baseball. My 12 year old daughter plays 1st base and can catch pretty much anything. Like some other people said, the ball kept popping out of the pocket. It did it with me also. Pinky edge of glove never closed right around the ball either. It just folded backwards away from it. No ball control at all. Pocket way to small for 12" softball.

Pros: I got this glove for my senior year this year and I love it! this is a softball glove so of course its not ganna work for baseball!!! catches pretty much everything thrown at it even the ones that go over my head. The balls don't pop out of the glove and it broke in pretty easily. Hasn't torn or anything and Im rough with it. All in all pretty good glove!

Cons:

Pros: easy break in.

Cons: glove tore after 1 1/2 months use for my daughter who pitches. maybe ok for a 10 or 12 u player but thats it.

Pros: Buying a new glove after 4 years of use with the exact same glove. She is a pitcher and middle infielder and almost nothing gets past this glove.

Cons:

Pros: The manufacturer customer service

Cons: Horrible. No padding at all. Fake leather on most of the glove. Looks and feels like a $25 Walmart glove. I was so excited to get this and it took about 6 catches to know, it was a huge disappointment! Went for the All-Star Vela.

Pros: Bought this identical glove for my granddaughter four years ago, almost to the day (5/1/2014), she absolutely loved the unique Reptillian style being a pitcher, playing middle infield, literally has worn it out playing high school and travel ball seasons; subsequently, the recent purchase of a second glove to replace the worn out glove! She is also a catcher and, via me, owns an Akadema catcher's glove, I find Akadema gloves to be a top quality product for a very reasonable price, relatively speaking of course!

Cons: None
