Akadema APM 66 34″ Fastpitch Catcher’s Mitt: APM66

Created to satisfy the needs of the competitive fastpitch player, the Akadema Fastpitch Design Series is hand-crafted to increase the level of play on the field.  This light weight glove allows for a faster break-in period and a more manageable feel.  Smaller finger stalls are used to decrease the distance between the thumb and index finger and the Grasp-Clasp wrist system allows for increased playablity.

With the patented “Stress Wedge” technology, located between the index finger and thumb, the Praying Mantis offers shock absorbing protection for the hand against injury and sting when receiving the ball. The Praying Mantis also offers two additional “Finger Hammocks” allowing the fingers to be firmly positioned and more secure in the glove. Additional features include the “Double-sided Slim Padding” allowing for increased pocket size and easier ball retention. Uniquely designed shape allows the throwing hand easier access into the pocket, resulting in a quicker glove to hand transfer and faster times to second base. The Praying Mantis also features a “Double Flexhinge” which makes the glove snap closed on contact.
