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. Much like in the insect world where the Praying Mantis is known to devour its competition, Akademas new catchers mitt will do the same to conventional catchers mitts. The Akadema patent Praying Mantis is the most innovative catchers mitt ever to hit the market, with many unique features setting it apart from the competition. With new patent "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 in the pocket, resulting in a quicker glove to hand transfer and faster times to second base. Free Shipping.

Ask QuestionDoes this or any of your fastpitch catcher's mitts made to fit an adult man's hand? I need glove to catch my high school daughter. I can't find a glove to fit me. I wear an XL regular glove size. Thank you.
Asked by dtatum on Apr 09, 2012
Fastpitch gloves are designed for women's hands and are normally too small for adult males. We suggest using a men's softball catcher's mitt; http://www.justballgloves.com/products/glove%20type~slow%20pitch%20softball/sub%20type~catchers/.

What Akedema fastpitch cathers mitt best fits male adult?
Asked by tom on Feb 14, 2011
They're all going to fit about the same, and if you have above average or even average size hands for an adult male, the fastpitch mitts may be a little tight. I would go with the largest size possible, which would be this glove. A lot of adult males who need a mitt to catch fastpitch softball will use a large baseball first base mitt.

apm66 vs aea-65 mitts, is there a differance in quality, padding, etc.. I know one is a little bigger circumfrence and open pocket . anything else i should know
Asked by Jeremy on Jan 15, 2011
The AEA65 may have a little more padding, but the quality of the the leather with be the same. The APM66 also features a double flexhinge which makes the glove "snap" close a littler easier.
