Akadema Praying Mantis APM40 33 1/2 inch Catchers Mitt

Akadema's new catchers mitt, the Praying Mantis (patent pending), is the most innovative catchers mitt ever to hit the market. Akadema's Praying Mantis catcher's mitt has many unique features setting it apart from conventional catchers mitts. With new patent pending "Stress Wedge" technology, located between the index finger and thumb, the Praying Mantis APM40 catchers mitt offers shock absorbing protection for the hand against injury and sting when receiving the ball. The Praying Mantis catcher's mitt also offers two additional "Finger Hammocks" allowing the fingers to be firmly positioned and more secure in the catchers 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 catchers mitt also features a "Double Flexhinge" which makes this catchers mitt snap closed on contact.
