Spiral-Lock web, open back, Akadema¹s exclusive Grasp-Clasp wrist system, and deep pocket designed for the serious fastpitch catcher. Though originally patterned as a 33.5" mitt, and even though all available literature describes it as 34", the glove itself is stamped 34.5"

WIth all the Praying Mantis features - the shock-absorbing Stress Wedge (patent pending), two additional Finger Hammocks for firm, secure finger placement, and Double Flex-Hinge so the glove snaps shut. Double-sided Slim Padding provides increased pocket size and easier ball retention and unique shape results in quicker glove-to-hand transfer, faster times to second base.
