Akadema App-240 Prosoft Design Series 33.5 Inch Baseball Catcher's Mitt
I am a high school baseball coach and have used Akadema gloves before. I bought this to catch in the bullpen and let some of our catchers use it a couple of times. Sudddenly, I found the starting catcher and the back-up catcher asking to use the glove all the time! The back-up bought one almost identical to mine and uses it when he's in.
When the head coach left, I needed another catcher's mitt and so I went with another one. This glove has been harder to work in than my older one, but I think that the leather was softer on the other one. I have been catching our fastest pitcher and the glove is starting to work its way into shape.
I would highly recommend this glove to anybody who wants an affordable alternative to one of the more high-end heart of the hide gloves. I don't think you will be disappointed.
