Right or Left Hand Throw 11.5" pattern two-tone, modified Fly-trap web, open back, and medium/deep pocket was designed for the professional shortstop, second baseman, third baseman, or pitcher. Popular style web among Major League infielders and pitchers, the modified Fly-trap web is designed to give on impact, stopping ball spin resulting in softer hands. Includes Akadema's exclusive Reinforced Pocket Design and Straight-Lace Finger Design adding more strength and durability to the pocket. Hand-crafted with select U.S. Steerhide and Akadema ¼" Rawhide apache tan lacing. At Akadema® Professional, we have not only designed a glove line with a professional and collegian player in mind, but also players of all ages and abilities. Each glove is tailor-made for selected positions with the sole purpose of raising a player's performance on the field. 1. Akadema uses only the top USA Steerhide for its Professional Series Gloves. The Professional Glove series uses US Steerhide on the glove shell, palm lining, finger lining, and binding. Akadema uses the leather from the back and shoulder area for a strong thick glove. 2. The Professional Series uses the top ¼" USA rawhide for its laces. Stronger sewing and welting techniques have strengthened the Akadema glove. 3. Infield and outfield gloves have "laced through fingers." This lacing procedure makes the glove easier for a player to tighten and maintain. 4. Using a method started by Major League equipment managers, all open web infield gloves have reinforced lacing to strengthen the shell and pocket for less tearing in the pocket and a stronger overall glove. 5. Akadema does not use pre oiled /conditioned leather in its Pro Series infield, pitching and outfield making the glove lighter and stronger for professional use.
