Much like in the insect world where the Praying Mantis is known
to devour it's competition, Akadema's new catcher's mitt
will do the same to conventional catcher's mitts. The Akadema
patent pending Praying Mantis
is the most innovative catcher's mitt ever to hit the market,
with many unique features setting it apart from the competition.
With new patent pending "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 into the pocket, resulting in
a quicker glove to hand transfer and faster times to second
base. The Praying Mantis also features a "Double Flexhinge"
which makes the glove snap closed on contact.
