Customer Reviews

Best youth catcher's mitt available Bought this for my 10 year old after his old mitt was worn out. Broke in in about 1 month (at least to his liking) He now swears by his Akadema and would not use any other.He has tried a few others in practice or scrimmage games but says his Akadema is by far the best. He has used it now for 8 months and happier than ever.It is well used and the mitt has worn well with no tears,rips or laces popping.The extra padding, or as they say stress wedge is a hand saver and the finger hammocks make the glove feel like a second hand (his words) Anyone looking to spend more on another brand don't bother and if going 10 to 20 dollars cheaper for other brands, you'll end up regretting it after trying to break it in only to have it not hold up to intense play. Bottom line great for serious players, reasonably priced for less than serious, This mitt is a winner.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description Made of genuine steerhide leather for strength and durability, the Louisville Slugger HXCM catcher's mitt is a good choice for both competitive leagues and casual play. The 32.5-inch mitt's oil-treated leather offers a soft, comfortable feel and a quicker break-in period, giving players the best of both worlds. The glove's Slugger Touch finger linings, meanwhile, wick away perspiration from the player's hand for unmatched control and comfort. And players will love the Bruise-gard padding, which cushions the hand from stinging throws and offers extra protection in the palm in finger areas. Other features include dye-through lacing for durability, a closed web, and a conventional open back. About Louisville Slugger In many ways, the rich 120-year history of the Louisville Slugger baseball bat began in the talented hands of 17-year-old John A. "Bud" Hillerich. Bud's father, J.F. Hillerich, owned a woodworking shop in Louisville in the 1880s when Bud began working for him. Legend has it that Bud slipped away from work one afternoon in 1884 to watch the Louisville Eclipse, the town's major league team. After Pete Browning--the Eclipse's star who was mired in a hitting slump--broke his bat, Bud invited him to his father's shop to make a new one. With Browning at his side giving advice, Bud handcrafted a new bat from a long slab of wood. Browning got three hits using the bat the next day. Browning told his teammates, which began a surge of professional ballplayers visiting the Hillerich shop. Although J.F. Hillerich had little interest in making bats, Bud persisted, eventually registering the name Louisville Slugger with the U.S. patent office in 1894. In the early 1900s, the company was one of the first to use a sports endorsement as a marketing strategy, paying Hall of Famer Honus Wagner to use his name on a bat. By 1923, Louisville Slugger was the selling more bats than any other bat maker in the country, with such famed clients as Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Lou Gehrig. In the ensuing years, the company has sold more than 100 million bats, and 60 percent of all Major League players currently use Louisville Sluggers. The company now sells far more than bats, including fielding and batting gloves, helmets, catchers' gear, equipment bags, training aids, and accessories.
