34"¯ circumference pattern, Spiral-Lock web, open back Akadema™s exclusive Grasp-Clasp wrist system, and deep pocket designed for the serious fastpitch catcher. 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. Hand-crafted with select U.S. Steerhide pocket, AkademaLyte leather on the back, and Akadema¯ Rawhide black lacing.
