Akadema APM 42 (32.5 inch) Catcher's Mitt

Used for one 12U season; retired from catching after Cooperstown Lightly used in general. But it's loud! :) ===== From Akadema: 32.5” circumference Spiral-Lock web, open back, deep Akadema Pro Thunder pocket designed for the professional catcher who likes the control and quickness of a 32.5” mitt. With the patented "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. https://akademapro.com/products/apm-42
