Description

Akadema is the most exciting baseball and softball company in the world. Their increasing market share can be attributed to their innovative quality and professionally designed product line. Focusing on the quality, feel and small details has lifted Akadema to the next level. With a goal to provide products for all ball players, Akadema has created the new Fastpitch Series (ACE70-12). Constructed from U.S. Steerhide throughout the pocket and webbing, the Fastpitch Series provides ideal toughness and padding. On the back of the glove, this series features the exclusive AkademaLyte leather that decreases the overall weight. This not only allows these gloves to be more easily playable, it also significantly decreases the break-in time needed to get them game-ready. With the female athlete in mind, Akadema narrowed the finger stalls on these gloves to provide a more snug fit. An adjustable Velcro wrist strap, that Akadema calls the "Grasp Clasp", ensures a custom and comfortable fit for any player. Akadema: Bring Your "A Game"! Free Shipping!

Sarah

Pros: Quality is great and fits snuggly on my hand. Extremely light compared to my old glove. I like a 13" glove as I am a pitcher and play 1st base. The 100 day warranty is a big plus. I like this glove very much even though I have not used it in a game. I have only practiced with it but I can see that I am going to love this glove. For the price this is an excellent glove that I can recommend.

Cons: A little difficult to break in just like every new glove I have owned. Other than that I have no complaints.

Pros: This is the fourth Akadema glove that I have purchased for my 12year old granddaughter who is besides a pitcher a very versitle position player (1) infielder 12.5; (2) catcher's mitt; (3) 1st base glove; and this (4) outfielder's glove, I am very pleased with the quality and design of the gloves for the price; I would recommend Akadema gloves to any serious fastpitch softball player! She just recently won an MVP Award with her pitching, playing 3rd base, catching and hitting performances!

Cons: None

best glove on the market for the price Tim Johnson Parent

Pros: Easier break in than most gloves. Durable, both of my daughters had this glove for 5 plus years playing A class tournament ball. Lots of games and all kinds of weather. Both played outfield, glove has a large pocket for catching fly balls and it was not to heavy. Leather is soft enough that it is not scratchy or uncomfortable. Just bought the second one for my youngest daughter. This glove is second to none and I would recommend it to everyone who has a daughter playing outfield or pitching.

Cons: No cons.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Akadema Fastpitch Softball Glove: ACE70-12? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

How would you say this glove compares to the Mizuno MVP 13" in terms of size (physical length, width, and pocket), quality, durability and playability? Will
The Akadema Fastpitch Series: ACE70-12 With FREE Glove Bag and the Mizuno MVP Series are relatively the same as far as size, quality, durability, and playability. It just comes down to personal preference.
Zach
What is AkademaLyte Leather? Is it a fake leather? Some gloves I have seen have a fake leather back, and get all funky when I oil them. John
AkademaLyte leather is a synthetic leather that decreases the overall weight of the glove. This not only allows these gloves to be more easily playable, it also significantly decreases the break-in time needed to get them game-ready.
Tyler
Do you have this glove in a size 12.5? Sassy kassy
No, we do not have the Akadema Fastpitch Series: AJB74 With FREE Glove Bag in a 12.5 inch size. We do have the very similar Akadema Reptilian Fastpitch Series: ATS77 With FREE Glove Bag in a 12.5 inch size.
Jeff
Can I get my daughter's name and number on the glove? Also, is it a good glove to use for third base? boo
Unfortunately, we do not have the capabilities to engrave or embroider our gloves. Sizing comes down to the age of the player. I recommend our Glove Coach. It's a great tool: http://www.justballgloves.com/glove-coach/
Tyler
Does this glove come in a right hand thrower model? Gatormom15
The Akadema Fastpitch Series: ACE70-12 does come in a right handed throwing model. Unfortunately we are currently out of stock in the model. We are expecting to get more in stock in the near future.
Marcus
My daughter is 10 years old. She has very broad palms and large fingers (her hands are bigger than mine). I noticed these gloves all seem to say narrow finger stalls. Do these gloves typically fit an adult sized woman's hand? Angel
The Akadema Fastpitch Series (ACE70-12) will have narrower finger stalls and wrist openings compared to a regular Fastpitch glove, which are made for the adult sized woman's hand.
Tom
My daughter plays 14U. She has really small hands and most gloves seem to want to slip off her hand. In the past I have had to add extra velcro for them to stay on. She has the Mizuno MVP now. How does the opening compare? KevinM
The Akadema Fastpitch Series (ACE70-12) has an easily adjustable wrist strap so it should be able to adjust to her hand size and securely fit.
Patrick
I have really big hands but also very skinny; gloves always seem to slip right off. I'm a pitcher and outfielder. What glove and size would be best? sarah
For someone who plays OF and pitcher, we would recommend either a 12.00 inch pattern with a closed web or trapeze, like the Akadema Fastpitch Series: ACE70-12, or in a 12.25 inch pattern with the same web design.
Cameron
Does this model come in a 12 inch size? blaine
The Akadema Fastpitch Series: ACE70-12 will only be featured in a 13.00 inch pattern. If looking for a 12.00 inch model we would recommend looking into the Akadema Fastpitch Series: AJB74.
Cameron
Is this glove game ready or is there a lot of breaking in needed? Trace
The Akadema Fastpitch Series: ACE70-12 is a glove that will be require very little break-in to get to "game ready" form and feel.
Cameron
My daughter is a pitcher and utility player (middle infield and outfield). Would this glove accommodate all positions? Ronald Glass
The Akadema Fastpitch Series: ACE70-12 would work great for a utility glove. For the middle infield position this glove would be a little bigger than normal but would be great for the outfield and pitching.
Max
Is this glove for both male and female? Also, about hand size, would this be better for smaller hands then bigger? ZACH
The Akadema Fastpitch Softball Glove: ACE70-12 is designed for a female player's hand. Would not anticipate this being a good option for an adult male player as the hand opening and finger stalls are smaller/tighter.
