Pros: This glove is AMAZING!!! Soft and ready for game play. I really like the three finger design that provides a more comfortable fit and feel then putting your ring and pinky finger in a standard finger slot. I was happily surprised by the deep pocket and actual length of the glove. It makes for a good baseball and softball glove. Leather is soft enough to quickly develop a deep pocket if you're looking for an all position slowpitch softball glove. Just Ball Gloves was great to work with and very quick to answer questions and ship the glove. From now on, they're the only company I'll order from.

Cons: I'm use to playing with the ARZ136 and the leather on the APX221-12 won't hold up as long since it's the pro soft leather. If you're an everyday player who needs a glove that will last season after season, you may check out the Precision Kip or Torino leather. But, for almost a $100 difference..you could buy a second one of these as a replacement.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Akadema Pro Soft Series: APX221-12? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

Because the ring finger and pinkie finger pocket are made into one pocket, does that affect the glove performance in any way? kmart
The purpose of the special design in the Akadema Pro Soft Series: APX221-12 is to make the glove easier to snap shut, more effectively trapping the ball.

My son is 11 and plays select baseball as an outfielder. Would this glove be a right fit for him? TGV
Based on his age and position, we recommend a smaller glove at 12.00" to 12.25". The Akadema Pro Soft Series: APX221-12 may be too large at 12.75". Here is a link to our Glove Coach for further sizing assistance http://www.justballgloves.com/glove-coach/

I heard that soft leather wears out faster, is this true? Also, how long do you think the glove will last me? Michael B
Yes, generally leather that is stiff, and tough, tends to last a bit longer than softer leather. As for determining a time frame for the life span of a glove, this can be difficult to determine. The Akadema Pro Soft Series: (sAPX221-12) features a leather with a game-ready feel. This will be a little bit softer, however, with good care, this could potentially last quite a while.

Typically how long would this glove last? With good care could it potentially last 4 seasons? Will P.
The Akadema Pro Soft Series (APX221-12) has a lower quality leather that will give it a game ready feel, but won't be extremely durable. My guess would be it might last around a couple seasons with good care.
Tom
Do you guys carry this model in the color black? stud
No, the Akadema Pro Soft Series (APX221-12) is only available in the light brown/dark brown color scheme.
John
Is this a good size for first base slow pitch softball? I usually play first base and outfield in slow pitch softball, but I don't have the budget to buy a first base mitt right now. sam
The Akadema Pro Soft Series (APX221-12) is designed for baseball so it is not an ideal option for softball. It can serve as a dual purpose glove, but I would instead recommend the Akadema Pro Soft Series (AHO224-12) or the Akadema Pro Soft Series (ASR282).
Jake
Would this glove be a good size for a high school outfielder? logan
The Akadema Pro Soft Series: APX221-12 has a 12.75" pattern which is a suitable size for a high school outfielder. If your player prefers a slightly smaller glove, a 12.5" size is also recommended.
Angelique
Trying to find a ready to use glove for a 9 yr old that can be used for first base and outfield. Is the fit small enough for a youth player? Texas Baseball
The Akadema Pro Soft Series: APX221-12 doesn't feature a youth fit, so it may be a bit big for your 9 year old.
Logan
I'm looking for a glove for a 13 year old that plays 2nd base. Would this be a good mitt? Bob
The Akadema Pro Soft Series: APX221-12 is a 12.75 inch glove and would be a good options for a OF. For a player who is 13 and playing 2B, you would want to look at the following glove: Akadema Pro Soft Series: AGM209-12.
Cameron
Will this be a good glove for a high school 3rd baseman? Lou
I would not recommend this Akadema Pro Soft Series (APX221-12) for a high school 3B as it has a 12.75" length and will be too long. For a high school 3B, we usually recommend a glove in the 11.75" length.
