Pros: Great Glove. Nearly indestructable even for a 7 yr old. My son has enjoyed this glove for 3 seasons now.
Cons: Very long break in period. Takes an adult to break it in, or a teenager with a smaller hand.
Pros: My 6yr old loves it!! He is very competitive and plays travelball year round with 7u and glove holds up awesome!! He is a shopvac with this glove at second base!! Would recommend to any young serious ball player!!
Cons: None
Pros: This is a great glove. My son is smaller and has small hands and he loves this glove. On year 3 with it and he won't let me buy him a new one!
Cons: Longer break in but that's why it lasts. I highly recommend this glove for a 6-9 year old middle infielder or whatever.
Pros: This glove is light weight, which allows the younger player to handle it easily. It has a small hand opening and tight finger stalls which makes it an ideal size for such a young player. It does take a little work to breal in compared to some of the lower level gloves, but not nearly as much break in time as high end gloves. I would classify this as a mid level glove, perfect for 4-7 year olds. I bought this glove for my son when he was 4 years 10 months, and he is now 6 years 3 months. In that time frame he has used it just about every day. He has used and abused it, and it is now just way too floppy. The pocket is well formed, but anything that is caught/fielded on the fingers is at risk of bending the glove back. It wasnt like this out of the box, but its just done now. If your kid doesnt play year round, exoect about 4 good years out of this glove. My son literally uses it daily at practice, games, and work outs at home, so it lasted him about a year and a half.
Cons: Didnt stand the test of time, but was great before it got too soft.
Pros: great quality. light weight. sons loves this glove
Cons: tough to break in.
Pros: looks nice
Cons: takes to long to break in. Glove us very flimsy cant feel ball in web. im looking to buy a new glove for my 6yr old after buying this one
Pros: Good
Cons:
Pros: Mesh backing
Cons: Leather is very tough, requires a lot of work to make usable by a small kid with normal hand strength
Pros: Excellent youth glove!
Cons: None

About the Brand
In Akadema's short but remarkable history it has become one of America's hottest baseball and softball equipment company for professional, college, high school, and serious youth players. The Akadema phenomenon started with the Professional Glove Series and continues with the Reptilian®, Praying Mantis®, Pro Soft™ and Prodigy™ Glove Series as well as the Amish Wood™, Tacktion™ and Xtension® Aluminum Bat Series. Akadema's ownership attributes increasing market share to their innovative professional baseball and softball product line in contrast to mass-produced products that have little to do with quality, feel, or design to raise the level of play.
Akadema's products are manufactured for professional players but are now accessible to semi pro, college, high school, and serious youth players. Akadema products are still designed with the professional player in mind but competitively priced for the professional player at heart. So it's your turn to think like a professional, play like a professional, and use Akadema Professional!
Akadema now has both baseball and fastpitch softball advisory staffs that they work with closely to implement new ideas. Members of the baseball advisory staff include Hall of Famers Ozzie Smith and Gary Carter as well as Howard Johnson, Reggie Smith, Luis Polonia, Sandy Martinez and many others. Fastpitch stars that are on the advisory staff include Crystl Bustos and Julie Smith. The input on performance from the advisory staff gives Akadema something they cannot put a price on. Their advisors don’t talk about marketing or places to sell the gloves, they just care about performance.
