11.5" pattern, double X-web, open back, and medium pocket was designed for professional second basemen, shortstops, third basemen, and pitchers. The creation of the Reptilian Design Series is a combination of technology meeting evolution. The Reptilians near-fingerless design creates a natural air pocket which acts as a shock absorber for initial ball impact, making glove to hand transfer smoother and quicker. The near finger-less design also acts as a shovel for easier ground ball scooping. With virtually no breaking points within the pocket, the Reptilian is designed to keep its unique shape longer than a regular glove. Hand-crafted of Akademas exclusive Apache tan US Steerhide, the AXX-105 is designed for the toils of a professional season. With U-shaped reinforced thumb and pinky fingers, the AXX-105 maintains its game shape for better performance on the field. Includes Akademas exclusive Reinforced Pocket Design and Straight-Lace Finger Design adding more strength and durability to the pocket.
