Introduction to Akadema

Introduction to Akadema
Welcome to the world’s most exciting baseball and softball equipment company. In Akadema’s short but
remarkable history it has become 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®, Prodigy™, Funnel® Prosoft™ and Precision
Glove Series and as well as the Pro Wood, Tacktion®, and Xtension® Aluminum Bat Series . Akadema also
offers a great selection of game day accessories.
Akadema’s ownership attributes an increasing
market share to their innovative quality professional
product line in contrast to mass-produced products
that have little to do with quality, feel, or design
that raise the level of play.
Senior Advisory Staff
Akadema's products are manufactured for
professional players but are available for semi
pro, college, high school, and serious youth players.
Akadema continues to design products with the
professional player in mind but are competitively
priced for the professional player at heart. So it's
your turn to think like a professional, play like a Ozzie Smith
professional, and use Akadema Professional!

33” circumference, Praying Mantis Pattern, The
latest glove series by Akademia uses Precision Kip
leather that is 20% lighter and tighter grained than
steerhide. The hides are harvested in Europe and
tanned in Japan. The gloves are more pliable,
easier to break in and have more tensile strength
then our competitors glove lines.

Much like in the insect world where the Praying Mantis is known
to devour it's competition, Akadema's new catcher's mitt will do
the same to conventional catcher's mitts. The Akadema patent
Praying Mantis is the most innovative catcher's mitt ever to hit the
market, with many unique features setting it apart from the
competition. With new patent "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.

The creation of the
$199
Reptilian® Design Series by Akadema Professional is a combination of technology meeting evolution.
This
revolutionary web, pocket, and near finger-less design has many features to separate it from the normal ball glove. The appearance
and performance of the Reptilian® Design Series will make all other baseball gloves extinct. The Reptilian's® 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. When the ball initially hits the glove, it makes a depression that allows the ball to sit longer in the glove. The near fingerless 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. The Reptilian's® leather looks and feels like snake scales which
give better traction and grip for less ball spin. Taking the baseball world by storm, Akadema's patented Reptilian® design currently
maintains its position as the world’s hottest selling glove line. With attention to quality and design, Akadema® Professional and the
Reptilian® stand poised to revolutionize the way baseball is played.

"I am excited to be with Akadema. We have
used their Bats and Gloves in the past with
very good success.We look forward to a
long and productive relationship."
The Xtension is the most technologically advanced Pro Balanced
bat on the market today. The Akadema Xtension was created for
one purpose...More Bat Speed! The Xtension’s Pro Balance design
was formulated to give a hitter more control, leverage and bat speed
at the plate. The Pro balance allows for a better distribution of weight
throughout the entire bat. The result is a much more manageable
bat with increased barrel speed through the hitting zone, creating
increased bat speed and power. The Xtension is made of TX7 high
performance impact alloy, making it one of the hardest and most
durable bats on the market today.
