Visual Impact: The Aesthetics of the Royal/White Defense

This Classic Series infielder glove features a bold royal blue and white contrast, designed to project a strong individual presence and psychological edge on the diamond.

• Reinforced closed web Design: This model features a structurally stable closed web that provides superior support and impact absorption. The solid structure ensures a consistent, locked-in feel the moment the ball enters the pocket, making it highly reliable for securing high-velocity line drives.

• 12-inch Versatile Pattern: The 12-inch frame offers a perfect balance between agility and expanded defensive range. This pattern provides a deeper pocket than standard middle-infield models, specifically tailored for third basemen who handle aggressive hops or players who prefer a larger receiving area.

Premium Leather & Engineering

Premium Selected U.S. Steerhide

We utilize only top-tier, high-density U.S. Steerhide, processed by professional tanneries to achieve a deep, vibrant color and a natural sheen.

Favored by professional players for its thick, rugged texture, this leather provides the ultimate sense of security and a consistent response throughout its lifespan.

Professional "Firm yet Elastic" Feel

• 100% Customized Fit: This series is delivered with HATAKEYAMA's signature firm yet elastic feel. It is designed specifically for players who take pride in the break-in journey to create a custom fit that perfectly mirrors their hand's unique mechanics.

• The 2-Week Evolution: Through professional mallet work and consistent receiving, the leather gradually develops structural memory. In approximately two weeks, the glove becomes a seamless extension of your hand, allowing you to reach a level of mastery where every play is executed with intuitive, pinpoint precision.

Care & Maintenance

To keep your premium U.S. Steerhide in top condition, we recommend using professional-grade leather maintenance kits.

Proper care prevents the leather from becoming brittle due to sweat or environmental factors, ensuring your equipment delivers peak performance season after season.
