Specialized Solid Web: Featuring a one-piece solid web design, this glove offers total concealment, preventing hitters from detecting your grip or pitch type through the gaps. The solid structure also provides superior resistance to deformation, ensuring a firm and supportive feel during every catch.

Crafted from strictly selected, high-grade U.S. Steerhide, this leather features a deep, vibrant color and natural sheen. Its thick and high-density texture is preferred by professional players for its exceptional impact absorption and long-term durability.

Customized Fit: Delivered with a firm yet elastic feel (Hard-core with high resilience), this series is ideal for players who take pride in the break-in process to achieve a truly 100% custom fit tailored to their hand.

Rule Compliance Note
While the White lacing and binding provide a high-definition aesthetic and striking visual identity, please be aware: Many official professional leagues (such as CPBL, NPB) and strict student associations have specific regulations prohibiting the use of white or grey-white colors on pitcher gloves.
