Pre-shaped: [Yamamoto Glove Studio] Pro Essential Kyomei Hardball Catcher's Mitt Model 812V

This hardball catcher's mitt is from the "YAMAMOTO Pro Essential" series, which aims to be a necessity for all baseball players.
Mr. Yamamoto, the representative who forms numerous NPB players' gloves, carefully forms each mitt with passion before sending it out.

The model is the 812V, also favored by Raipachi of Baseball YouTuber Tokusan TV.
It is one size smaller than the 912V model. It is recommended for players who want to firmly catch the ball in a deep pocket despite its compact size.
Creating a pocket right in the middle of the catcher's mitt will produce a good sound.
It is recommended for players who want to catch the ball without twisting or moving the mitt.

The leather used is "CM North European Leather Hard," a leather specifically for catcher's mitts.
To produce a high-pitched catching sound, it uses "tight skin" processing to tighten the grain (surface) of the leather.
The more catches you make, the more tension is applied to the catch point, developing firmness and a solid feel. Mitts that develop firmness and a solid feel will grow into mitts with a high-pitched catching sound.

Instead of grease, "rubber adhesive" is used inside the glove.
The rubber adhesive gives the catching surface more tension, resulting in a more crisp glove.

【Kyomei】 (Resonance) combines "resounding" mitts with "resonance".
A high-pitched catching sound "resounds" far away.
