Our most popular series has been improved for the 2006-2007 Season! Incorporating patent pending Pocket 2 Technology, the Franchise Excel has taken glove design to a new level. By increasing the pocket, or catching area, by 32% over previous Franchise models, the Franchise Excel makes catching easier with more control. Most gloves also feature our exclusive PowerLock™ technology, the simplest and most secure locking system available, and PalmSoft™ lining combined with Parashock™ palm pad for added protection and comfort.
