STRUCTURE / RESPONSE / FORM

PocketFrame

Structured perimeter · Player-shaped pocket

PocketFrame™ is the structural architecture behind the Mount Valorous glove shape. Intentional support through the thumb, pinky, and heel creates a framework around the catching area, helping the glove form around a defined pocket instead of simply softening everywhere at once.

Defined pocket framework Strategic structure Controlled break-in Player-shaped finish
01
FRAME ELEMENT

Thumb Structure

Pocket definition · Counter support

A structured thumb creates one side of the pocket frame, providing a stable edge for the catching area while maintaining the support needed as the glove takes shape.

02
FRAME ELEMENT

Pinky Structure

Outer wall · Shape control

Intentional substance through the pinky side creates the opposing wall of the frame, helping the glove maintain its form as the pocket develops through use.

03
FRAME ELEMENT

Heel Foundation

Stable base · Controlled flex

The heel anchors the lower portion of the glove with enough structure to support the frame while allowing the hand to close naturally through the catching motion.

04
SYSTEM RESULT

Pocket Formation

Three structures · One catching zone

Thumb, pinky, and heel work together around the catching area, encouraging the glove to develop around a defined pocket while leaving the final shape in the player’s hands.
