    I do hot water first, do my stretching next, I use a mallett to beat a deep pocket in, I shape my glove just like you, beat the same hinge points, I also like the heel stiff, and I beat the hinge points again once dry. The rest is played in. Great video man.

    I was having trouble getting my son's gloves broken in enough that he could manage them (he's small with weak hands) so I got desperate and put them in the dryer with some wet clothes, and played catch immediately after taking them out of the dryer. Not sure I would do it on my own glove, but not sure I wouldn't, but it worked well on his (Rawlings R9 and Akadema AZR95).

    Hey man! Love your vids, I’m really struggling to get my 44 pro stiff first base mitt’s pocket soft enough. I’ve watched this and your other vid of the 44. I’ve got blonde leather and green laces so I’d rather not hit water it haha.

    • @ballgloveking
      @ballgloveking  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I’d say it’s smart to not hot water, something that is good is for you to use it when it’s hot and sweaty out. Like try to practice in it if you can. It can make a huge difference sometimes. But if you’re anywhere around me it’s getting chili outside so that’s hard.
      If that’s the case I’d say as much as it stinks you just gotta keep working and working on it with a mallet or just a ball if that’s all you have. In the end you can’t go wrong with playing a ton of catch!

    For palms that are too thin and you can’t get rid of hand sting, here’s what I’ve been doing since 1989.
    Get a piece of Velcro, the furry side. Not the hard plastic side.
    Cut a piece where the sting is and stick it in there. It’s a soft pad that works, costs almost nothing and will last as long as the glove does.
    You won’t notice the weight or even that it’s there if it’s in the right spot.

    I don't usually do the water softening trick unless I need to use a glove within a few days. If I do, I dry the glove in a closed position with a ball in the pocket. Tie it closed or stuff it in between the dash/window of my car. Pull it out in 24 hrs and play an hour of catch, glove will feel delightful and genuinely game ready. (unless a catchers mit.... in this case another 10 years of catch should be good to go;)

    Thank you so much for this video! My sister got a new softball mit over the off-season, and no matter what she did, it wouldn't break in. so, right B4 her first practice, she tasks me to break it in for her. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful, so my sister had to use her old mit. A week or two ago, my sister said that she'd pay me $50 if I could break in the mit by the end of April, so she could use it for the last month of games in May. After watching this video, I broke in the mit, and I am $50 more rich. Pro tip for those who have coloured laces, instead of using the hot water treatment, put 2-4 kilograms of weight on the mit and leave it overnight (6-8 hours). After that, the mit will close like my dad's high school first baseman mit. ( When you normally set it down, it flops close) I will say my experience with the 2-4kg on the mit: if you want every single part of the mit lose, use it. The reason I had to do this is because my sister got a blonde mit with orange laces. I didn't want to get the blonde, almost white mit stained with orange on the fingers. For anyone who's wondering, black and orange are my schools colours, thus the orange laces.

    best thing ive ever done to break in a glove is to steam it. Just used a large pot of water, a collander, and a large frying pan lid. This kept it out of the water and you're able to control temp pretty easily on your stove. After, I used Glovolium and while it was still steamed, I used a glove mallet in the pocket and on the seams and thumb. Took about 30 min.

      H web is the best all around low maintenance web, but if you’re SUPER picky with your gloves and don’t mind the maintenance, a 6 finger trap web is the best. I find Wilson makes the most sturdy trap web while having that typical trap web deep pocket.

    Do you still hot water a glove with superskin or snake skin? Do these materials change your break in approach? Thanks

    Is there any chance you have a 44 Pro Japan Select? I’ve been eyeing one down for myself, but I’ve heard mixed reviews. I’m not really in a position to pick one up and not use it if I don’t like it.

      Yeah, they look pretty unique but nobody seems to be buying or reviewing them. I have a signature series outfield softball glove, but I’m looking for one with a wider heel for when I play third. I might go for the JP11 or 574 then. Thanks for the quick reply.

      Japanese gloves in general have straighter fingers, MUCH wider heels and palms, shallower pockets, and because of their shape, run a bit shorter than we’d think they are. (11.75 might feel more like an 11.5). I’d only use one if you have bigger hands and like the straighter fingers. Definitely a unique style of glove.

    I have used corn and rice bags to shape break in gloves. You put the corn bag in the microwave for 2 min and just put it in the glove. I also like to use a little glove oil inside and out while I do this. This causes the glove oil to sink in and loosen up the glove.
