Great video. I'm going to be sharing these break-in videos with my goalies. So, so many sessions of parents saying "Yeah. I'd like you to work on their glove, they're having trouble catching pucks." Then I get on the ice and the glove is essentially a mail slot for pucks, zero break-in.
First!! Thanks!!! Bauer's also seem to get mushy palms. Ccm's seem to have issues breaking in, and restiffen, or something. Thanks so, so much. I've bought and sold 10? Cause my son is picky. I wonder how much time/energy I could have saved. His 2x int I did fix, it was worlds better. But, uh, it took me, forever. I can't believe a softball does anything in some gloves, as the pockets are huge. I'll try it again. I have also used a recorder shaft (at least good for something! Haha) as a mini stick. Also, parents, buying used stuff is a time saver, just sanitize or ozone it, gets rid of some of smells. No break-in. Saves $.
I am very thankful for your video as my son has the exact same junior CCM glove you showed and had the exact same problem (bought it second hand and was like that). I thought his hand was simply not big or strong enough to close the glove, but realized there was an issue when he took MY senior glove and was able to close and open it with no problem. I put his glove in the oven @150F for 10 min, put a stick in it like you did and put it in the freezer for the night. It looks way better this morning and will be able to tell if the problem is resolved tonight after his game. Thanks again!
@@buhboni7324 well, while I personnaly think his glove was very soft and easy to close and open, he could not do it. At some point, it may be a hand size/strength issue

Do you remember if this ended up fixing the issue?

I have a Bauer 3x glove this works great, but how can you fix finger curl?
How should I fix my Bauer m5 pro int it? It has the pinching in the middle and the palm on the finger side is bulging out
