  • One of the most common concerns we get from customers is how long it takes to break in a Wilson A2000 ball glove. We show you how we break in a glove in an average of 2-3 weeks using Aso’s hot water technique.

    Aso said the same thing. Do NOT use a string or rubber band. He recommended
    wrapping a towel around it, but that would seem to take longer to dry. I wonder if gauze, or something like it, would be better.
    Also, he said to use the hot water method only once in the life of the glove. And it is good for any leather glove. Thanks for the video, take care.

    Do you use any glove conditioner afterwards? I just used this technique on an A800 my son got today. Right now it’s got a ball wrapped in it until tomorrow. He’ll be playing catch with it tomorrow during his practice session,can I repeat the hot water technique again? Thanks for sharing this video! I would appreciate your input

      Good question Dave I was waiting for his reply also, I am going to use Nikona Glove Condotioner on my new Glove after it drys ovenight I can not see a new leather Glove left un conditioned either etc.

      Aso says that he does not use the hot water technique more than once. Thus, you should use it at the beginning of the break-in period and then use the other techniques that Aso recommends after that.

    Just tried this with the Sierra Romero A2000 softball glove, which is navy, red, and gray. It seems to have helped a bit with the stiffness, but the navy and red colors bled and have stained the gray areas. Disappointing, especially considering that this was not a cheap glove. Just wanted to let others who may be thinking about trying this know.

    @ericeagle9837 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    For goodness sakes YES!!! If you put water on the leather you must oil it afterwards. As a former player and have owned many pairs of work boots, water is hard on leather and over time without oil it will crack.

    • @tmahar77
      @tmahar77 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Oil holds in the glove making it heavier. Water-based conditioners will treat the leather better without adding weight.

    No hot water to white or colored gloves. Also I wouldn’t use a rubber mallet (black rubber can stain) get a small 3 to 5 lbs rubberized dumbbell. I cover it in a white sock, to minimize damage. Also soft surfaces between ground and glove. If you wet a blonde or tan all black you can wrap in a towel and go to town on it with the dumbbell weight. Just my 2 cents! 🥸

    Aso would not approve of this. You need a soft surface in between the glove and the ground so you don’t do damage.

    This Aso technique is used to break in professional players gloves. There's videos of mlb players telling Aso how they want their glove broken in. I just wouldn't use a rubber mallet.

    I would never use hot water or steam on a glove unless you don't mind possibly ruining it. I always break mine in the old fashion wayand never ran into any issues like you will using water of any sort!

    Ridiculous tip. Yea, Aso does it this way, but he’s breaking in new gloves for players who trade them out every few months. For those who would like to keep their glove for at least a few years, this accelerates breakdown.
    Tip, use a product you would use on your own leather (e.g. your skin) like a high quality lanolin... keep a ball in the pocket... and play catch... unbelievably simple... works...and won’t ruin the glove.
