This guy has enough gloves for everyone in the world! 🌎
schlac daddy Chris could singlehandedly end world glove hunger
Yes he could😂
schlac daddy I agree with you because he has a lot of baseball gloves just wow 😳 he has tons
You probably dont give a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the new series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my gf lately :)
@Karsyn Kylo Definitely, have been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself =)
You're video showed more tips that were little but much more helpful. I'm definitely gonna apply your methods to my 44 glove. Thank you. I subscribed as well 👍🏼
Rey Garcia, Super glad to hear that bro!
plot twist: the sped up video isnt actually sped up, he's just going that fast
THIS GUY IS MY SHORTSTOP AND I LOVE IT
All I do to break in my gloves is Stretch the laces and play catch. flare the thumb and pinky as I play catch. I'm too scared to put water on my gloves lol
I understand haha, I’m the same way with certain gloves
What team do you play for??
@@tysfishingworld4734 I played High school ball and now im a washed up ball player playing slowpitch LOL
Join the club baby!
Definitely the funniest glove TH-camr 😂
The mom meter is soooooooo true
Im going to buy a 44 soon and i know for a fact this is easily the most helpful video ive seen on how to break in a glove
Or rather look up Jim Traber on how to break in a glove. He played 1st base in MLB.
Great video. Keep it up. 👍⚾️
Your vids are getting better and better, keep it up. Aslo this was very helpful. One more thing, what glove type from 44 is the best option for 2nd base in baseball?
Thanks so much for the encouragement bro! And for second base I would recommend either the basic 44 pro model or if you like having a deeper pocket I’d recommend the 574 pattern. I’m personally a big fan of both but the 574 feels really great. And a second baseman typically ushers a glove either 11.25 or 11.5
I’m in love with that color way
Your style in gloves it littttttt
Got my first 44 glove yesterday. It’s freaking stiff. My sons Rawlings HoH came the same day and his glove is like butter.
Favorite sport! Favorite TH-camr for gloves! What could go wrong!
Just got a new 44 this year, greatest bang for buck in gloves today!
True
I have been breaking in gloves for over 60 years. My grandson got a new Pro 44 that I broke in for him absolutely the hardest glove I ever broke in I think I will try your hot water technique.
They are very stiff you got that right!
I would be lying if I tried to tell you I did not go and re create and buy this exact glove. Fell in love with it the first time I watched your unboxing.
Lol I love to hear that!
I'm legit THIS CLOSE to doing the same thing. So many options but...I keep coming to this one. We shall see...
Badass video, one of the best out there on TH-cam
Thanks so much bro
I just got a new pro 44 and the leather is awesome still breaking it in but just taking my time
Hey man! Great video! I just got the Wilson A2000 VG27 (LOVE IT) I just poured the warm water and beat it with a softball.. I don’t get my mallet till the next couple of days. So my question is, do you wet it only once or do you repeat the process? And if so about how many times? Thanks bud
Great question, I would usually do it once only but I’ve done it twice before. It doesn’t damage the glove but you don’t wanna get the glove too wet. If you did it too many times it could dry the leather out which could be fixed by using glove conditioner if it came down to that. But you would be ok doing it a second time
The accent color for the denim should be oiled chestnut, I can see an all denim glove with oiled chestnut binding, welting and oiled chestnut web. tan laces and that would be nice too
Th at would definitely look good
Chris Bangert and better yet, maybe some tan paisley
You should make a vid of breaking in a catchers glove
i have an idea for you. do a live stream where the audience designs your glove. you choose the position you want it for, but they choose the model, webs, colours, and every other thing, including the text
Hey, great video and beautiful glove. I’ve been thinking of picking up a 44 for third, so what model would you recommend? Also when can I get one the cheapest? (As in a sale) And one more question, what exactly is the kip palm liner?
I know they have a sale through the end of tomorrow for 20% of and that’s one of their bigger sales so maybe try to take advantage of it. For third I would reccomend 11.75 at the smallest but a 12 inch glove would probably be best.
The kip palm liner is a higher quality liner where your hand actually touches the inside, this allows you to actually pick a color for the liner rather than it being the normal black color. I got it on my last 44 and I honestly think it’s my favorite part of the glove. I say it’s worth the money
Simple steps.
1. Wet new glove with hot water.
2. Insert baseball in web.
3. Put it under car tire over night.
4. Voahla! Broken in glove!
Why would u put it under a car tire r u out of ur mind
Man that’s what I call a glove collection
that glove is a beaut
wow i wish i had one of those gloves
Thank you. I just bought a 44 glove and this will help alot
Trevor Bollin super glad to hear that bro!
Did it work with the hot water?
@@joseescarcega6161 idk I uavent recieved my glove. I think i will do the classic playing catch and mallet
I just ordered a custom 44 glove. How long should it take to come?
Do a video how to flare a glove
I have/had every manufacturer at some point except Nokona, ssk, all star(i know they're not exclusive to catcher's mitts but that's their bread and butter) and 44. obv with the bigger mlb players they get paid to use certain brands but u do see your share of pros using 44s. not being too familiar with them, are they pretty much 100% custom? I'm assuming they do have endorsement deals. Domingo German jumps at me right away when I think 44, also alvarado castillo and yandy Diaz (still on the rays?) I did my first custom a few weeks ago, a hoh dct..the few 1b 44 customs I saw had the 2x bar lacing...forget what it's called but the same web style rizzo uses. They offer a standard single post 1b web? I've heard the customization is very good and detailed, more than rawlings and wilson. and the price point I've heard is very fair and reasonable. Will prob go custom again for my next glove, 44 would be a good choice? thanks!
My first 44 arrives in a couple weeks. I’m excited to break that baby in.
It’s the best feeling to finally get it in the mail!
Chris Bangert I bet. Their customer service is terrible, in my experience. But as long as I love my glove it will have been worth the wait. Thanks for the vid.
I’m curious if you have any nice gloves you don’t use you would want to sell. My son could use a nice glove, but he doesn’t need a $200+ glove. He’s 10 and plays short stop also.
Oooo girl look at him!
Would it be okay to do the hot water treatment on a sky blue and pink glove?
Hey chris what up I’m new to the channel I can’t believe how many baseball gloves you have wow I have 3 baseball gloves and they are all Rawlings
That's awesome bro, I love Rawlings they make some beautiful gloves
Chris Bangert Oh yea
sick glove you should do a 44 catchers mitt
Max Beckett I’m super tempted to man, problem is I just know that I wouldn’t use it a ton. If this channel is successful I totally get one at one point!
Any tips to make sure glove doesn’t get a crease in Palm. My last glove did. I think it’s from forcing it to close when having catch too early? So should you have a catch after you do the steps you went over?
sorry for the very delayed response but yes you do not want to force the glove closed early on as that leads to creasing, I always pound the palm a lot (with a mallet) while breaking it in to avoid it creasing.
What happened to the yellow and red 44 on the glove wall
I still have it I just need to relace it, struggling to decide what color. Might do something weird like purple and just let the glove be ugly
Man his account has grown so much in this video he was asking us to get him to 500 subscribers now he’s at 7,000
Let’s gooo!
@@ballgloveking I’m a big fan man
So I just got my new 44 outfielders glove, I know you play infield but if there any suggestions on braking in a glove for softball that's different from baseball?
No there’s isn’t any major differences, I’d just say with an outfield glove it’s usually nice to have it really broken in so do a lot of work with it
@@ballgloveking yea I've had it for only a day bow and I feel like ibe put 3-4 hours into breaing it in already. Not rushing it just working in the small parts!
That's exactly how I ended up being my teams shortstop
How did you get dual welting on a 12.5" glove and is that softball or baseball
Hey man I have another question do you think If I put Vaseline on my glove would it be the same as glove conditioner I’m still have trouble break in my 44 pro stiff first base glove
I have never used it personally but I have heard of other people doing that, sorry man I don’t have much input
It’s ok
im too scared to put water on my glove, so i have spent the last 7 months still trying to break mine in (its hard when i dont go at it consistently, and i cant play catch cause of the rona)
Hey man I just got a 44 pro glove and it’s all white with pink laces and binding. Is it okay to do the hot water treatment, I’m just asking so I don’t ruin my glove or have the colors fade?
I’d go ahead and not hot water it
Pretty dang sure that would bleed
@@ballgloveking ok thanks man so much keep doing what your doing
what size is that 44? great video.. will be ordering one soon
It’s 12.25
Last question lol. When u ordered ur 44 did u get this as a men’s softball 12.25 or baseball at 12.25?
I did men’s softball
I just got a black a2000 pedroia fit. I’m really hesitant to hot water it because I’ve never done it before and heard that it can make colors run and make mold grow in the glove.
With an a2000 I would actually highly recommend it. The hot water method was started by Wilson and they recommend doing it to their gloves. Always up to you in the end bro!
Chris Bangert thanks man. Great video
Should I get a railings custom?
You should get the ssk Javi Baez model I heard the Japanese cowhide leather is STIFF
Who knows maybe I will, I am pretty interested in it
I have it. I've had it for about a year, and it's still a little stiff, but I didn't do hot water or anything.
Should I wrap my 44 with a softball
Can you avoid/fix creases on the palm liner? Wondering so I can avoid doing it on my next gloves being made
You're less likely to get creases the slower you break it in. A lot of time creases are formed from forcing the glove to close when it is still really stiff. If you take your time and don't force it to close until it can easily close all the way.
@@ballgloveking thanks, fortunately the one glove I got it on I don't feel it when I'm playing with it but it is a little unpleasant knowing its there every time I slip my hand in lol
When you ordered your 44 glove how long did it take to arrive
It took a little over a month a believe
mine took about a month and a half
For mine 1month 6 days
Mine is currently on week 7 and it’s not even shipped
Can you flare your glove without doing the hot water treatment
Yes 100%, you just want to keep on flaring them out and eventually they well stay
How do you bend the thumb without the hot water?
You just need to constantly pull on it like while playing catch or fielding ground balls
Is this a baseball glove your using for softball or is it a softball glove? Either way I’m interested what size it is?
It's a men's softball glove and its 12.25
if you dont have a mallet, what is a good substitute that most people have around the house?
Fork
What color is that web
May I ask what color on that glove? Is that blond or yellow? I tried to custom a glove with that color on 44 website but couldn't seem to get that right color.
The color is blonde
@@ballgloveking Thanks!! #MINE
I have a black and blond pocket and red laces first base glove do you think it will ruin the laces if I did hot water ?
I have seen the red bleed into the blonde before with 44’s. It doesn’t necessarily ruin it but it does make the color bleed so it’s up to you
Ah then definitely not man 😂 thanks tho
It's Pro Stiff!
"That's what she said ..."
i just got my glove today the colors are black and red do you think i could hot water it
The main thing that matters is the laces, but nothing is going to bleed into black so you should be fine
or do like i do and play catch with a weighted softball
I need to find out quickly 😂
I feel so bad for the gloves on the bottom of that stack
Just grab and twist twist twist😏😏
What’s the usually turn around time for a custom 44??
6 Weeks
Does the glove get heavier?
Does the glove get more stiff when it dries?
When it’s dry it is not heavier and it is always gonna be stiffer than when it was wet. When you use the hot water it loosens it up and it feels great but once it’s dry it’s gonna feel much stiffer than while it was wet. I mostly use the hot water treatment to form the glove not to make it looser
@@ballgloveking what color is the net
would a blonde glove w black laces be fine? And does the water damage the glove
Dane Moberly the water does not damage the glove, the only problem is the color bleeding, I would like to say that you would be fine to do it with black laces but I can’t say it 100% will be ok. I would hate if I told you it would be fine and then it did not work.
@@ballgloveking ok thank you! I'm a little nervous to do it but I need to finish breaking in my glove quickly in the next few weeks
Do you have any custom pro perfereds
I do not sorry bro
this would have been the best glove possible if you got your logo on the palm with colours
Can I still do this stuff without using the hot water treatment and it still be just as good
depends on what color your glove is
Do 44 come with mallet
After the glove is broken in, can u still hot water it to shape it better?
I have but I would say to use some conditioner on it afterward
@@ballgloveking thanks
What model of signature series and size is the glove?
It’s the normal 44 pro model with dual welting selected and it’s 12.25”
@@ballgloveking Thank you sir.
We should collaborate some time I don’t think we live to far away from each other #northern #hemisphere
St.Louis?
I’m from chicago but I was raised a St. Louis Cardinals fan
Chris Bangert I have lived in Illinois and have grown up loving the cardinals went to my first game when I was 2. Keep up the work this was something very important to know to all of the kids that do not know how to break in a glove
Only one glove for every day of the year
Any glove you would let go for cheap?
C&T Casting I’m never totally against selling them, if you see a specific one you want just ask me about it, you can see more of my gloves on my Instagram
Chris Bangert Any glove that is a 11.75 to 12.25 that you would let go for cheap
Message me on Instagram and I can show you what I have

Far far from it my friend
I bought two 44 Gloves and they will not fit on my hand....a wooden spoon handle will not go in the fingers, but 44 Gloves says they are mine now. I threw them away.

I just play softball with some buddy’s
That sounds like funny
