What You Need To Know About Breaking in a New Glove

You can ask 100 people how to break in a glove and you will get 100 different answers. The following suggestions come from my own personal experiences gained over 16 years of glove repair and use. There really isn't an overnight solution to breaking in your glove.

Here is a step by step process to correctly break your new glove:

1. Play catch with someone, the more catching you do the better the glove will form to your hand and fingers.
2. When you’re finished playing catch, place a baseball or softball in the pocket of the glove (We prefer using a softball to increase the size of the pocket). Then close the glove around the ball. Using a string or rubber band to tie the glove by only firmly enough to keep it closed. Repeat this step whenever you are not using the glove until the glove is broke in the way you want it, this will help hold the shape of your pocket.
3. Repeat steps 2 and 3, until the glove is broke in. The more you use your new glove the faster the glove will break in.

Glove Repair Do’s

• Keep a ball in your glove when it is not being used.
• Condition your glove occasionally to prevent drying and cracking.

Glove Repair Don'ts

• Do not submerge your glove under water, some believe this is a quick solution to breaking in you glove. All you are doing is ruining the leather and run a risk of cracking and drying out your glove.
• Do not put your glove in the oven or microwave.
• Do not dry your glove using a heat source such as a hair dryer.
• Do not buy a pre-broken in glove, they are not as durable and will not last as long.
