For everyone doubting it works, I've done this on past gloves and it works beautifully. I'm breaking in a new A2K and I can almost squeeze it all the way already.

So you basically ignored most of his video. Got it.

A guy I know was in upper management at Wilson and he made it possible for me to spend a day with Aso to learn glove lacing and break in. It was great.

He is brilliant. Forget all of the other videos; take his word for how to do this.

At 6:56...The absolute expert in gloves says, "Playing catch is the best way to break in a glove. This is the short cut way...." So, if you're worried about jacking up your glove by beating it up, just listen to Aso and go play catch.

You inspired me Aso. I used your method on one of my granddaughter's new gloves but, on her second one when I had misplaced the mallet, I did this and it worked to perfection! First, I gave the glove a generous coat of Neats Foot oil, my old-old favorite. Then I placed the glove on the floor on a piece of cardboard so as not to get oil on the floor. Then I removed my shoes and using my 200 lbs of body weight and my heels, gave that glove a complete "loosening up" workout, inside and outside, for about 5 minutes. Voila! A loose glove! The extra weight added to the glove by the amount of oil is negligible!

Haha, he's so aggressive, I was like NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! But then i thought, well this guy is famous for breaking in gloves so I trust him.

Yea that's no joke

I've used this method on 3 new gloves AND IT WORKS! In addition to the hot water I will use Lexol Leather Conditioner on days 2 and 3 but repeating Aso's glove beating method each time I apply Lexol. Lexol is not a thick paste like other glove conditioners. It's very liquidy and runny like water except that it contains Lanolin which is very good for the leather and it makes the glove highly pliable. Try it. You'll like it.

Without Aso life would be different.

Dylan Wszolek hot water softens the leather and makes it easier to form that why he used hot water

for infield i recommend using a 12 inch softball on the pocket when the glove is wet, then going to the 11 inch when its dry, only if you dont have a mallet. for outfield i recommend using a 12 inch softball for the whole process so you create a very deep pocket (the glove shouldnt be able to close easily around it, just enough that the edges close around it)

Me. Aso is only one of few master baseball crafter in the world. I personally do not like using hot water (or any kind of water) but when Mr. Aso does it, I trust his technique. For 70 year old dude, he is on wicked shape.

Here is the thing.....hes breaking in the glove this way because most major leaguers dont use the same glove for more than a year or 2. Using water on a glove is not the greatest thing long term but is the best way to break in the glove as soon as possible. I will use this technique with my 11 year olds glove I will be getting soon and will probably need to purchase a new glove in a couple years because of him growing.

so we basically put hot water and beat the glove up

If your using your Glove for an infield position, You want a shalow pocket in it So you can get the ball out of it much faster etc.A deeper Pocket ok for an outfield position etc.

Bro is just casually touching the 170° water

at 2:11 did this man's start laughing 😂

if you don’t have a mallet just get a baseball, put it in a sock, twist it and use that as a mallet.

Give it a good application of glove oil. Put a ball in the pocket. Close the glove across the break and put it under the foot of a heavy piece of furniture, like bed or table, on the break. After a few days, its ready to use. You want to make sure that the glove closes where it should, as it was designed. The oil moisturizes the leather, strengthens it and softens it up. As a general rule, don't use water, as it takes the natural oils out of the leather and dries it out. You don't have to beat the crap out of it to break it in. Just use it, play catch.

wont the water ruin the glove?
