How to Break in a Break in a Glove
Due to the increasing number of requests, I decided to do a demo video of how I break in a baseball glove. Please keep in mind that my process of breaking in a baseball glove is solely mine and I will not be held responsible for anyone's mishaps when performing this process. On my website in the "FAQ" section, I have written out this process in detail.

Personally I think the best way is to just play catch with it. It takes a long time but the end result is a better shaped glove.

The pocket becomes too shallow closing it like that
Thanks for the video. I grew up playing baseball and I always just broke mine in playing catch either with someone, or would throw off a net that would allow the ball to bounce back. Now that my five year old is playing, I'm having to break his glove in for him. This video helped out a lot. Thanks
/Its about 10 degrees outside with 3 feet of snow on the ground. What do I do?

you are an idiot if you put a glove in the over/microwave. Its a baseball glove. Not Sunday's dinner
Disagreed there 3-4 break in points on a glove to properly break in any glove .
The working of a fold on the thumb is something middle infielders do to get the ball in and out quicker, especially in double plays, and especially by 2nd baseman. Breaking in hard on the V alone can create a crease, which can interfere with the smooth flow of the ball in and out of the pocket. Outfield, has a different set of priorities, for which your methods and fold emphasis are great.
I assume this same process works fine for larger gloves (for slow pitch softball). Funny thing is, I've been playing for 5 seasons and still have no clue what it means to break in a glove, where a pocket should be built... etc. My left hand is always hurting after games. I'll try this method. I have small hands so so gloves never feel comfortable to me (I feel like I have zero control of the pinky and ring finger of the glove. I'm sure that breaking in like this will help.
I bought my son a Rawlings red SPYPT1-2ROW at a great price but I have caught with this glove, steamed it at home and put NOKOMA glove conditioner and afterwards beaten this thing silly with a mallet and still is stiff as heck. Only thing the steam (home made) really did was kinda toast the tips on some of the laces. What gives? Can the stiff laces be softened again? I cannot make this thing to close softly. It’s even hard for me. What did I do wrong?
The reason for the thumb crease, which is what i do. Is to completely close the glove around the ball , being an outfielder/1st baseman. Also, when doing the thumb crease some people put 2/3 fingers in the pinky hole, for more control.
I have a rawlings gold glove opti core and it doesn't have the v line but anyway, great video. Very organized!
Can you show me how to oil a glove please -Justin
Hey, I just got a new glove and I am in the process of breaking it in. I bought a glove heat treatment that you rub on your glove before putting it in the oven. Would you recommend using that and will it mess up the glove?

excuse me GloveRelace, i am 11 yrs old and i was wondering what glove you used in the video?
How much does a full reelace and oil and conditioner on a average baseball glove cost
If you break it in right one the thumb it will not leave a gap for the ball to come out>
This works so good
Wouldn't using a thin piece of lace make lines on the back of the glove?
It workes
It's the hard way 🎶

The Rawlings Revo replaced the palm lacing with palm stitching and eliminated the V-notch...
what do you do if you flare our glove... and dont want to fold it in
I tried so many different ways to break in my glove and they didn't work then I tried this and my glove is perfect.
Hey do you need to oil it
wow!so cool
This works the best! Thank you so much!

You really aren't supposed to close your glove just with the pinky size

If you have a mallet or your HAND!!!!! Haha
I thought he ment he broke the glove.

+C MONEY That is the worst thing that you can do to your glove
you your wrong worst way to break in your glove
you broke that in so so so so so wrong its unbelievable. If you close your glove with one break point you need to quit baseball. There is supposed to be a break point on the thumb too. It keeps the pocket large enough to where the glove will close almost around the ball, so it doesn't pop out. YOU sir, are horribly wrong.

Thumb breaks on a glove and pajama length pants are two things that are awful in every way.
Don’t try this
just sleep on your glove lol
The Wilson Wet Breaking in Glove method is the Best way yet Period
If you oil your glove and you don't have anyone to play catch with, you can always use a pitching machine if you have one. Just a thought 😊
My personal opinion is just to use the glove without any outside tools other than just simply using it. Just because it will naturally break in to how you use it. Nothing is better than the natural use of a glove to naturally break it in. That's just my opinion.
you are a very neutral guy, i like that. I just go and have a catch, but i like you

wes harding same
great tip to fold the pinkie in.
I once used a glove already broken in this way and felt completely comfortable with it even though the shape looks funny and ugly (flat flat). These comments keep saying not to do this but never explained why, don't mind them.
hey thanks for the vid but when u said the glove's heel should form like a v instead of a u shape isn't that how you get a pancaked glove. Also how do you prevent your glove from turning into a pancake. thank you
I usually use mink oil witch is supposed to be for waterproofing boots.do u think its okay?
btw, i use a little bit of mink oil right along the break in line, then fold it over and pound it flat with my fist. then just snap some pitches into it fast pitch softball style.
Shouldn’t you close the glove with ur thumb? I know it creates the hole but does it not make a bigger pocket especially with 2 in the pink?
Ok love all your videos
Thnx man! Just got a new glove so it worked!
I live in canada..... Will 2 degrees work... For ferinhight that would be like. 40 f
Thanks man. Helped a lot!!
This will just ruin your glove.
If you have like an a2000 like me it will ruin the glove cause it ruins the adhesive so the palm leather is not connected to the liner.

What conditioner do you use to make the glove stiff again
@thegoat3877
8 жыл бұрын
Conditionner didn't make the glove stiff again, it just makes the leather not dry, so it will be cleaner and softer and it gonna last a long time
all I do when I get a new glove is tie it up with a ball in it and put it under my bed. I think its all a personal opinion. I like the break point to be almost completly to the left of the v, but i still liked this video :)
Have you tried the freezer?
just did this and it worked but the laces by the palm are still squeaky. help?

Welcome to glove ruining 101
Use hot water, the sun will dry out your glove too quick, use hot water to keep moisture in the glove, watch Aso from wilson, he is the king of glove break in
You could have done this video with a new one and all the proper steps . Could have given a better idea for true amateurs like myself , thanks have a good day ,!
