Greatest video ever made for breaking in a glove. After watching your video and following the steps you gave, I broke in my glove and let someone use it once during practice and they were shocked and amazed on how well it felt. Definatly will recommend this video to everyone. Thanks a bunch
This method works Fantastic !!! One thing for anybody doing this. Use Cream Conditioner on the glove after the water had dried out of the glove. Especially on the laces. Use something like Wilson, Rawlings or Nokona Glove Conditioner. Don't use too much just a little. Using the water method dries out the leather a little. So, putting some Cream Conditioner on the glove rehydrates the glove and makes the leather softer. I find this makes the glove and laces last way longer.
I did this on my last glove exactly. Worked amazingly well. I play with 2 fingers in the pinky. So I stuck the end of a screwdriver in the pinky while it was wet. That also worked perfectly! Great video! Thank you!
First off, thanks for taking the time to make your videos, not just anyone is willing to do it! Second, your video is absolutely amazing! I needed to break my brand new Mizuno glove in for a tournament I will be playing in a couple of days, and I followed all your steps! The end result is that I have a game ready glove! I just wanted to also say you are very knowledgeable when it comes to the sport! Thanks again.
Thanks coach - great application and I’m thankful that it seems that you have a passion for the the relationship between parents and their children - so thankful for your deeper application to life - I hope I sense your heart on that - God bless you today
Just bought me and my 4 year old boy our gloves. It's been a long time for me, but I remember it like yesterday my dad breaking in my first glove. Thanks for the refresher and the new tips.
Fantastic video. Did this process for my 6 year old's 10 inch glove and it worked great! Typically the smaller gloves are harder to break in the old fashioned way, as they grow out of them so quickly and don't use them enough to break in that way. My son is now squeezing the mitt and getting a great feel for catching the ball properly.
Alright alright, thanks you guys for all of these super fantastic videos breaking in all of the gloves! Im going to utilize your techniques and get all of my girls’ gloves setup. I used your technique on my glove and both of my daughters gloves.... what a difference it instantly made! My daughters are new to the sport and my youngest was keeping balls in her glove right on the very first catch! I made 2 homemade mallets (lol) after breaking the wooden mallet handle. One I used a 12” softball, as that is the size of ball they are catching to form a bigger size pocket. And then I used a baseball to get it deeper. Again, your technique was a game changer in what I thought was already a somewhat broke in glove. After using your technique it is undoubtably broke in now!!! Thank you, my girls thank you!!!
Thanks man! I got a new glove and caught a couple balls during a game but they fell out of the glove. I did what you've done here for my game tomorrow. Pumped to catch better! Thanks!
Thanks for this video! I have never broken in a glove this way. I just tried it on a new glove and am pretty happy with the results. Do you ever recommend doing this process more than once?
Hey Coach, thank you for taking the time to show and teach how to properly break in gloves! I am wondering if I should use the same sized baseball mallet for a fastpitch softball glove or should I use one that's more of the size of a 12" softball?
Hey coach I coached tee ball for two years and assistant with rookie minors last year. 7-8 year old first year of machine pitch. This is the second year of machine pitch but they combined some tee ballers from last year which this will w their first year of machine pitch. The coach had to bail so I am stepping up. I have been coaching a long time but fairly new to baseball. Do you have or can you recommend a quick timeline for a 2 hour practice ? I know it’s a lot of info but if you have a particular timeline or practice routine any help is appreciated. I have two assistant coaches and one other parent so will typically have four adults at a practice. Thank you for all your great videos, am sharing this with my parents at parents night. Ben
Never played or gave a damn about baseball a day in my life. My kid started baseball practice this week so I started researching and bought a glove for myself. Looking forward to showering with my new glove tomorrow and beating the hell out of it.
Awesome. Do you have any tips for Catchers mitt ? I’ll be doing this to my daughter & sons outfield gloves but my daughters a catcher and her new glove needs major work!
Trying to get my 6 year old into baseball. Just got us both a new glove gonna try this method out. From all the comments I have high hopes. Thanks for the vid.
Great channel bro and videos. i just bought my son a Wilson A2000 pedroia fit. I seen the break in videos on those gloves and yours. Yours seems a li bit easier. Can I use the same process?
Love the videos on breaking in the gloves. Do you have any videos on girls fast pitch softball gloves. That could be your next frontier on glove videos. I’m going to try to use these videos and concepts with a modified mallet for the ball.
Hey Temo, my daughter is in fastpitch softball too and was looking for the same info. We just received the new glove yesterday, I was wondering if you tried the same techniques but with a larger mallet. Seems like it would work the same for the softball gloves.
Got a question. I have a 14 yr old daughter that plays fastpitch for her school and I just got her a custom glove. It's a 12.5 T web. How to break it in and where would you put the pocket?
Thank you so much for this video. We just finished “day 1”. However, i am hesitant to put it out over night in my car since we have had a lot of car break ins around here lately. I am improvising and putting it partially under my very heavy entertainment center. Then in the morning will transfer it out there to the car. Question: it’s late November in NC. It doesn’t get that hot like Miami. Will this still work now?
Glove conditioner recommendations? Big fan of Nokona glove conditioner - just got first pro preferred Rawlings MIF - heard oil can destroy glove and creams and balms better? Any thoughts?
What about the rawlings gloves that are the soft leather? It says its pre broken in. But it is still a little tough for my son and the pocket isn't very big. Would this work still?
We have a Rawlings playmaker series glove 11” Leather pocket. My son plays outfield could you give me some tips on helping to break it in please. Thank you for this awesome video.
@@utahfan4life143 for a 6 year old glove you might just have to play catch with it a lot. Because In these videos we are using the best leather Rawlings has which is their high end gloves for older players.
do you do the same thing with a pitchers glove as the rest of the infield or is there anything different that is done due to it being a pitchers glove? also do you break in Softball gloves and baseball gloves the same way or are they done differently?
Would you use the same method for a softball glove? If after soaking and pounding the glove my daughter still thinks it is too stiff can you repeat the soaking process?
If I put glove oil on a lighter color glove, will it stain it and make it over all darker? I think this method would be better if u wanted to retain the color
Pirate I used a metal strainer and steamed my gloves for approximately 10 minutes. Used a 2nd pot to cover the gloves and it worked really good as well! Like he was saying that the hot wet leather forms instantly using his technique!!!
@@CoachHP yeah thanks bro I've been playing for 5 years now and I don't really know how breaking in the glove works yet I just do it I guess but seriously big help I'll be doing this on my new glove. Thanks brother.
Guys instead of putting in the mallet / a baseball, put in a softball so that the pocket stays big and the glove doesn't become a pancake. OR put in two baseballs. If you're getting a high quality glove like a HOH, pro preferred, A2000, etc. Just break it in with mallet work and catch. The more time it takes to break and the stiffer the glove is the longer it will last.
Solid video! Couple questions. Can you share an amazon link to purchase the mallet and I'm up in Canada. What other things can we do to bake the glove? Thanks and keep up the good work!!
New subscriber and these are probably repeat questions. When/how is glove oil used in the process? Can you use hot water on a glove that has previously been oiled. Great videos - thanks.
Thank you for the subscription man really appreciate it. We don’t use oil on the gloves any more. We do apply a damp cloth after some use to clean off dirt and specs that the gloves do accumulate via use.

Yes sometimes you can get a bigger mallet if available
How do you clean a dusty glove?! I can't tell if it's just dusty or dry. Any tips! Thanks
Hi you can use a damp cloth to take a away the dirt.
Also remember to store the glove away inside not leave it in the bag especially if it’s a high end glove
Guys instead of putting in the mallet / a baseball, put in a softball so that the pocket stays big and the glove doesn't become a pancake. OR put in two baseballs. If you're getting a high quality glove like a HOH, pro preferred, A2000, etc. Just break it in with mallet work and catch.

@@CoachHP oh alright cool, I’ll look more into it. thanks again 🙏
