How To Break In A Brand New Baseball Glove?
Contents
You’ve just bought a brand new baseball glove and are excited to use it in the upcoming season. But before you take the field, you need to break in your glove. Here’s how to do it.
Soak the glove in warm water for 30 minutes.
To break in your new baseball glove, start by soaking it in warm water for 30 minutes. This will help to soften the leather. Next, roll the glove up tightly and tie it with a rope or piece of string to help keep its shape. Then, stuff the glove with newspaper and put it in a warm place overnight. In the morning, remove the newspapers and shape the glove into its final form. Finally, apply some leather conditioner to help protect the glove’s material.
Apply glove conditioner to the glove.
Applying glove conditioner to the glove is one of the most effective ways to break in a new baseball glove. The conditioner will help to soften the leather, making it more flexible and pliable. It will also help to preserve the glove and extend its lifespan.
To apply the conditioner, start by working it into the palm area of the glove. Then, using your fingers, work it into all of the creases and folds in the glove. Once you have worked the conditioner into all areas of the glove, wrap it tightly in a clean cloth and allow it to sit overnight.
Wrap the glove in a towel and shape it.
To break in a brand new baseball glove, wrap the glove in a towel and shape it. While shaping the glove, work the laces back and forth to loosen them up. Once the laces are loosened, put your hand inside the glove and shape it into a cup. Leave the glove wrapped in the towel overnight so it can hold its shape.
Place a ball in the glove and tie it shut.
There are a few ways that you can break in a brand new baseball glove. One way is to place a ball in the glove and tie it shut. This will help the glove take the shape of a ball and make it more flexible. Another way is to rub petroleum jelly or other lubes into the leather. This will help soften the leather and make it more pliable. You can also try breaking in your glove by playing catch with it. Just throw the ball back and forth with someone to help loosen up the leather.
Repeat this process for a few days.
To break in your new baseball glove, start by spraying a light layer of shaving cream on the outside of the glove. Then, use your hand to work the shaving cream into the leather in a circular motion. Next, wrap the glove in a towel and let it sit overnight. In the morning, remove the towel and use a hairdryer to heat up the glove for about 10 minutes. Finally, put on your baseball glove and play catch with it to loosen up the leather even more. Repeat this process for a few days until your glove is fully broken in!
