Breakin it in

put a ball in the glove and a rubber band around it, and put it under your matteress when you go to sleep but shaveing cream method will also work

Shaving cream+play catch with it.

Vasoline, Olive oil, & catch daily. Your glove will be ready in a week.
The vasoline softens the leather really well.
The olive oil keeps dirt from sticking.
I put olive oil on my glove every couple of months.

Olive oil, huh? never heard of that. Might have to give it a try.

Doyle baseball (http://www.doylebaseball.com) has a method that I swear by.

1. Sumberge the glove underwater for 20-25 seconds.
2. Wipe off the excess water then put two balls in the pocket, 1 at the bottom, and one directly above it.
3. Wrap the glove in string or twine and et it hang in a closet or something overnight.
4. Unwrap the glove and start stretching the fingers apart and work the glove by grabbing the thumb with one and and the pinky with the other and vigourously moving your hands up and down to loosen the lacing.
5. Use Shaving cream with LANOLIN!!! to help break in even further at hinges.


Good luck

personally i just play catch with it. i dont like putting liquids in my glove and when i play catch with it, it breaks in the way i want it in about 2 weeks pretty well.
