How can I break in my new softball glove without using oils or creams?

So I decided to tryout for the softball team and I got a glove and I'm trying to break in my glove before tryouts. What's a good way to break in a new glove without having to buy any oil or anything like that?|||You can do a lot of things to break in a glove.


The most efficient way to do it is to use it. Play catch with a friend or teammate.


You could just throw a softball into it over and over and over as well.|||Ok so I just got a new glove the day before yesterday...... and by the next day I could use it! So what I did is let one of your parents or friends throw to you softly or I sat on it for like 10 minutes and that helped a little. And also you may HAVE to use glove oil it helps to use it much faster..... it doesn't hurt the glove or make the ball slip out of it....... or just keep the ball in it a tie a rubber band or shoelace around the glove and let it sit. :))|||well it depends how much time you have. try leaving a softball in it and then wrapping a rubber band around it for as long as possible. also, try pushing down on the web part whenever you're not using it, just to soften it a bit.|||put a softball in it close it and put it under your mattress that's what I did with my baseball glove.|||throw the softball into it over and over again|||Put a ball in it and put it under your mattress or pillow for a few night. It's uncomfortable, but it does work.|||put a softball in it and tie the glove closed and leave it!|||practice with it as much as possible. i would say bend it, but that may mess it up|||Put your glove in an oven for a couple of minutes. Most, definatly keep an eye on it.
