How do I break in my new softball glove?

I got a new first-basemen softball glove about two weeks ago. I've used it at practice, put shaving cream in it, and placed it under my mattress.


It's close to being broken in but I would really love to use it during my tournament during the weekend.


Any suggestions on how to completely break it in?|||The Rawlings oil is best.....just don't get the 'baking' kit. You rub that stuff in and then put the glove in the oven to speed up the process....it can seriously dry out the leather and the manufacturers of the gloves do not recommend it.|||Rub in glove oil...you get it at Wal-Mart or your local sporting goods store. Use a string to wrap it around the glove with a softball in it. Or put it under your mattress.|||Get a can of mink oil, rub it in, put a ball in the pocket, close the pocket around the ball and tie it shut. I use a big rubber band. Leave it for a couple of days and you're ready to play.


Use the mink oil to keep it conditioned. Happy ball playing!|||Put shaving cream on it put a ball in it and wrap string around it and put it in the oven at 350 for 10 min..|||Purchase some mink oil.





Scoop out a generous amount.





Rub hands together briskly until oil is warm.





Apply and rub in generous amount of oil to the area where you want to create the pocket.





Insert ball into glove then tie shut with shoe strings.





Wrap mit with ball inside in old blanket.





Place blanket wrapped mit on driveway.





Drive back and forth over mit until inspection reveals mit is ready for tournament!





(If you don't have the guts to do this, you can hit it repeatedly with a sledge hammer or rubber mallet. Just keep the blanket around it so you don't mar the leather!)|||1.Shaving Cream

3.Put your oven on at 350, then put a softball in the pocket put rubberbands around the glove and put it in the oven for an hour then play catch.|||There are several ways you can break in your glove! What i did was i put some conditioner in the glove Then put a softball in the glove and wrapped it with rubber bands! Trust me it works alot better! GL|||there are 3 ways i know of.1- buy glove oil from your local sports store and rub a little bit of it all over the glove and repeat till you have the right feeling.2-put a softball in the glove put a towel around it and drive over it with the car.3- (probably the best way) whenever you warm-up use that glove and whenever your team is hiting grab a soft ball and keep throwing it hard into your glove and catching it. hope this helps|||I used to put shaving cream or baby oil in my baseball glove, put the baseball in the pocket, wrap the glove around the ball as tight as possible, and tie it off with rope....Remember, as tight as possible....the glove comes out formed perfectly....|||i always cook my gloves. Look online for directions on how to do it so you dont burn it though. I am also pretty sure that if you go to a sporting goods store they sell some kind of oil with baking instructions on it.|||put a ball in it then put it under your mattress and go to sleep|||This is wat i did i had someone run over it with a car and a bike and i went to sleep on it but just get the glove oil|||A light coat of WD40 and keep working it, about 1 movie at home (or 2 hours). When you go to sleep wrap it in an old towel and back under the matress. Have fun this weekend!!!|||i always just squeeze my new gloves and jump on them.
