What is the best way to break in a softball glove?

Answer 1

oil it, put a ball in the heel and pocket and put it under your matress (way old school huh?)

Answer 2

Get Glove conditioner, a ball, and rubber bands or a pair of laces.

Oil it up, put the ball in it, then wrap it and tie it off. It will form a nice pocket around the ball.

Then use it, check to make sure the laces are tight after the first few games.

Answer 3

first use oil, to soften up the leather, then put a softball in the pocket, and wrap it closed with either a belt or rope....

i'd undo it probably in 2 days, put your hand in the glove and see how it feels....then repeat it again a couple times, and then just play with it....

Answer 4

I saw a clip of a major leaguer telling one to apply shaving cream instead of oil because it's a beter lubricant, it was his opinion and it seems to have worked, but you also have to use a ball to form a good pocket. Best thing to do is to get the leather soft, then play alot of catch with it.

Answer 5

oil it, stick a ball in the pocket and wrap a couple rubber bands around it to get a good deep pocket. then, use it.

Answer 6

Ummm...Use it...
