I bought a new softball mit about a week ago and I put a softball in it and put rubberbands around it and left it for two days. I then used it to play a little and it is still pretty tough to use. I need to soften it up before my summer season start in june. Any suggestions?

The best way I've found is to use some glove oil you can find any where that sells gloves. Rub it all over your glove (but just a small amount) then put the softball in it a tie it closed. Leave it alone for a day or so and then play some catch with it. You can repeat this a few times to get your glove to the optimal playing condition. Here's a site that goes a little more in depth and gives you links for glove oil.

Try taking a softball and throwing it into your mitt as hard as you can for a while. If that doesnt work just put a softball in your glove, put some oil on it and wrap up a string around it and leave it alone for a while.

1. Use it. A lot.
2. go back to where you bought the glove and see if they have any glove softener. Those products work pretty well

Aren't there some creams/ conditioners you can put on your mit to make it softer? Sorry I dont know what they're called or who makes them, but you can probably get them at Wal-mart or Academy, or your local sporting goods store.
