Baseball catchers mit help

Question

i have just got a new catchers mit and it is really stiff and hard to move is there any way to wear in the glove fast

Answer 1

play catch with it as much as you can

oil it pretty frequently to loosen up the leather. i use mink oil, its pretty good and i like what it does for my gloves.

more importantly just play catch, or while wathcing tv toss a ball up and catch is as you just sit there.

Answer 2

I have a couple unusual tricks. You can put shaving cream on the mitt and put it in the microwave and it loosens up. (Seriously! I've tried it!). You can also play catch with it, and when you are done playing catch, put a ball inside the glove and get a rubber band and put it on the glove. All 3 of these things work, I have tried all of them on my glove and it is REALLY broken in.
