Wearing in keeping gloves
« on: August 19, 2015, 08:41:42 PM »

Any tips?  I have put them in elastic bands before and under mattresses, any other ideas?  Aside from wearing them and catching balls obviously!!

I have found the bat mallet to be the quickest way.

I broke mine in by wearing them whilst watching something on TV for a few hours whilst constantly flexing my fingers. Watching a cricket match on TV is ideal as you're not likely to be changing the channel for a few hours so you don't have to keep taking a glove off.

My current gloves (GN Omega XRD) didn't need any breaking in as they are very thin but the GN legends I had before needed a little bit.

I did the usual throwing a ball between each hand and tried to pinch my thumb to each finger repeatedly and made fists while I watched TV. I think wearing them whenever you can will gradually mould them to your hands too with the heat your hands produce.
