How to Break-In a STIFF Glove - 4 Him Gloves

❗️ If you need me to Break-In your baseball glove click here👇

Baseball Gloves are always stiff and always require a lot of work to break them in. Sometimes your glove will take one or two days to get ready. Other times it takes 3 months! No one wants to wait that long to use their glove so lets figure out how to change that. By focusing on the Palm Heel and Pocket we won't waste any time breaking in our glove.
The 4 Him Glove turned out great! It truly is a tank and I'm pumped to add it to the glove wall. The best features are the leather quality itself and the laces. I should also mention that the stitching and overall craftsmanship turned out great! There were also some negatives too though. The glove was so stiff that some people would likely be disappointed. Maybe they could give some kind of warning but I'm not sure. The other thing was that there was no where on the glove that marked the size. This is small but most people are going to want the size of the glove somewhere easy to find.

I had a small palm bubble that I worked out, but listen to this guy. It is insanely hard to get out.

Literally just customized a pro stiff 44 that I ordered. I feel like I messed up breaking in my old glove when I was younger, so this’ll be nice to break in a new glove the right way. Can’t wait to get it.

Thanks for these videos. They have been super helpful. I have twins (boy and girl) playing high school and travel baseball/ softball, and been doing my best to help them break their gloves in correctly. Each kid has multiple gloves since my daughter plays multiple positions, including catcher, infield and outfield. My son plays first, outfield and sometimes pitches. We have a few 44 gloves, couple Mizuno, and just recently got a Wilson catchers mitt

I use a Mizuno Pro and those things feel like butter. Doesn’t need any time breaking in. Feels good looks good.

I've had those same water lines on my glove too. I suspect it is from minerals in the water. Either way, what worked for me was a little conditioner after everything was bone dry.

Lovely video as always, if I get a new mitt, I’ll be sure to come back to this video! It’ll be easy to find if I like it!

Good to know. I'm getting a 44 pro glove in 2.5 weeks.

[landondodd]

Thanks for this I’m just ab to get a 44 and I was kind of wondering how to

[Snaxarus]

Perfect timing on the video! I’ve got a pro stiff 574 coming in next week and wasn’t 100% sure how I wanted to break it in yet.

Two stories about palm bubbles:
1. Got a A2K B2 summer before my freshman year at college, got a bubble but the leather is so nice the bubble broke in apart of the glove, barely noticeable 6 years later.
2. Custom A2000 CK22 came with a one as well, and it’s the reason I refuse to use it at all, barely even catch play.
Moral of the story, leather quality makes such a difference it’s crazy.

Dont have a mallet, I was thinking screwing a eyehook into a baseball tie paracord to it get a short stick like cut off shovel handle screw a eye hook into that tieing the paracord to the handle . Kinda like nunchucks but baseball and handle.and spend time whipping it into the pocket...what u think ?

[GriffLovesRust]

just ordered my 44 outfield glove today love the vid

[flogrown]

Wow never saw that happen from the hot water treatment. Done it with 11 44pros and countless HOH and a2000s. Weird. Even Aso says to hot water haha. Great content as always !

[koyomo]

Thanks for the video. Do you have a video on catcher's mitts?

I usually treat mine with oil bc out here during the summer it gets to 116 after a week or 2 of that i start beating the glove in with my hand in it how i would usually wear it to form it correctly then i play catch
