Hot GloveHot Glove Break-in Kit Glove Care Management System - Break in Kit for Baseball and Softball Gloves

Great product. Follow directions. Did process 3 times in a row. Glove broke in quickly. Then rub conditioner on and it looks very good.

This glove break-in kit works wonders! It softened the leather quickly and helped shape the pocket perfectly. Easy to use, and it got my glove ready for the season in no time. Highly recommend!

Works well and easy to install.

Works great to help break the gloves in.

Follow directions. Works like a charm!!

My son just recently started in a traveling team. I purchase a brand new glove you know “keep up with appearances” and after following the instructions to this product, he was able to use the glove the very next day and it was broken in perfectly! He did not struggle with it one bit.Be warned tho. Actually do the last step of vigorously bending for 10 minutes. A friend of mine also bought this product and she decided to skip that step and her son was unable to use his glove as easy as mine.

Easy to use but not sure if it really helped. The one and only way you are going to break in a glove is by using it. The heat and oil did help get it loose enough to be able to shape it to the ball, while being stored in my daughters bat bag, but once the glove cools down it is still just as hard to grip. if you're looking for something to maybe get a jump start on shaping, this product is so-so. If you're looking for a quick fix to break-in your glove, don't waste your time.One positive thing about it, my daughters glove is white and the cream does an excellent job of cleaning it after use.

I was skeptical because the last glove I bought was in middle school. I'm now in my 30's and my catcher's mitt from a time far, far away has started to really deteriorate--especially because I still play in a men's hardball, woodcut league with about 30 games (including playoffs) a year. It was time to bite the leather and get a new glove.Al the new gloves are rock hard. Like they want you to never buy a new glove or they are forcing you to use the store's steam machine or named leather softener. I tried that store brand softener, and it just didn't work. I search for ideas and came across this.WOW--the first treatment worked great. LOOK AT THE PHOTOGRAPHS. The mitt was rock hard and after spraying then putting into the oven for 4 minutes, then working for 5-10 minutes by flexing, look how soft and far the one edge could bend down! It barely moved when I get it. Now it can almost fold on itself!I did one more treatment, then put a baseball in it and wrapped it in the band they gave... and ratchets. Let it sit for a week and undid it, and was really great already! The ball would almost force the glove closed when I would catch it, which is exactly what a catcher wants. I played a hard game of catch and no balls came out. It is probably safe for a game.But the ball would still move a little in the glove. I want it to hit and suction to the pocket like my old glove. So I did two more heat treatments last night and it was even softer. I used the conditioning conditioner on it, which seems like some type of finishing cream, and then put a ball in and rewrapped it. Hopefully the pocket is super soft and the ball just stays puts. This is important for me because pop-time for a catcher is incredibly important, and if I have to spent even a tenth of a second looking for the ball, it could mean the difference between out and safe at second or third.Overall, this worked GREAT and I would strongly recommend it.
