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

We purchased this system to break in a new glove for my son. He struggles with hand strength and with a new larger glove this was the ticket. We did two 'bakes' in the oven with the oil and he noticed immediately how much easier it was to close and open. The strap is pretty basic but worked fine. The 'Balm' is great for any leather products. It is a simple system and really improves the feel of the glove and its a great value for the money!

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.

It was very simple and did the job of keeping the glove in shape . For the price I paid , It did the job.I should not complàin. I bought another one "hot glove " it was better made ,quality much better , held the glove much better. Again, the original did the.job for a younger player starting out, rookie or in minor league fine. A high school or more serious the hot glove is my choice.

Nothing short of AMAZING!! It works!! Follow the simple instructions and your glove will be soft and broken in!!!

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.

To me Spray on was not as good as the foam for adsorption. I prefer the foam.

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!

If you need to break in a glove ASAP definitely get this stuff. Really, just get it to break in a glove period. Does a fantastic job and directions are easy to follow. The conditioner does a great job at maintaining the leather, especially over the winter. I also found that if you live in a hot climate or you need to break a glove in during the summer you can use this product and throw your glove i the trunk of your hot car all day. I have used the foam product before and noticed no difference between the foam and the spray and it lasted for quite a while. I was able to break in several gloves for kids I am coaching.

Producto funciona como lo anuncia

This stuff works GREAT! After just the first application, the glove was very broken in and easy to maneuver. Used two applications to ensure a perfect, soft feel.

Una de las mejores opciones en el mercado para acondicionar un guante nuevo y/o usado. Producto de alta calidad .

Works great if you follow instructions

works great, did 2 applications and the glove feels awsome
