What ASO did was mechanically simulate actual game play... The mallet = 50 line drives, the weighted ball = 50 high pop flys, the weight to the outside = 50 rough grounders, rolling the web and heel = flexing open and close the hand, the hot water = a sweaty hand... the idea is to replicate/simulate actual game play in order to speed up the initial break in period... Hope this provides a little perspective in how to go about breaking in a new glove. (the numbers used are purely speculative, but you get the idea) :)
Morgan Freeman its cool when you call someone an expletive, and basically look stupid because you spell the expletive wrong, and use the wrong homonymn two, instead of too. Nice man.
It softens up the glove, and also allows the glove to conform to your hand. I've been breaking in gloves for years. The best way to fully break in a good glove is using it, using it, and using it some more. Play catch with someone every day for about an hour, then do long-tosses and pop up drills.
Both sides of the pocket works well, fold each side and beat the crap out of it. Then pound the shit out of the pocket itself. Like he said in the vid, use warm water to form the glove to your hand and soften the leather. The best way to break in a glove though is to use it, use it, and use it some more. Find a friend to play catch with for a few weeks.
can you post a video or tell me how i should breakin a superskin because i just got a wilson a2000 1788ss superskin 11 1/4 and i heard that you are not suposed to do the samethings to a superskin as you would the all leather. plz help
Hey Wilson, Is it ok to break in a new glove by just playing with it? Also, Dick's Sporting Goods has a steam machine. Is that a good way to break it in too?
If I pay Aso to break in my glove. Give me a rough estimate on the cost, 20-30k? I'll fly in out here and he can crash on my couch, show him Boston haha
I came in thinking id see a normal break in process, but then i saw an asian dude and knew, it would get weird, then i see him grab a fucking dumbell and beat the shit out of the glove...

dude... genius xD
Or you beat it in the areas that the glove is suppose to move, adn the hot water is to soften the leather so its more modable? It's not that deep
Dave Generic no its not lmao
Soooo smart I would of never thought of that
Wow i never knew that putting random words together would make people think you are smart.
I just watched a 4 minute video of an asian beating the hell out of a glove

Lol hahahahahhahahah
video editor FAIL...
Thank you it worked a lot
how do you subtitle text here on your glove?
i want to do it!!!!
This just shows that you can fix things by
pounding them
when u put the water on the glove to form to your hand do u beat it with the malet too.
Do you only use the hot water on the first initial break in?
How do you know where the creases should go when pounding it ?
I like that Wilson A2K
Both sides of the pocket works well, fold each side and beat the crap out of it. Then pound the shit out of the pocket itself.

it just takes a little patience, takes a little time, a little perseverance and a little uphill climb
ITS THE HARD WAY, BUT ITS THE RIGHT WAY THE RIGHT WAAAAY TO BREAK IN A GLOVE
@saige374 when gloves are new theyr usually really stiff so you break it in to soften it up and well idk how to describe it haha

Hey Wilson, Is it ok to break in a new glove by just playing with it? Also, Dick's Sporting Goods has a steam machine. Is that a good way to break it in too?

Alan Plunks I think you can trust Aso
Tyguy2025 it's not that I don't trust aso it's that I don't trust myself. I feel like i would fuck it up.
i just started to play baseball, whats the use of breaking it in
hadi riduan when you buy a new glove it is very stiff and you usually can't close the glove, so you have to break it in if you want to use it
i literrely saw a asian guy beating the shit out of a glove
Lol
He is the one that making the gloves
