Don’t use a sauna. I don’t use any heat on my gloves. Just the pitching machine and mallet. Might take a little tiny bit longer but also better for the life of the leather
@CAS The sauna originated in Finland over 2000 years ago. In Finnish they pronounce it sauna with the au sounding like wow or foul or cow. It makes the "ow" sound like if you got hit you say "ow"
As a kid I just slept on it under my mattress with a ball in the pocket. 3 nights later with a bit of catch between nights under the mattress and it was game ready
@@thegreatnesto7140 think it was just the weight of the mattress and us sleeping on it that softened up the leather and helped shape the glove over time. Recently did it with my new glove, my wife thought I was crazy but it was game ready after a few nights and some couch catch
My king back during your pro days. How long would it take you to start using a new catchers glove in games? I always just caught bullpens all day at camp and by scrimmages I found it to be ready.
I used a treatment called Hot Glove oil. You treat your glove with it then heat it up in the oven works great. Never had any problems. Moisture is bad for gloves. They start to smell and get extremely hard. The leather hates water
Ive been misting/steaming gloves with water for 30 years never a problem.. Soaking them in water not letting them get good air movement is when you get mildew and stink
Having so many gloves you get creative and better as the years go lol. I definitely use the mattress, left it under my moms car tire ( bad idea ) lol. You learn
Pretty good job sir. Not flexing but I used the Ball Glove King’s method with a dunk in a bucket of water first, mallet work with the glove wrapped loosely in a towel focusing on the hinges and for two in the pinky break in, dry for two days, mallet some more then condition… worked perfectly for my current Rawlings HoH gamer and my son’s A-2000. ✌🏼 🤙🏽 ⚾️
Mink oil, a softball, and elastic bands. Than play catch. Its way more cost effective than buying a sauna or pitching machine..... cause everyones got those sitting around
i used to cover my glove in vaseline bake it at 165 for a couple minutes then put a baseball inside of it and tie the glove together with some kitchen twine and put it under my matress for a day or 2.
I mist mine tie it up in a trash bag throw it up on the dash of a car in direct sunlight.. Hr or 2 later losse and toasty.. start beating it with a mallet and couple hrs of catching "gas" its money..
Pitching machines is legit the best way to do it after beating the hell out of it. So easy to do 100 hundred catches with the machine in under 5 mins or so.
Damn how have I not thought of using my sauna and pitching machine to break in my glove? 😂😂
LMAO FR
😂😂😂💯

@@Becketts9888I like the @ballgloveking method. Dunk in a bucket of water first… check him out.
@@Becketts9888it’s sarcasm because he doesn’t have either
As a kid I used a microwave...huge mistake
Are you joking?
Same but I used my catchers glove and it worked fine for me
Did that shit burst into flames. Or?
Its not a bad idea, it softens the leather so you can form it to your hand. Did you like put the glove in there for like a whole day or sum?
@@gavinwatson9677 he’s an adult now and it’s still in there cookin
I can’t afford that technique, 😂
Someone actually pronounced sauna correctly?!
Wrong

Playing some catch is truly all you need

I always jus sat on it and did diving elbow drops on it when I was board
25$ day at your local batting joint and use the pitching machine to break in your gloves and get some BP in
i used to cover my glove in vaseline bake it at 165 for a couple minutes then put a baseball inside of it and tie the glove together with some kitchen twine and put it under my matress for a day or 2.
I always liked my glove super floppy. Like a couple tortillas in my hand .
Why is bro always walking like that at the start of every video
I mist mine tie it up in a trash bag throw it up on the dash of a car in direct sunlight.. Hr or 2 later losse and toasty.. start beating it with a mallet and couple hrs of catching "gas" its money..
Hey Man, not everyone has access to a high speed pitching machine or human flamethrower. lol
You need to get a glove from the only USA manufacturer left in America…Nakona.
Man I thought you were going to say you look at my brand new one two buckle my shoe three four buckle some more 5 6 Nike kicks on fire
What speed do you set the pitching machine for? Have to know after i take it out of my personal fucking sauna
Throw that shit in the microwave for 30 seconds and stick it under somethinh heavy with a ball in the pocket
Sim! break in the hinges!
it has a clear hinge? lol
@@normified every glove has hinges he didn’t focus on them at all which could lead to bubbles
me personally I would not be wearing the glove to catch the ball from the pitching machine
I hope you found a vetter way to breakbin your glove... thats to kuch work 😂
Bro sounded too close to Bullpen Training
give me that baby juco ⚾️😌
I really want my kids to watch you....but the language is awful
SSK or 44?
When you’re doing the machine if you miss aren’t you going to f$&$ up your hand
My dad just wrapped ours in rubber bands and ran them over a few times, seemed to of done the trick
i was raised to condition a new glove and put it under the leg of dads side of the couch for 48 hrs
Damn I used to just put my glove under the couch leg over night
Put a ball in there and then run it over with a car and let it sit under the tire for a couple days
How do you get a custom made ssk glove
So everyone just go to your personal sauna 😂😂😂
Oh damn my hand hurts like crazy hahaha 🤣 hahahahahahahahahahah
Now if he can just learn how to hit a baseball.
The dudes at Dicks have a steamer though.
It was hard for me to break in my a2000
I remember putting my new gloves inside the car on hot days
Oww
I love you, you inspired me to hit bombs and throw gas. every time I watch you I feel motivated to play baseball
As a kid I just throw it at the dug out wall
We used to bake our gloves in the oven
GLOVE WRAP one time.
Pitching machines is legit the best way to do it after beating the hell out of it. So easy to do 100 hundred catches with the machine in under 5 mins or so.
i just smack the ball on the glove while its on the floor. no poussy shet sauna and conditionner and shampoo and manicure
Saddle soap, catch, under pillow with ball in mitt wrapped with rubber bands....the classics are the best 😁
Well damn Eric! Now you’re telling me I have to buy a sauna just to use your glove. LMAO!
Just get you some Glu Glove Wrap from Shark Tank Gavin!!
Get a dda glove there amazing
I put my glove with a ball in the pocket under my mattress for a week…
Can you hit a ball with the glove bat........or for safety a slightly longer glove bat?
I have an SSK from 1990
Give me the old days of a bucket of water and days of oiling.
I miss being a kid
Now I see why he’s a hitter…
I used to put my gloves under a seat cushion, preferably a couch. And I would condition the leather with saddle soap. Worked like a charm...
Saddle soap is a cleaner tho
Whatever happened to a rubber band and putting that shit under something heavy?
Nice I love ssk gloves
Ok so I gotta buy a pitching machine for this new glove . Got it thanks
Just get glovewrap
Just use glove wrap
Just play catch while trying to touch your thumb to your pinky
Woo hoo can I be in a video
I used to have my mom or dad place my glove under their tire and leave it there overnight
Why was I expecting him to have a strong accent ?lol
I ❤ SSK gloves 🥰😘😍
This is not how they do it in Japan/ watch Baueroutage😂
Glove is drippy

My mom once ran her glove over with her car to break it in 💀
I don’t even want to know how much that glove costs.😡
Love SSK goves!
