Break In - New 1st/Catcher

Break-In Service for 1st base or Catcher

Our break-in service is designed to quickly prepare your glove for optimal performance!

Using safe techniques, we tailor a personalized break-in that aligns with your style and preferences.

The more information you provide about your preferred fit and feel, the more personalized we can make the process.

Here’s a brief overview of our process:

- Pre-Conditioning: We begin by conditioning your glove with premium products, ensuring it becomes soft, supple, and ready for the break-in process.

-Glove Forming Treatment: Our glove technician applies even force to gently press the hinge points of your glove, allowing them to naturally loosen. This process results in a fast and safe break-in that doesn’t require heat or hazardous chemicals.

-Shaping by Expert Craftsmen: Our skilled technicians use a combination of hands-on techniques, leather safe mallets and weighted balls to shape your glove to perfection. This step ensures that the glove molds comfortably to your hand and playing preferences.

-Japanese Water Method (when safe): If it’s safe to do so, we’ll wet the glove before the process. Some lace colors, particularly red, may bleed when wet, so we avoid those. However, for most other colors that don’t bleed, the results are incredible. This method allows for unmatched forming and shaping possibilities to achieve the desired close and feel.

Break-In Guarantee:

While there’s no definitive definition of a “broken-in” glove, as they continue to mold with use, we guarantee that your glove will be soft enough to catch a ball easily, have the proper shape and break points, and be ready for your glove game in a few hours or days, rather than months of self-break-in work.
