GLOVE CARE

Now that you own a professional level baseball or softball glove, special care must be taken to insure you receive maximum performance and durability. The following instructions are designed to help you attain this from your new glove.

Apply glove oil lightly with a clean dry cloth to the pocket, break (where the glove folds), and web areas of the glove.

Allow the oil to absorb into the leather for 24 hours.

Play catch daily until the glove is ready for game play, 75-100 catches per day for one to two weeks.

Both baseball and softball gloves should be lightly oiled after each season prior to storage. Apply oil with a cloth to both the outside and inside of the glove, to prevent the leather from becoming dry and brittle.

Store the glove in a clean dry place with a baseball or softball in the pocket to help maintain its shape.

CAUTION: DO NOT over oil your glove. Too much oil can cause the leather to become too soft, flexible, and heavy. Do not use any product that requires you putting your new glove in a microwave or oven. These products break down the leather fibers of the glove and diminish its useful life.

Whether or not you buy a custom made glove or a stock glove, caring for your new baseball or softball mitt is extremely important. We recommend that each of our customers pay close attention to these instructions to insure a long life for the glove of their choosing.
