(PRWEB) February 11, 2008 -- BallGloveWarehouse.com is now making a professional-grade Glove Care Kit and tutorial available to its customers. Each kit is customized to the type of glove purchased by the customer and was designed to enhance the performance and longevity of the gloves.
The Glove Care Kit includes a four step tutorial pamphlet, an ash mallet for forming a pocket and softening leather, two large shaping bands and a plastic ball to mold the pocket, a nylon drawstring carrying bag, and the specific oil recommended by the manufacturer for the type of glove purchased. The kit was designed by Project Manager Tommy Hottovy, who is also a professional baseball player and has seen first hand the correct and incorrect ways a baseball glove can be broken in.
"We get calls from parents all the time wanting to know how to break-in the new glove they just purchased," Hottovy said. "Many people sacrifice the life of the glove to break it in quickly, but with our simple four step process, you can break-in and form the glove in a short amount of time without harming the leather."
According to BallGloveWarehouse.com, the best way to keep a glove strong and supple is to use glove oil. Because each glove manufacturer uses different leather and treatments on their gloves, it's important to use the oil recommended by the manufacturer - which is also included in the Glove Care Kits.
Another problem Hottovy often sees is a poorly formed pocket. "You have to have a good pocket to secure the ball. It doesn't matter if you can catch a ball if you can't hold on to it. There's a specific stat for this in baseball - errors." BallGloveWarehouse.com's solution is storing the glove with the bands and ball overnight, playing catch, and working the glove over with the mallet.
"Many other break-in products don't provide a mallet, but it's essential in breaking in a glove. You just don't have the ability to customize the pocket to your preferences or position with other methods," Hottovy said.
Breaking in and caring for a glove correctly is the best way to ensure the longevity and quality of the glove. Making sure it forms a good pocket will also help prevent dropped balls. "I've always found that if someone takes the time to break in their glove correctly and form a good pocket, their performance on the field will improve," Hottovy said.
The instructions and tools to correctly break in a baseball or softball glove are currently available at both BallGloveWarehouse.com and Beapro.com. In addition, a video tutorial entitled "How to break in a glove" has been placed on YouTube.com and other video sharing websites.
