Softball Glove Care Helpful Hints:

  • Remember glove leather is like your own skin on your face so don't treat leather any differently than your own skin.
  • Never soak your glove in water.
  • Never put your glove in the microwave or oven.
  • Never over oil your glove thinking more is better.
  • Never keep your glove in plastic bags over 12 months.
  • Treat your glove well, don't throw your glove around the field.
  • Keep your glove dry, wipe off built up dirt with dry cloth.
  • Keep something in your glove pocket, a softball, or whatever works for you.
  • Put conditioner all over glove pocket and back of fingers and let it sit for 24 hours. Then wipe off with dry cloth.
  • Use specialise Glove Oil - Just Softball sells this. Remember you want to keep pores of the leather open. Some oils will close the pores and makes the leather dry, harden and become heavy.
  • The number one thing is to play catch and form your pocket the way you like it.
  • Remember leather is skin and should be treated as you would your own.
  • At the end of the season make sure your glove is clean of all dirt, place ball inside of pocket and store in a dry location.
