Selected User Reviews For Hot Glove Mallet for Glove Break-in and Shaping
The glove treatment and all the other products I've purchased from Hot Glove have been functional and affordable. A unique feature of this mallet is that it has a ball end, which allows you to not only create a pocket, but also smooth out random bubbles and wrinkles in Despite the fact that it does not have a knob, the stick grips securely, even though the end is tapered to fit the finger stalls. An extra inch would help it fit into the pocket higher up, but you can always flip the gloves upside down and pound upwards into the web to lengthen it. Although I was concerned about how lightweight this mallet would be, I have found that it is faster to swing and less tiring than other Last but not least, I feared the 2-way street This product is somewhat distinctive in its construction, but it has not let me down and I think it will allow it to be more affordable than a standard 1-piece model There is one. In case you intend to break in a glove quickly and don't want to use a weighted softball, then this is an excellent purchase.
For bringing new gloves up to speed, this is a must. This is a handy tool, and I wish I had had one as a kid. Just lube your glove, then give it 40 or 50 good whacks with the mallet to make sure that your pocket is perfectly flat. The time it takes for a new glove to break in will drastically be reduced with the help of this product. Playing catch for hours is not necessary. You can do it anywhere and it only takes a few minutes.
I have seen my teenager beat his powerful and super stiff Wilson A2000 mitt into submission using this for weeks. This is making a huge difference! A lot faster than he expected, this mitt is breaking in quickly for him. Durability has never been an issue for us. It seems very sturdy and can withstand a lot of abuse. A bit of the black dye from the mitt transferred to the ball of the mallet, but it just scrapes right off. Families with baseball fans will love this book!.
Tool to break in gloves that is highly effective and indispensable. Leather is easier to damage by a slick ball than a hard ball I made a ball Download the stick version. The thing has been pummeled almost too hard on many gloves. I have not noticed any loosening of the ball end. Having a nice smooth finish allows you to wipe dye streaks off before you work with lighter colored gloves (hint wash them before you apply dye). Clean it with Murphy's oil soap to make it look as good as new. Could have used an inch or two of extra handle length.
I haven't encountered any problems, but to be safe assure the ball will not fly out, I may drill and glue a hole for a dowel to hold it in place. As far as gloves go, I have no idea what that means, and I didn't realize that a glove must be broken in. This mallet seems to be just what I need to break in my mid-sized Rawlings gloves are of the highest quality. The glove could still use more hammering, but it is already looking better after a little bit of.
Several years ago, I bought a new baseball glove for replacement of the one I had in high school when my kids were younger. I have trouble getting it to break in properly, especially for the middle and ring The doweling I had cut down proved difficult to remove, so I tried stretching out the leather with some of the sections I had cut earlier. To stretch a finger out with this thing, I simply wrap my fingers around the ball portion of it and twist it into place. I am able to fit my hand better into this glove after just one week of wearing it than I have after trying to break it in for over four years. The price was well worth it.
The reason I chose this mallet is that it looked about the same as expensive mallets and was relatively cheap. I used it to completely thrash my son's glove into submission and it worked like a charm. I'm saving a few bucks with this mallet, and the glove is breaking in nicely.
You should take into consideration the fact that this is a cheap tool. The short-handed design works great for the pocket, but not as well for getting the glove accustomed to the rest of its features. So far, I've broken in two pairs of gloves, and so far, the gloves have not broken. You should, however, consider it one of only a few tools that you utilize. If you don't want one in the shape of a bat, get one of those.
