    These days, there is a product you can get at your local sports store which you rub into your glove and cook. Literally, you put your glove in the oven. Gloves are pliable within an hour or two. You still have to play catch and work it but it is playable in hours.

    1. With the new materials that gloves are made with, you should contact the manufacurer before putting your glove in an oven.

    You can close the glove and put something heavy on it over night to break it in.
