3rd base glove

I used a 10 LB dumbbell on my daughter's catcher's mitt, and it's still barely game ready six months later.

Beautiful glove, fantastic pattern! Let’s see a pic with a 12” ball in the pocket.

Break it in yourself, break it in dry, no chemicals or conditioner, yet. Lots (LOTS) of catch! Think you told me she uses her glove TIP, get a 5lb. dumbbell and pound / set the pinky and thumb hinge break points at the heel.

And have her really focus on squeezing the glove tight around the ball with each catch.

Nice pics! Looks like a good size 11.75” glove, looks to be no problem with a 12” ball, especially TIP.

11.75” seems like Rawlings odd size, I’ve seen many that are bigger than their 12” gloves.

11.75” NP5 on the left, 12” Pro206 on the right.
