Nothing to worry about. Give me a few hours

Like I said, at this point if it’s working fine and you’re happy with the results, use it and don’t worry about it.

Or, you could try using it two-in-the-pinky, that’s how I’d wear it playing outfield anyway. That’ll force it to close more thumb to pinky and square up that heel, and change that closing crease that 625 pointed out.

Nice glove!

I wouldn't worry about that crease as long you have a nice "thumb to pinky hinge" goin on. I have an oiled first base mitt that has a similar little crease (also 2 in pinky). I think it's from being on the larger side of gloves and also maybe from the oil allowing the leather to crease more easily there as the glove closes. In a stiffer(less oiled) glove the leather would just bend but with oil it creases. Eventually it will lay down.

And dont worry if you put a little too much oil on it either. It'll be just fine. It's your glove enjoy it!

Nah, got to disagree with this one, that glove looks like it won’t need anything for two years! And you are right, it’s her glove, she can do what she likes, just don’t use any “oil”.

Nokona gloves are notorious for turning into heavy floppy messes!

I meant dont worry if she may have over oiled it already!

Definitely dont add more oil.

She has a nice glove. The only damage that can be done is not using it! Don't worry just play!

do you put your finger on the glove top for that?

Nope, not for outfield, good way to break your index finger on a diving / sliding play. Keep it inside!

I don't need to break another bone lol, and knowing my track record with my left arm ill keep it inside thanks!! (broke arm and wrist on cement both times)
