Glove Laces

[sru]

So how does everyone keep their darn glove laces tied??

My dd has two gloves, an Easton fielding glove and a Mizuno Prime catchers mitt. The Eason has two full seasons of use and the Mizuno one full season. The laces around the pocket always come untied. I have to check after every game, ussually the laces at least need to be tightened. I tie them as tight as I can get them, and they always work loose.

Any thoughts?

Laces should be tightened at least once per month. they stretch and break. A good time to tighten laces are just after a tournament, that way if you find one broken there is time to get it fixed before she needs to play again

Are you tying square knots or granny knots? A square knot will usually stay put and not come apart.

(And if you don't know the difference, there's a good chance you're tying the wrong kind!)

Learned that one in Girl Scouts. right over left, over and up, left over right, over and up. My DD just rolled her eyes when I tried teaching the square knot to her the same way.

another trick is too wet the knot down. untie it put a little water on the laces then tie when the laces dry they will cinch tighter.
