I’m not real sure why conditioning a brand new, pre-oiled glove is necessary, let alone “right”.

My son has a GG Elite and the LAST thing it needs is any kind of conditioning. Rawlings designed that glove to need nothing but catch.

Exactly, these gloves are heavily oil infused for a reason, it needs nothing, especially a Serta or Sleep Number sitting on top of it!
I could get one of these gloves usable and game playable ready in between games at a tournament!

If you want to buy a new glove every couple of years guys you go right ahead and spend your money.
Everything new has a break-in period.
Take a little time do it right and be sure and hit those laces with conditioner as well.
Most people on here laugh at claims manufactures make but we’re gonna believe every part of this glove has been gone over and conditioned meticulously? Really? You wear your glove when line drives come flying at you and I’ll wear mine. My bet is mine will hold-up well, yours, well you just go ahead and let your DD take her chances.

MadBandit, come on man, listen to yourself??

**First sentence - It's a GG Elite, you'll need to buy one EVERY year, if your DD plays as much as mine, 2 a year!
**Second sentence - IT'S A GG ELITE!
**Third sentence - I see a theme going here...........
**Fourth sentence - It's a GG Elite, meticulous is not a word I'd use to describe the making of this glove, and I can promise you my DD's glove is safer then any glove you own!

I am going to be honest with you..I played college baseball for a bit with a 4 year old beat up pancake glove and never once thought about safety..I am just glad DFP wasn't around then or I would have been running around catching every line drive to my forehand or backhand side..lol.

She’ll just throw and catch to break-in typically since shes older, but honestly I will just hand it to her and she will break it in...she’s 17. I’m just finances at this point.

One of my DD's had that Rawlings GG Elite and it broke in just fine playing catch and getting wrapped with a ball in it when not in use. Did a light oil on it a couple times and it appeared to be a great purchase that was going to last a while for her as a secondary position glove (primary is Catcher). We paid like $70 bucks at Dicks after some coupons. Then we got a puppy and that hunk of smelly leather on a shelf didn't stand a chance...

Get the glove, save some cash for now (you'll need it).

Facebook called. They are wondering if anyone has found their missing buffoon.

They need him to head up their “Baseball Advise From 1951” page.

Heard my Dad use the word buffoon one time in my life, just once! It was in the mid-eighties, he said Joe Biden was America's buffoon, I still remember him saying that like it was yesterday. Not really a word an old school, Reagan loving guy from NC uses!

Lol! I have a buddy whose dad is a source of fantastic quotes and sayings. My dad is the same way so we trade them when we hear them and I usually write them down.

Anyway, my buddy must be mid 30’s but throws that word out every so often and it’s always perfect. It always makes me laugh!
