Glove Conditioned

Many times players will play with the break.  They’ll tie it some way, some how.  If the break doesn’t get any bigger, they’ll use the glove for the rest of the season until there’s time to do something about it in the off-season.  For many baseball gloves, that ends up being the fix…they just stay that way.

Many players have older baseball gloves that they’ll rehire to make it through the season.  Some of these gloves are broken too, but just not as bad.  And sometimes these gloves are used into the next season or until they become too bad to play with also. 

Others will reluctantly go out and buy a brand new, expensive and stiff baseball glove. If they only knew that baseball glove restringing is really not that hard at all these players could learn how to repair their own gloves quickly and at low cost.

Why, if your baseball glove breaks, should you consider any of the above solutions?  Why not just do a little baseball glove repair yourself!  It’s not really that hard, can be a pretty quick process, especially with the newer gloves, and you don’t have to give up that trusty, broken-in glove that you’ve depended on every game.  Order “Fix That Glove” now so that you can repair your own baseball glove and in the process learn how to quickly repair a break if one happens during a game.  Don’t settle for another baseball glove if you don’t want to and don’t be dependent on someone else to fix your glove.  Do it yourself!

"It's a pretty sure thing that the player's bat is what speaks loudest when it's contract time, but there are moments when the glove has the last word."

Baseball Glove Repair - Why Do It Yourself? 

• Getting a new baseball glove can be expensive.  This is probably one of the two biggest reasons to repair your glove.  Relacing, cleaning and conditioning is cheap compared to buying a new glove and it is not that hard to fix and clean up your glove.

• Breaking in a new baseball glove can take some time and you may not have that time right in the middle of the season.  New, expensive gloves with the "real" leather can take a whole off-season to break in.

• Your baseball glove is custom-fit for your hand, you play well with it and you just don't want to give it up for a new, stiff glove that you'll have to break in.

Why People Don't Repair Their Own Baseball Gloves?

• They are basically afraid to try a little bit of baseball glove repair.

• They think they’ll forget where laces go and where they came from.  Then, they think that they'll end up relacing the glove wrong and ruin it.

• They think that it will just take too long and they don’t have the time.

• They don’t know where or how to really start relacing a glove.

• They don’t know what tools to use for repairing baseball gloves or where to get them.

• They don’t know how to condition and restore a glove that seems like it’s worn out and ready to be thrown away.
