Product Details

The B.G.K. Break-In is royal treatment for your next gamer. I always start by massaging the glove with my hands to both learn the glove and loosen it. I dip all leather gloves in room temperature water (contrary to popular belief, this isn't bad for the leather) and then begin the mallet work. Once the glove is dry I do a final round of mallet work and apply leather conditioner as we prepare it for a smooth ride home. I take immense pride in the break in process and shaping of your glove and I encourage you to share the results. I aim to prepare you for practice with your glove so that you can finish the final step to a royal break in. Mold the leather to your hand and your specific needs then get out there and play ball!

Sent in a brand new custom Rawlings heart of the hide catchers mitt and it came back PERFECT

Sent in a brand new custom Rawlings heart of the hide catchers mitt and it came back PERFECT. Like…better than I ever imagined. These boys know what they’re doing and you can trust them with your most valuable and prized gloves. Don’t even hesitate to send them a glove for break in. This is our second time using the service and it has been A+.

Sent off a Rawlings HoH catchers mitt for my 11 - almost 12 year old

Sent off a Rawlings HoH catchers mitt for my 11 - almost 12 year old. It came back in perfect, game ready condition. I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. Timing was quick, pricing was reasonable, and by far the best glove break in service I have used.

This was the best break-in service we have ever used

This was the best break-in service we have ever used. The attention to detail to break the glove in as requested was spot on. My son Henry was so excited when his glove arrived and played catch all weekend right after it arrived.

Simply Amazing

Simply Amazing. Went straight to the pitching machine and started at 50 and worked up to 70 to finish the break-in. I love both the gloves you guys broke in for me. I can’t thank you enough. I’ll be sending my sons new youth glove for next season soon. You guys are awesome!!!! Thank you

Able to catch right out of the box

Went from not being able to close the glove at all to catching on the machine as soon as my son opened the box! Couldn’t be more excited about how great of a break in and it won’t be long before he is gaming with his new catchers mitt

Awesome job. 100% game ready.

I wasn't 100% sure what to expect when we sent my son's custom 44 pro 1B mitt off....but when it arrived back to us we couldn't have been any more pleased. My son was thrilled. He was able to control the mitt right away out of the box. We played catch a couple days leading up to our next game and he's been gaming ever since. He loves the way it feels, and I'm thrilled with how well everything came out. Thanks BGK!

Truly the King!

Even though break in process is a labor of love, will never break in a glove myself ever again. BGK had my son’s new 1st base glove back like it had been broken in by 5 years worth of playing!

Rawlings Catchers Mitt

Was very happy with the finished product. We tried to break in the new mitt but it would've taken us weeks to do what they did in days. Would absolutely recommend. FYI -they only accept shipments via USPS.

Best in the business

BGK is legit! My 11 yo son received a 44 Pro catcher’s mitt for Christmas and really wants to start using it. The glove couldn’t be closed. We shipped it from CA to IL and received it back within 3 weeks. We’ve gone through a couple throwing sessions and it should be game ready for opening day. Thank you BGK - we’ll be returning customers and will refer other to you!

A2000 to perfection

Box break-in for Wilson A2000 M23 done to perfection. Son cannot believe how great it is compared to his old glove that we did ourselves - which was good, but not this good.

BGK was fantastic with communication after a slight shipping mistake on my part. It all worked out and glove was back just over 2 weeks later. Definitely worth the price for a high end glove to be done right.

Grandson was very please with how his catcher's glove was broken in

Grandson was very please with how his catcher's glove was broken in and how he was able to start practicing with it immediately.

Thank You

Great service, love the glove.

Glove break in is great. Nice double hinge pocket and no discoloration. Only reason not 5 stars is it would have been nice to have more communication in the process. A 4 week (from door to door) turn around time isn’t unreasonable but notifications of where it is in the process beyond receiving and shipping would be beneficial.

Awesome job! Quick turnaround. Will definitely use going forward. In fact, I have another catchers mitt that my son has struggled to properly break in and plan to send it in right away.
Yes, I admittedly opened the box from the bottom LOL.

My sons catchers glove came back far better than we ever imagined

My sons catchers glove came back far better than we ever imagined. It was a new 44 catchers glove and stiff as can be. Its so soft and easy to squeeze now its amazing. I did not think the glove would ever be game-ready but it came back and was ready on day 1 for games. Incredible! Thanks so much!
