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!

Super Mega Floppy FTW!!!

I had been trying for a long time to get my glove the way I wanted, so it could be my everydayer and I just couldn't get it there. Never happy with it. I finally gave up and sent it in to you guys because I want to use the darn thing...lol. The glove came back exactly how I requested and I am 1000% satisfied. I can't believe how soft and floppy you got it. It's now my everydayer and I can't wait to catch some BP balls in Houston! I have another glove I WILL be sending in. I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH, BLESS YOU IN ALL YOU DO!

Glove Experts!

Not only did we use these guys to break in our Pro Preferred Rawlings KB17 glove but we bought it for my son that plays 3rd bae, pitcher and outfield off the BGK recommended glove list. We could not be happier with the result. The glove showed up game ready to our exact preferences and my son loves it. We played catch the day we got it back and went 421 throws back and forth before dropping one. This says a lot about how much care BGK does to break in the glove . When we sent it off he couldn’t even close the glove.

BGK is the best

I spent hours trying to break my glove in myself without much luck. I then sent it to a different break in service and it came back hard as a rock. As a last resort I sent it to BGK and it came back perfect. I'll definitely be sending my gloves to BGK in the future.

A+ job on my nike shado elite full trapeze

Chris and his team absolutely nailed my glove to the specs I wanted. I wasn’t sure what to expect becauseI always did my own break-ins myself with a wooden mallet. My new glove has the best break-in I ever had. I will be using them again in the future for myself or my kids.

Worth the hype!

Sent an A2000 and a Staff in for break-in. Was curious if it'd be worth the time and money compared to a break-in I could do at home; I was not disappointed. Great job on both gloves!

Hands down the best break in I had in my career

Hands down the best break in I had in my career. My son and I watched all your videos and the break in one came up. My son who is 10 said Dad send your glove to him to see. So I did. I sent in my A2K and when I got it back I was blown away. Ball Glove King is the best

Custom Nokona Glove

I am happy with the break-in. I sent a custom made Nokona glove and they did the initial break-in. I still have a little work to do on it but that is expected as the final break-in is to mold it to my daughter’s hand. Would recommend again!

Incredible Service!

This was the fourth glove we’ve sent in for break in… incredible service. The break-ins are absolutely perfect, no matter the position! We’ve sent in infield and first baseman’s gloves. Always impressed and satisfied. The break-ins have been for both child and adult, and both have been perfect! Shipping and packaging are also perfect. Thank you Ball Glove King!

I'm old, cranky and my days of breakin' in a mitt are over!! Ain't doin it!!

Sent in a Rawlings Custom Heart Of Hide glove that I bought. Reviews on the Rawlings custom gloves said they were all stiff as all get out. They were right! Man, that thing was never gonna break-in. It was hard as steel. Ugh. Found BGK by chance on YT and said, "Why not?!" Sent it off. Am I ever glad I did. Took about 3 weeks. Nice! This glove is now MLB game ready! Ok, so I'm only using it as a volunteer little league coach for my son's team, but at least I am ready w a $525 glove! Haa! Haven't had one since I was kid, and it's great to rediscover how much I still love the game. BGK did an outstanding job on it. The rolled fingers and flared thumb feel great. Opens and closes like I've had it for 5 years. I'm so impressed with what he did for it. I don't see how anyone could not be completely thrilled with the service this guy provides. Easily worth the $118 bucks. Next time I'll send in my son's newest glove. Great service and Top quality craftmanship, period. A+++
