P.S. neats foot oil once in a while to keep the leather from drying out

I'd use Obenauf's grease way before putting mink oil on it since you spent the money to get a good glove now it's time to spend some more for a, quality product to protect and preserve it and mink oil isn't what you want sorry to say . A large tub of Obenauf's is around $ 16.00 and money well spent it works great on sealing up work boots and won't eat up the stitching or leather .

I take a small 3 or 5 lb dumbell and beat the ever loving heck out of the pocket in the glove. Then (depending on if you want a single crease or a heel/thumb double crease), I pound on the palm and down through the heel rolling it back and forth. Some people like to use hot water while they do this as well, but I don't. Then just playing a lot of catch.

Mink oil, wrap a ball in it, tie it up and let it sit. X3
