BREAKING IN GLOVES????

[Lyons Lax]

Hey guys I just got my pair of galdiators today. They're pretty good out of the box but i wanna break em in. How should i go about doing that? :help

[broslax16]

first what i do is put them on and then push your fingers together to bend them a little and do the same with the thumbs and then if u want to leave them overnight just press them together where the fingers are bending backwards and wrap some tape aroudn them to keep them like that

[WarriorLax22]

you can wear them and sit on them when you're watching tv.

[LSM]

you can play lacrosse in them, that always seems to work. and im not kidding, just like cradle and sh**

Maluhia knows whereof he speaks.

[Jester27]

I just bend the hell out of them. Roll em around in your hands and work them, a lot. There's nothing that's gonna break.

[regulate34]

yea i have old gloves and i doent wanna get new ones because these ones are fo soft
but i broke them in by folding them and bending them just move them around

[Garor]

I find sweat helps them break in. Go for a run, and once you get sweaty come back and cradle. Switch hands a few times too. Rip some shots or whatever you need to do.

[NJSLaxxer]

Bending them is a good way to break in the pads on the glove, but what helps the inside palm/fingers break in?

[Wrf1237]

the only way to do it is to play with them constantly, there's no quick fix. Usually takes a week or two until they're good.

if you have a powergrip you can just hold it as tight as you can and spin the shaft with the other hand

[joker45hahaha]

ive heard that taking a hot shower or bath with em breaks em in nicely. i wouldnt kno tho my gloves are veterens

[LCNlaxman]

Joker, that's probably a bad idea.

An easy way to semi-break in your gloves is fold the fingers really tight. Do it for about 15-20 minutes while watching TV or whatever then go play in them for two weeks. Fold the fingers 3 times a week, for 2 weeks, or if you don't want to wait, 3 times a day for 3 days.

Go play with them for about a week or two and bam, perfectly broken in gloves.

[joker45hahaha]

someone took a bath with new gloves on my team i can ask them how they turned out. dunno how it would be bad tho its just like sweating in them alot or playing in rain. all in all just playing in em is proally the best way to break em in. just like you cant get good at lacrosse overnight your gloves arent gonna be perfect overnight either

wear them everywhere they are new so they wont stink and people wont mind, and if you do push ups as a routine you can waer them for that.......
