Wear Descriptions -How you wear the glove directly relates to how it should close. Typically, an “All-In” or “All in – One Out” break-in will result in a more thumb to ring or middle finger break in. A Finger shift wear will result in the “Thumb to Pinky / Thumb to ring finger” break-in.

• All In
  • Also known as Traditional. 1 Finger in each hole.
• All In – One Out
  • 1 Finger in each hole, index finger out
• Finger Shift / 2 In The Pink
  • Pinky and Ring finger are in the “Pinky” Slot, Middle Finger in Ring Finger Slot, Index Finger in Middle Finger slot.

Break In Descriptions – Please be aware. The more we break in the glove for you, the less longevity your glove will have. If you need it for games ASAP, then go game-ready! Otherwise, look at our “Play Catch” & “Get It Started” options

• Get It Started
  • We will get the break-in lines started on the glove of “Where” to break in. Follow the lines on the glove for a perfect break-in in depending on how you wear the glove. Allowed for more personal break-in and forming to your hand over time. The best option for glove longevity.
• Play Catch
  • We will get the glove to a point where you can play catch. It will still require a little more work before it is “game ready”. Might have a few stiff spots & pop outs. A good balance of glove longevity without too much work required to be game ready.
• Game Ready
  • Lose your glove? Break your glove? Just looking for an upgrade mid-season? No worries. Order your glove “Game Ready” and use it the same day. This glove will still have structure & will remain open if left on the side
• Floppy
  • If you are used to using a pancake and you like it, then this may be the option for you. It will heavily affect the longevity of the glove as we have to crush out the structure. Not recommended, but offered for the few athletes who like their glove to close itself.

Options Descriptions

• Standard
  • No Flares, No Curls, Just how you wear it & how much you want it broken in. Nothing extra. (Good for athletes that will want to “Form” the fingers, thumb and pinky how they want!)
• Pinky Flare
  • Curls the pinky finger of the glove outwards. This increases surface area while fielding or catching and may assist funnelling the ball into the glove instead of clanking off the fingertip. (Also widens the receiving area of the glove, allowing for more forgiveness on comebackers and tough plays.)
• Thumb Flare
  • Curls the thumb of the glove outwards. This increases surface area while fielding or catching and may assist funnelling the ball into the glove instead of clanking off the fingertip. (Also widens the receiving area of the glove, allowing for more forgiveness on comebackers and tough plays.)
• Thumb & Pinky Flare
  • Both sides of the fingertips flare outwards. This increases surface area while fielding or catching and may assist funnelling the ball into the glove instead of clanking off the fingertip. (Also widens the receiving area of the glove, allowing for more forgiveness on comebackers and tough plays.)
• Finger Curl
  • Take the fingers and pocket of the glove and slightly curl them inwards towards the palm. Helps to deepen the pocket of gloves, BUT removes “length”. Creates more of a “wide & deep” feel to the glove.
