Game-Ready Gloves, Without the Wait
Professional Break-In Service for the Perfect Fit
Skip the frustration of a long break-in period — our expert glove technicians use proven methods to soften, shape, and condition your glove so it’s ready for action the moment it hits your hand.
At The Clubhouse, we believe a great game starts with a glove that feels like an extension of your hand. That’s why we’ve dedicated ourselves to perfecting the art of glove break-in. Using mechanical techniques and professional-grade equipment, we soften, shape, and condition each glove for optimal comfort, control, and performance. Whether you’re stepping onto the field for the first time or gearing up for your next big season, our mission is simple — give every player a glove that’s game-ready from day one.
What is a Glove Break-In Service?
A glove break-in service is the process of softening, shaping, and conditioning a brand-new baseball or softball glove so it’s comfortable, flexible, and ready to perform on the field. New gloves are often stiff and rigid, making it hard to close the pocket, catch cleanly, or react quickly. Our professional break-in process speeds up what would normally take weeks — sometimes months — of play, giving you a glove that feels “just right” from the very first pitch.
Benefits of Professional Glove Break-In:
No more fighting a stiff glove during the season.
We shape your glove to create a deep, reliable pocket for cleaner catches.
Tailored shaping based on your position and play style.
Skip the long, frustrating break-in period and get straight to playing.

Our standard turnaround time is typically 1–2 weeks from the day we receive your glove. We’ll keep you updated throughout the process and notify you when it ships back.
Yes! Infielders, outfielders, and catchers all need different pocket depths and glove shapes. We tailor the break-in process based on your position and preferences.
Not at all — in fact, proper break-in with conditioning actually helps extend the life of your glove by keeping the leather soft and preventing cracking.

My son is a catcher, and his glove needed a deep pocket fast. The Clubhouse shaped it perfectly, and he was catching everything with ease the very next game. Worth every penny!
