Could everyone give me some good tips on breaking in a new glove? I have a fairly new (three weeks old) Nokona glove, and I have tried multiple things, putting oil on it, putting 2 balls in it and putting it under my mattress overnight while I sleep on it. Suggestions please?

The best way is to play catch. Then it breaks in the way you like it. Nothing worse than a wrongly broken in glove

This makes me wanna cry. Don't put it under your mattress. Just play catch with it. That is the best way to get a glove the exact way you want it.

never use oil it wears down the padding...catch and throw

Put a softball in it and put a rubber band around it so it stays shut, or just toss a lot.

Hot Glove Heat Treatment actually works. I saw it from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBSTzebss6M And if you mess up, they will refund you to buy a new glove. 

But if you aren't comfortable with that, watch the video of Aso, the head glove director of Wilson, break in Brandon Phillips' glove.

Nokonas are notorious for taking a long time to break in. Ive had two and each took between 4-6 months for me to get them to point that I liked them. I never use oil when I first get a glove but during and right after the season I use the Nokona glove cream and that works wonders for your glove.

2 in the pinky!

Dont put any oil on it, your glove will last longer if you just play catch a lot. Super glue a old baseball to the end of a thick stick and just beat the shit out of your glove. Also, put a bigger ball in there like a softball, and wrap it closed. Do that everynight till it breaks in.
