Y'all be judging this guy, he's the one that making Wilson gloves

[@MyREDTAIL]

He breaks in a lot of gloves for the MLB Players and they trust him 100%

[@thelampman6582]

man i bought a franklin lol

[@sjang816]

Who on earth is judging him? It's like 'hey musk, what do you really know about cars without gas or going to another planet?

[@gingerknight1973]

Yup! Like what does everyone think the A stands for 😅

[@sjang816]

@Tobias Casey yup, no one cares. I thought these posts were done and obsolete. Why not throw in 30,000,000 USD$ on behalf of the prince of sim salabim

[@COYOTE165A]

He is the Wilson Glove Expert that breaks in the Gloves for the MLB Players that use the Wilson Gloves so he knows what he is doing even though it may look strange to you But it works Period Thanks for sharing etc.

[@peytonmccanna9032]

For everyone doubting it works, I've done this on past gloves and it works beautifully. I'm breaking in a new A2K and I can almost squeeze it all the way already.

[@mustardketchup]

6:57 "Best way to break in glove is to play catch." His words, not mine. I can do that. Peace

[@jerryaelvoet72]

Could have been a 30 Second video

[@autoboyjet]

@@jerryaelvoet72 If you like half the advice...

[@jaywilliams4956]

Sometimes you don’t have the luxury of time and prefer the glove broken in sooner.

[@SRowe_]

So you basically ignored most of his video. Got it.

[@TheMasterGamingPlayer]

Without Aso life would be different.

[@sscalf31]

A guy I know was in upper management at Wilson and he made it possible for me to spend a day with Aso to learn glove lacing and break in. It was great.

[@tristannewsome3596]

Haha, he's so aggressive, I was like NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! But then i thought, well this guy is famous for breaking in gloves so I trust him.

[@austinharrison2626]

Tristan Newsome I mean if you think about it, a high end baseball glove is catching a ball moving at least 70 mph so he's just simulating that sort of assault

[@JaysFan2024]

I always thought the same thing. After sending so much money on a glove the last thing you feel like you wanna do is starting beating on it but honestly, it works really well and it’s totally fine to do.

[@braidenpaul1581]

Tristan Newsome me to

[@jonevanmartina2260]

Bro I also he is bending the A2000 i feel sorry for the glove

[@pickzye514]

He literally makes the glove

[@ramrod250]

He is brilliant. Forget all of the other videos; take his word for how to do this.

[@kotro88]

At 6:56...The absolute expert in gloves says, "Playing catch is the best way to break in a glove. This is the short cut way...." So, if you're worried about jacking up your glove by beating it up, just listen to Aso and go play catch.

[@RJ-qk7to]

Awesome advice from the Master Craftsman, Aso!

[@togamac]

You inspired me Aso. I used your method on one of my granddaughter's new gloves but, on her second one when I had misplaced the mallet, I did this and it worked to perfection! First, I gave the glove a generous coat of Neats Foot oil, my old-old favorite. Then I placed the glove on the floor on a piece of cardboard so as not to get oil on the floor. Then I removed my shoes and using my 200 lbs of body weight and my heels, gave that glove a complete "loosening up" workout, inside and outside, for about 5 minutes. Voila! A loose glove! The extra weight added to the glove by the amount of oil is negligible!

[@Daniel-nx8ok]

This guy is the best, he knows what he is doing

[@briancrawford69]

This guy is a legend in the baseball glove world. I think he knows what he's talking about

[@rayrayducey964]

0:06 you said it not me

[@fdfc78]

Bruh... I watched this at least 12 times and I'm in tears. "Ma Aso" is what he should put on a shirt. Thank you for the laugh!!

[@uboii]

I heard “ima aso” and “in ma aso” 😂😂

[@MichaelPerez-he3sf]

🤣

[@isaacwhitaker8531]

This works I got a red, white and blue A2k yesterday. I was skeptical about the water, but nothing bad happened. Just follow what he says to do and your glove will be good.

[@billybot01]

Aso you are a legend my friend! Thanks for the video and details.

[@treydrier3169]

I've used this method on 3 new gloves AND IT WORKS! In addition to the hot water I will use Lexol Leather Conditioner on days 2 and 3 but repeating Aso's glove beating method each time I apply Lexol. Lexol is not a thick paste like other glove conditioners. It's very liquidy and runny like water except that it contains Lanolin which is very good for the leather and it makes the glove highly pliable. Try it. You'll like it.

[@dedwir8532]

Hey to the people who disliked this the problem isn’t with him it’s with you

[@sinsco573]

Lol look how ripped his arms are from doing this

[@DimJongUn]

This

[@elitesocks8218]

Oh shit. I just seen that😂😂

[@Motivationtoescape]

so we basically put hot water and beat the glove up

[@brandonyankees1]

Yea that's no joke

[@austinalemania228]

So I treat the glove like my childhood bully... gotcha

[@2bmade-projects594]

Thank you sir. I appreciate your wisdom.

[@timmelley3787]

This relieves so much stress😂😂

[@laurend9655]

i tried it and it is so awsome

[@bot_physx743]

Aso is goated love this man

[@ksajak]

He's the man!

[@jeremygerritsen4953]

This is a great video on how to break in a glove!

[@nickyrout4534]

JeremyGerritsen your the first comment

[@kendra-annmartin8281]

Thank you this was helpful

[@sarahgladue5274]

This guyy is like a celebrity in the glove community

[@nathanleftfilms695]

This is the steps I followed, now my glove is perfect! Thank you!!!!

[@jayelay7517]

My team also followed these steps! By the way, Nathan great video on your baseball drills for First base! We used your drill today at our practice! Thank you!

[@Iamdjreivax]

I used this video to helps us break in our gloves as well! Great tutuorial! Nathan! you're a baller! I saw your batting cage videos!!! Keep it up!

[@nathanleftfilms695]

thanks! DJ REIVAX

[@nathanleftfilms695]

cool! me and my dad fo this a lot Jay Elay

[@729igeon5]

i love ASO and glove

[@tclizbe]

Good job

[@dylanwszolek2889]

I did this whole thing but without the hot water and it worked great

[@youtubeisthebest3043]

Dylan Wszolek hot water softens the leather and makes it easier to form that why he used hot water

[@Marylandterpenes831]

Aso surgical with that mallet! He’s done this video so many times he can do this demo in his sleep!

[@shakukon-to]

I was watching the video in the background, all I could hear was banging and slapping 😂

[@MyREDTAIL]

After the glove is completely dry I use Nikona Glove Conditioner on it, Then put a baseball in the Pocket and use a glove wrap on it and store it like that etc.

[@TheUofAfan]

Same. His method and the Nokona glove conditioner is how most all guys getting paid to play the game do it.

[@brianjoshua4586]

If your scared doing this just play catch

[@xxxllloorpoopypants3687]

Always just played catch. Granted I was a kid and didn't need an immediate break in

[@givemedarock08]

I love Wilson gloves

[@jakeheadley467]

A lot of you guys don't understand that this is the fucking Glove God.

[@baileysmith4744]

for infield i recommend using a 12 inch softball on the pocket when the glove is wet, then going to the 11 inch when its dry, only if you dont have a mallet. for outfield i recommend using a 12 inch softball for the whole process so you create a very deep pocket (the glove shouldnt be able to close easily around it, just enough that the edges close around it)

[@mariasalcedo9772]

Infielders dont usually want a deep pocket

[@baileysmith4744]

@@mariasalcedo9772. i know, but when the glove dries it shrinks back again

[@SDT_4]

I'm gonna go use this on my Rawlings Pro Preferred 🤣

[@pinoyed]

where do i get that awesome Aso shirt?

[@plaincombo6694]

Me. Aso is only one of few master baseball crafter in the world. I personally do not like using hot water (or any kind of water) but when Mr. Aso does it, I trust his technique. For 70 year old dude, he is on wicked shape.

[@tremoo5987]

folded towel works

[@camerongerace9457]

Nice

[@joeydalocc5633]

so we basically put hot water and beat the glove up

[@danielmoreno809]

Dumbass

[@no_reason2755]

Just pretend it’s your wife

[@kpuribaseball]

he’s a professional and broke in Brandon Phillips glove

[@COYOTE165A]

Thats about right etc.

[@diegopantoja155]

Idiot

[@natttth7068]

Gotta respect how he just sticks his hand into 150 degree water

[@ikeabird7913]

It just takes a little patience It takes a little time A little perseverance And a little uphill climb

[@reptarthetrx2408]

I just did this except adding the water and my new glove is already so much easier to close.

[@COYOTE165A]

Aso Question,? After this is done, Is it ok to use a good learther Glove conditioner on the glove to keep the leather from drying out tc.?

[@markamd1]

Yes

[@whtuwntfo]

Here is the thing.....hes breaking in the glove this way because most major leaguers dont use the same glove for more than a year or 2. Using water on a glove is not the greatest thing long term but is the best way to break in the glove as soon as possible. I will use this technique with my 11 year olds glove I will be getting soon and will probably need to purchase a new glove in a couple years because of him growing.

[@dr9306]

This dude is a legend and his name is literally a Cuss Word

[@davidjoeseph2646]

Lol. Good one

[@julianbriceno2688]

Is there any long term cons about this technique

[@baileysmith4744]

this guy is a pounding machine

[@matheworozco1952]

I won that glove .. He signed it also

[@onyx1466]

mathew orozco either your lying, or your one lucky son of a bit**

[@shawncohoon6900]

You are one lucky SOB. I dont know If I could ever use an Aso signed and broke In glove. Id probably buy a glass case for It and put It on my mantle In the living room. Aso = glove legend.

[@amber9394]

hey cool i won something from that giveaway also i won a glove also but it was a a500 but it was still really cool and it was also signed by aso COOL

[@pedroorozco3079]

Senpai of gloves.

[@marvinuhilarious]

fucken weeb

[@jrvarghese4773]

The way he uses that mallet is like a Japanese chef demonstrating how to use a Japanese knife… be careful of your fingers! Incredible! 😮😮😮

[@giovannytorres8794]

Should i do it to my a2000 which is grey leather

[@fredorolla838]

Is it the dp15 all grey

[@jakecaddell783]

I used this method and the green laces and piping ran and turned my white glove green. Anything I can do???

[@MyREDTAIL]

If your using your Glove for an infield position, You want a shalow pocket in it So you can get the ball out of it much faster etc.A deeper Pocket ok for an outfield position etc.

[@fmluta]

He probably makes the best pizza

[@rebeccaligman4638]

good

[@KenAdams426]

7 mins and 20 seconds of beating in a glove to get to the end and say....oh play catch. best way to break it in. LOL I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@amazins71]

What would consider 150-170 degrees water? Running hot water from a faucet?

[@deplorable_bitter_clinger7482]

Unless your hot water heater is set really high, no. You need to heat it on a stove. Just use a simple cooking thermometer you can buy at the store.

[@Jacob-kt6dd]

which model is that?

Goat🐐

[@jcrawford3975]

[@donny-2964]

That glove is so tough

[@donjen3]

I prefer the old fashion way,by playing catch.

[@DirtNassty]

Yes.. Only problem with that is when youre getting a good glove for a younger player that's not strong enough to squeeze a stiff glove... Also young kids don't throw hard enough to break in a glove on its own! These steps are very necessary in assisting your kid breaking in his new glove! 👍
