Use it a lot. Or if you want to break it in really fast then just keep smacking the top of the glove and it will eventually get more broken in. You could also try playing catch with someone for a while.
Get some Glove Oil (or Shaving Cream) I prefer glove oil, and massage it into the glove every morning, stretch it out open and close it, bend it in, throw a ball into the pocket. Then put a ball in the pocket, wrap a rubber band tight around it (closed) and put it under your mattress. Leave it there until you wake up to put more Oil on it the next morning, the more you work it every morning the quicker it will break in.
With enough work it should be pretty good in a week to ten days.
use a lightweight oil, rub into the leather, and just keep throwing the ball into it from the other hand, when not throwing keep a ball in it closed to give it the shape
rub shaving cream into the leather.
put a baseball in the pocket and wrap it tightly with rubber bands.
place it in the oven at a really low temperature.
The best way is also that the fastest way…
There are multiple ways:
1) Go to Walmart or a sports store and buy some conditioning oil (comes in squirt bottle or spray) give all your glove a nice layer (like you would the spray sunscreen). then take a baseball (or if you have a softball that works even better) but it in the glove, take a belt you have or something and wrap it tight around the glove, and finally put it in your closet, or pantry (somewhere dark) for a couple days…
2) If you don’t want to do that try this: Take some shaving lotion, and rub that in to the glove. After that, put yor glove in the oven at about 200-250 degrees for about 5-7 minutes. That heat will looosen up the leather and make it more pliable.
After both, just play catch normally and you can have it broken in in no time
