Playing Fastpitch Softball is a great experience. Running onto the field with your perfectly broken in fastpitch gloves gives you a feeling of confidence. When the batter hits a hard hit grounder to your zone you recieve the ball and make the throw over to first for the out. Awesome!

Now, after the long tournament your perfectly broken in fastpitch gloves are dirty, dusty and feeling a little dried out. Its time to do some maintanence.



Review the post about in season glove care for the Basics of glove care. Here are a few things you need to know before working on that fastpitch softball glove.

1. Don't put anything on your glove that you wouldn't put on your own skin. The leather in your fastpitch glove is skin, remember that and you will be good.

2. Don't use dishwashing liquid or any kind of detergent to clean your glove. These will remove the essential oils that were tanned into the leather during crafting.

3. Do use a good quality leather conditioner such as Akadema Glove Conditioner, Lexol, Glove Loogie or mink oil. Shave cream with Lanolin can also be used.

There you go, now remember to take care of your glove so it can take care of you on the field.

Just keepin' it real...
