Why Proper Glove Break In Is Important?
So, you just spent $300 on a new HoH or A2000? Or, if you were in the know, you picked up a MadClaw for a fraction of the price. No matter which premium glove you chose, it is necessary for it to be properly broken in. Otherwise, you just wasted your hard earned money on a chunk of leather that would have been better suited for a fancy purse for your wife. That's why I created the Monster Mallet baseball glove, break-in tool-I didn't want to watch my kid drop balls with a glove that cost me a day's salary.
Why would anyone need a pneumatic powered, baseball glove, break-in tool? That kind of sounds like overkill-but it isn't. In December of 2024, our house unexpectedly caught fire and we lost all of the contents in our house. My oldest son is a catcher, so he lost his mitt that he had molded to his hand for two years, and my youngest lost his fielding glove that was not floppy, but just right. With practices starting in 3 weeks for my 13 year old, I knew that wasn't enough time to break in a new mitt, especially the A2000 I was getting him for Christmas.
Thus, the Monster Mallet was born. I started with the idea of supercharging a massage gun. However, I couldn't find anything with enough punch to get the job done, especially not for a catcher's mitt. I went into search mode and found a tool that would do the trick. Through testing and research, I learned I could patent the idea because I was using the tool for a novel use and was solving a problem. Now, I have a patent pending for a pneumatic baseball glove break-in tool. If you have ever tried to break in a high-end catcher's mitt, then you know the Monster Mallet solves a problem.
No matter what glove you have, if you spend your hard earned money, you want it to be broke-in correctly. We spend our money because we want to see a smile on our kid's face, and we want them to have something they cherish. There are a lot of ways to mess up the break-in process, but the Monster Mallet helps do it right. The Monster Mallet will soften the leather and break-in the pocket just the way you want it. The Monster Mallet combines the power of a traditional mallet to bust up the hinges and the speed of a pitching machine to form the perfect pocket.
