How to Use Nokona Glove Conditioner

Conditioning your Nokona baseball glove gives it supreme flexibility and control. Flexibility and control is needed when squeezing pop flies or gobbling up grounders without worries of the ball popping back out of the glove. Nokona baseball gloves are very stiff when new and without a conditioning with oil, your glove will not be ready for play until you break it in manually, which could take weeks. With Nokona glove conditioner, your glove will be ready to go in a few days.
