Hey everybody,
I am currently using an Akadema "funnel" glove, the AFL 10 version. You can look at it here: http://www.e-sportsemporium.com/pilot.asp?pg=funnel. I was wondering if anyone was using this glove and what they thought? Also, anyone who reads this, how do you break in your glove? Is there any advantage to using a glove mallet?
Thanks everyone

I do not like that glove... Never heard of it before.

I just got my new glove last week, kelley, and its been breaking in nicely. All I have been doing is sleeping over it and the ocasional catch playing. (kind of hard to do when its only 35 degrees with rain every day).

Lots of catch.

I have broken in gloves and have known people to break in gloves by filling a bucket up with water, dip the glove in for about 5 seconds just to get it damp, NOT SOAKED but damp, then turn it inside out put on a hanger let dry. then fold back over when dry iol it up and it breaks in nicely and quicker than anything i have done. People always say it is easier to dryrot, but i keep my gloves oiled so i have had no issues with that.

A glove mallet is just a replacement for playing catch.
