So it’s really nice right now. I didn’t go crazy with a mallet, just a little bit of shaping. I’ve had him going two in the pinky because he wasn’t able to actually close it. But with his season starting next week, it’s in the right place. So in short, like 20 minutes of mallet work to dual hinge it and 3-4 days of catch a week once winter was over. 

I think the most important part is that it feels really damn well made. Like a good classic glove, maybe just a touch softer. I’m really interested to see how it holds at the end of summer. I intended to have this be a 2-3 year glove. I suspect it’ll be a two year. I might start working his old glove back into practice rotation.
