How to relace a softball glove

Relacing a softball glove involves replacing the leather laces that hold the glove’s parts together. To start, remove the old laces carefully with a pair of pliers or a lace puller. Then, thread new laces through the same holes, beginning with the web and working around the fingers and pocket.

Most players use a lacing kit that comes with pre-cut leather laces and a tool to help guide them through the glove. When finished, tighten the laces so the glove feels secure, but not too stiff. Relacing can restore a glove’s structure and extend its lifespan for years!
