Softball Glove String Replacement

Introduction

If your softball glove has a broken string, you need to restring it before you can play again. This guide will show you how to restring the fingers of your softball glove, making your glove as good as new. When restringing your glove, make sure the smooth part of the string is facing outwards. This is important so the string doesn’t slide or move around when you’re playing catch. Also, leather glove conditioner will make this process easier and smoother, but it is not required.
