JCYC5 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2005 With what though?I found that if I have gloves I find hard to open, leave it to "hold" something overnight helps... something like a bottle or anything that can stretch it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andoy 5 Report post Posted December 23, 2005 I've had my Eagle x46s baked @ my LHS when i purchased them. They felt more flexible afterwards though I'm sure you can't do it with every glove. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Project_2501 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2005 I'm getting some Pro Tacks for X-Mas, should I skate with them for a time out, or bake them straight off?Oh, and to bake them, what procedures/precautions do you take? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andoy 5 Report post Posted December 24, 2005 I reckon u take the same precautions as you would baking a skate. That would suck if u get burn marks on ur brand new gloves! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Project_2501 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2005 I'm thinking to just use them. I didn't even know I could bake gloves when I had my TPS R2s and never had a problem... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherwood21 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2005 Pro Tacks are probably the softest gloves off the shelf retail, so you shouldn't have to worry about baking them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Project_2501 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2005 The palms were amazing when I felt them at my LHS. My dad was kinda miffed about the price, but he found them and offered to get them for XMas (along with other gear). Much nicer than the Vapor XV I tried on just before.

I don't.I do it in my family room. :D And using a ping pong ball kinda helps with speed, but makes you look down, which has a dentrimental affect I guess.

Andoy 5 Report post Posted December 24, 2005 Since I can't stickhandle indoors i just wear my gloves as much as i can before my ice session but I must say after baking it it feels really good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But for Christmas the warden ((WIFE)) got me a pair of easton 1300's 14" and it says on the tag bakable?? Is this for real, they feel fine why would I bake this glove???Thanks.
