When my old sherwood were too stiff (I didn't perticually like them and i wouldn't reccomend it with eagles) i used to bend the fingers all the way back and do the same with the thumb, i'd also scrunch the hell outta them kinda like a stress ball and it really helped

Now i can swear at the other bench with ease! :)

Since when are Eagle's stiff?

You could try preheating your oven to 175 degrees:

Then use a cookie/baking sheet.

Then put a damp dish towel on the baking sheet and then put your gloves on the baking sheet into the oven for a minute or two untill they are are heated abit.

would the heat affect the Proglo material

It shouldnt if you do it right. Just watch them carefully. The damp towel keeps the gloves from burning.

They probably dont have split fingers.

Even when they're broken in the models with one piece fingers feel stiff to me. I prefer the two piece fingers and that used to be a custom option. I haven't tried any of the new ones to see how they feel.

Yeah but most eagles w/out split fingers already feel more broken in compared to gloves w/split fingers.

Mine did, maybe i just lucked out.

Probably shouldve said they feel more broken in compared to some gloves with the split fingers.

pry the fingers back to the wrist and stick each one in a vice overnight

buddy of mine did this to his eagle x70's and they were butter soft.

didnt have to with my xxx's

When i got my new mits, i wore them to bed every night.... and most of the time i still do. This is 2 months ago i bought them.

On this same topic, how do you keep the leather in the palm soft?

My gloves are starting to get a little course when dry... of course when I sweat in them, they soften up, but I'm worried about them drying stiff.

They were brand new. Haven't used them yet.

Yea my eagles were a little stiff when I first got them and I wore them around the house a few times and just played some games in them and they got softer. Or you could put warm water in the cracks of the glove. Supposable this will help. Although I do not understand that process.

With gloves like HGT's that don't need much break-in, I grab a couple of large water bottles or 32oz Nalgenes and leave them enclosed in the glove hands for a day or two.

This is probably the best way. I've used this method to help sell gloves when customers (especially kids) think a new glove is too stiff.
