Agreed with both of these comments in terms of break in methods, and I also genuinely don't really understand the difficulty of breaking in a glove. I've broken in an eflex 6 580 (pro palm), 581 (game ready) and a l20.2 590 (game ready) just this year, and used all of them successfully after only having for a couple of days. Bake, tie shut, spread open, work it in non stop and then use it. There's no real mystery or secret sauce.
