We always used glove oil, put a ball in the pocket, tied with a shoe string or piece of twine, and put in the oven. The heat mixed with the oil will really soften up a new glove. Then, of course, forming the pocket takes time through playing catch. Good luck!

Amazon.com: Fiebing's Pure Neatsfoot Oil 32oz: Sports & OutdoorsFiebing's Pure Neatsfoot Oil is a natural preservative for all leather articles subjected to rugged use. Rubbed in deeply before exposure, it repels water ...

It worked well for me and my last glove lasted for years.
