Any tips/instructions for removing shot blockers from gloves? Want to take them off of these but not sure where to start.

i just cut them off with scissors but there is definitely a better way to do it.
Im sure someone who is more meticulous and detail oriented will chime in.

Invest in a seam ripper. Grab a cheap one from amazon. It’ll make things much neater and easier.

target carries seam rippers. but you can also use a x-acto knife or a razorblade, just take your time. have used a razorblade on three pairs of gloves with great success. Although they were nylon, good luck.

Do the outside first and then peel them back to expose the threads between the index and backhand rolls. It’s honestly insanely easy to do and it blows my mind that so many people waste their money and Pats time sending him gloves to have that done.

Start with a seam ripper and follow the advice from the posters above. Just be careful since they're leather and it's your first try. It's very easy to do, just pull them taut and concentrate on hitting the treads that connect the shot blockers to the glove.

Definitely going to try a seam ripper next time

Once you get the first stitch undone you can just pull on the shot blocker to put tension on and expose the threads that actually attach the shot blocker so you aren’t cutting anything that’s part of the glove.

Following everyone else's comments. I used an exacto knife to get as close to the edge as possible to remove the shot blockers themselves, but have also used a seam ripper
