A handle is rigidly attached to the spherical head and is grasped by the operator in one hand while the sports glove is worn in the other. By holding and repeatedly striking the mallet tool into the glove's pocket area repeatedly, the creation and maintenance of a pocket in the glove is facilitated. The mallet head and handle may be formed as an integral piece either molded, cast or machined from a blank, but in the preferred embodiment includes a mallet head that is an genuine regulation sports ball (baseball, softball or other) attached either mechanically or with glue to a handle resembling a miniature or youth baseball bat handle.
