Answer 1

Well the best thing to do is start pounding it with a pocket pounder or just use your fist and after you do that dip the mesh in warm water and take a lacrosse ball and put it in the mesh about toward the center so it creates a deep pocket and take a butter knife and put it through and let it sit overnight. Then when you wake up in the morning play some catch with somebody or a little wall ball and it should break in rather easily.

Answer 2

Probably the best way to break it in is to soak it. First put a ball in the head. Then put a knife or screwdriver, or something like that, over the ball in the little space between the plastic head and the mesh. Make sure the knife is holding on top of the ball in between the mesh and plastic. Then place the entire head underwater in a bucket of warm or hot water. Let is soak like that for a few hours or maybe even overnight. This will really break it in. Or just taking a ball and smacking it into the mesh everyday for a while will also break it in, but not as much. Finally just using it everyday should help. But the soaking method is one of the best.

The method I use is to punch it a few times, wet the mesh then play catch with some one else or bounce the ball into the pocket from a hard surface.
