Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What type of player is the Hammer Black Edition best suited for?
This glove is ideal for top-order batsmen, all-rounders, and anyone facing fast or aggressive bowling in competitive league cricket, where maximum hand protection is a priority.
2. How does the premium leather palm affect performance?
The full Cougar Pittard leather palm offers an exceptional, consistent grip on the bat handle and is highly durable. The integrated ventilation helps manage moisture, maintaining that grip and feel throughout a long innings.
3. Does the extensive protection in the Hammer Black Edition make the gloves stiff?
While they are a structured, high-protection glove, the design incorporates multiple flex points and V-cuts to promote natural hand movement. They may require a short break-in period to achieve optimal flexibility.
4. Are these gloves significantly heavier than standard models?
The use of HD EVA, hard plastics, and full leather construction gives them a medium, substantial feel. The weight is a direct result of the protective features, offering reassurance rather than a minimalist, lightweight design.
