The Hammer HEL 156 is engineered for batsmen who require maximum confidence against fast bowling. It combines a flexible, grippy sheep leather palm with a comprehensive protective system on the top hand, featuring layered HD EVA foam and rigid plastic sheets to dissipate impact energy effectively.
Protection & Padding: The top hand utilizes a multi-layered system: 2mm HD EVA foam backed by a 2mm hard plastic sheet across the full upper, including the thumb. The first two fingers have additional PVC and plastic sheets for maximum impact resistance.
Comfort & Fit: The palm is crafted from full premium sheep leather with integrated ventilation (Max Flor) for grip and breathability. Strategic V-cut fingers and separate sections on the top enhance flexibility without compromising safety.
Construction & Closure: Features a 50mm double-sided towel wrist for sweat absorption and a secure, adjustable fit via a standard hook-and-loop fastening. The imported PU material on the top ensures overall durability.
1. What level of player is the Hammer HEL 156 best suited for?
This glove is designed for competitive senior players, including openers and top-order batsmen, who regularly face fast and aggressive bowling and require the highest level of hand protection.
2. How does the hard plastic sheet on the top hand affect flexibility?
The plastic sheet is segmented and combined with V-cuts to maintain crucial flexibility for shot-making. It is designed to be rigid against impact but flexible enough to allow a natural grip and hand movement.
3. Is the sheep leather palm pre-softened, and how is the grip?
Premium sheep leather typically comes pre-softened, offering an excellent, supple grip from the first use. The "Max Flor" ventilation also enhances grip by managing moisture.
4. How does the protection on the Hammer HEL 156 compare to professional-grade gloves from major brands?
The HEL 156 employs a protection philosophy similar to top-tier gloves, using a rigid exoskeleton (hard plastic) over high-density foam. This places its protective capabilities on par with professional models, making it a serious option for high-level play.
