Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What level of player is the Kookaburra 2.1 T20 NAVY designed for?
This glove is engineered for committed club cricketers, academy players, and semi-professionals who regularly face fast bowling and require a high level of protection without the cost of a top-tier international grade glove.
2. How does the sheep leather palm benefit performance?
The 'Rome' sheep leather provides a superior, tacky grip on the bat handle, enhancing control. It is also more durable and moulds to the hand better over time compared to synthetic materials, offering improved longevity and feel.
3. Is the protection adequate for a batsman who frequently faces fast bowling?
Yes. The combination of High-Density Foam (HDF) on critical impact zones and the reinforced 'Hi-Tech' Fibre Protection Chambers is specifically designed to dissipate the shock from high-velocity ball impacts, making them suitable for facing fast bowling.
4. How does the Kookaburra 2.1 T20 NAVY differ from entry-level gloves?
The key differences are the use of premium sheep leather, the inclusion of High-Density Foam (HDF) instead of just Medium-Density Foam (MDF), and more sophisticated multi-piece protection on the fingers and thumb, resulting in significantly better impact absorption and durability.
