Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What level of player is the Kookaburra 6.1 T20 RED best suited for?
These gloves are ideal for juniors, casual club players, or for extensive net practice sessions. They are not designed for frontline batsmen facing high-velocity bowling in competitive senior matches.
2. How does the protection in these gloves compare to more expensive models?
The protection uses Medium-Density Foam instead of advanced, multi-density foams or gel systems. It is sufficient for deflecting knocks but offers less dissipation of shock from a hard, direct impact on the fingers.
3. Is the Kookaburra 6.1 T20 RED glove comfortable for long innings?
Yes, the cotton lining and extensive airflow mesh make it a breathable and comfortable glove, reducing sweat and heat buildup, which is advantageous during long net sessions or in hot conditions.
4. Do these gloves require a break-in period?
No. The materials and construction are designed to be ready-to-use with a flexible fit from the first wear, requiring minimal to no break-in time.
