The Kookaburra Rapid Pro is engineered for the demands of high-level cricket. It combines premium 'Rome' sheep leather for a superior grip and feel with advanced impact foams like Poron XRD and reinforced fibre inserts to dissipate shock from fast bowling, ensuring protection without compromising on bat handle sensation.
Protection & Padding: Features a multi-layered protection system including Poron XRD foam and High-Density Foam (HDF) with reinforced fibre inserts on fingers and thumb. This design offers exceptional shock dispersal for facing high-paced bowling.
Comfort & Feel: The palm is made from super-soft 'Rome' sheep leather with 'Max Flo' ventilation, providing an excellent grip, natural flexibility, and breathability. The internal lining uses premium soft-fill for immediate comfort.
Construction & Closure: Built as a Grade 1 (top-tier) glove, it includes a 50mm neoprene wrist with a rubberised over flap for secure lockdown and enhanced support, completing a professional-grade protective package.
1. What makes the Kookaburra Rapid Pro gloves suitable for facing fast bowling?
The integration of Poron XRD foam, which is a highly shock-absorbent material, along with reinforced fibre inserts and full-length HDF on key fingers, is specifically designed to dissipate the high-impact energy from fast-paced deliveries.
2. How does the sheep leather palm affect performance?
Premium 'Rome' sheep leather offers a thinner, more supple feel than synthetic materials, enhancing the batsman's connection to the bat handle for improved shot control, while also providing durable and natural grip.
3. Are the Kookaburra Rapid Pro gloves heavy or bulky due to the high level of protection?
No. Despite the comprehensive protection, the use of lightweight High-Density Foams and strategic material placement ensures the gloves maintain a low profile and remain light for unrestricted bat speed and comfort.
4. What does the 'Grade 1 quality' designation mean for these gloves?
Grade 1 is Kookaburra's highest quality rating, indicating the use of the most advanced protective technologies and premium materials available, making these gloves suitable for professional and serious competitive cricketers.
