FAQs
Q: Is the Kookaburra 6.1 T20 NAVY Batting Pad 2025 suitable for competitive play?
A: As a Grade 6 quality pad, the Kookaburra 6.1 T20 NAVY Batting Pad 2025 is ideal for entry-level and club cricket. For high-grade competitive matches where bowlers are faster, a higher-grade pad with greater impact protection would be a more appropriate choice.
