Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the advantage of the 'Shorti' cuff on the Kookabra SC 3.1 gloves?
The Shorti cuff offers less restriction and a lighter feel around the wrist, which can be preferred by keepers who prioritize maximum mobility and flexibility over the extended protection of a full-length cuff.
2. What level of wicketkeeper is the Kookaburra SC 3.1 best suited for?
As a Grade 3 glove, it is well-suited for dedicated club-level keepers and league players who require a durable, high-performance glove that can withstand regular match play without the cost of a professional Grade 1 model.
3. How does the 'Octopus' rubber perform in different conditions?
The Grade 1 'Octopus' rubber is designed to offer a consistent and durable grip. It provides a reliable surface for catching in most conditions, though, like all rubbers, its tackiness can be affected by excessive moisture or dust.
4. Is the unique thumb setting on the Kookaburra SC 3.1 noticeable during use?
Yes, the unique thumb setting is designed to work in conjunction with the catching cup to better position the thumb for catches, potentially enhancing control and feel when taking the ball.
