The Kookaburra SC 4.1 is designed for the dedicated wicketkeeper. It balances premium materials with practical protection, featuring the Grade 2 Octopus rubber for a secure grip and a unique catching cup to absorb impact, all in a low-profile Shorti cut for superior feel and control behind the stumps.
1. What does the 'Shorti' style mean for the Kookaburra SC 4.1 gloves?
The Shorti style refers to a lower cut around the fingers and a shorter cuff. This design offers less bulk and greater flexibility, providing a closer feel to the hands for keepers who prioritize dexterity over maximum wrist protection.
2. What level of wicketkeeper is the Kookaburra SC 4.1 best suited for?
As a Grade 4 glove, it is well-suited for committed club-level keepers, academy players, and those who play regularly. It offers a strong balance of professional-grade features like the Octopus rubber at a more accessible level than top-tier professional models.
3. How does the 'catching cup' enhance performance?
The unique catching cup is a pre-molded pouch in the palm that helps channel the ball into the center of the hand upon impact. This design improves the security of catches, especially those taken cleanly, by controlling the ball's rebound.
4. Is the Kookaburra SC 4.1 suitable for standing up to the stumps for spin bowling?
Yes, the Shorti cut and flexible back, combined with the Grade 2 Octopus rubber, make these gloves an excellent choice for keepers who stand up to the stumps, as they provide a great feel and grip for quick, sharp catches.
