FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for professional players?

The Kookaburra 750 Wicket Keeping Glove is designed for adult players and offers good performance for club and representative levels. While it incorporates quality materials, professional players may opt for higher-grade gloves with full leather palms for enhanced feel and flexibility.

How do I choose the right size?

These gloves are available in 'Adult Player' size. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit. The fingers should reach the end of the glove without being cramped, and the cuff should sit comfortably around your wrist.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the PVC, rubber, and internal padding, affecting the glove's performance and lifespan.

How long will the 'Octopus' rubber grip last?

The 'Octopus' rubber is designed for durability, but its lifespan depends on playing frequency and conditions. Regular cleaning and proper care will help maintain its grip and longevity.

What is the main advantage of the 'Kookaburra catching cup'?

The unique Kookaburra catching cup, combined with cotton padding, is designed to create a more secure and comfortable pocket for the ball, reducing dropped catches.

Is the PVC palm durable?

Yes, premium PVC is used for the palm and finger backs, offering good durability and resistance to wear and tear, suitable for regular use.

What does 'Law 40.2 Compliant' mean?

It means the glove's web construction meets the regulations set by cricket's governing bodies for wicket-keeping gloves, ensuring it is legal for use in official matches.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel stiff

This is normal for PVC gloves. Use them during practice sessions to allow them to naturally flex and mold to your hands. Avoid harsh conditioning products.

Reduced grip after use

Wipe the 'Octopus' rubber palm with a damp cloth to remove any surface dirt or ball polish that may be affecting grip. Ensure the palm is dry before use.

Cuff feels uncomfortable

Ensure the cuff is fastened correctly. The premium super soft brushed cotton lining should provide comfort, but allow a few sessions for the glove to fully adapt to your wrist shape.

Deodorization needed

If odor becomes an issue, place a glove deodorizer or a sachet of baking soda inside the gloves overnight. Ensure gloves are completely dry before storing.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable construction with premium PVC elements.
  • Designed with a unique catching cup for enhanced grip.
  • Comfortable palm lining made of cotton.
  • Meets official cricket regulations for wicket-keeping gloves.
  • Long cut style offers good wrist protection.

Cons

  • Palm is made of PVC, which may be less flexible than leather alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are ready for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably on your hands. The long cut cuff may require a brief period to mold to your wrist.

Compatibility: Designed for adult players, these gloves are compatible with standard cricket attire and equipment.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After use, wipe the gloves with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid soaking the gloves in water, especially the rubber and PVC components.
  2. Drying: Allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place, ideally in a glove bag or a well-ventilated area to prevent odor buildup and maintain their shape.
  4. Break-in: While designed for immediate use, minimal break-in may occur naturally during the first few sessions. Ensure the fit remains comfortable.
