Batting Gloves
Consider the Proper Grip
The batting gloves should have a very comfortable grip like you look for your driving or other gloves. For this the material of the batting gloves must be of highest quality. You can get these from extra small to extra large XXL in size. The extra small size is about 7 inches and the XXL is about 12 inches. To buy the perfect fit measure your finger length that is usually between 3 ¼ inches to over 4 ½ inches. The crotch of your batting gloves must precisely fit along the base of your fingers. Your finger length should allow the required bend and the palm width should be without wrinkles but with perfect fit. If you will buy the imperfect size then you will lose the grip.
Batting Gloves Material
Batting gloves are made from different kind of technologically advanced material so that you have the right grip over the bat. Treated tacky leather is the fantastic option but if you are looking for something that has grip as well less cost then look for the synthetic leather batting gloves. For summers the
batting gloves must have the mesh backed panel.
What to Avoid?
Do not buy any cheap brand or low quality batting gloves as some of the low grade batting gloves have seams across the palm and right along the fingers. THis can turn out your bad
cricket equipment.
Avoid batting gloves in which the seam runs across your finger and the one having seam across the center of the palm. This actually leads to discomfort.
Buy the batting glove that has the wrist closure made up of Velcro tape as this is very comfortable.
