what type of plam do you like on you batting gloves sheep skin plam or english pittards leather plam ???????????
-
I like Indian Pittards - you get the feel of sheep skin, but the grip of pittard palms. Don't last that long but I still prefer them over pittards, you lose some feel I feel.
-
i had them 2 yrs ago found them ok not great
-
I've been using the kook rogues from last year with pittards, and I love them. Don't think I'll ever go back to a 'normal' palm
-
If you get a really good quality sheepskin palm then they're more comfy than pittards but pittards does give slightly better grip...so I'm undecided....I've heard good things about the black pittards they use in the Salix gloves but I don't know if its really all that different...
-
I don't think you can get much better than what puma use in there top of the range. It used to be pittards. Puma for me make the best/comfy gloves on the market.

couldnt agree more with this, their gloves are super comfy. I dont like pittards palms at all, they feel wet and very thin ..... good quality sheepskin are the best.
Maybe the reason GN Legend and MH Disticntion are not pittards???
-
yes gn dont use it they use a top sheep skin keep giveing me your views
-
Proper pittards for me, find them super comfy. I have a pair of ayrtek gloves with the Indian type palms that I am yet to use though, have a tough job to beat the real deal
-
Only ever used normal sheepskin palms then I got my Woodstock Platinum gloves with real pittards and I don't think I will ever go back. The grip and comfort is unreal!
-
i like propper pittard but its not want i want its want the customer needs
-
Am I right in thinking that there are a few different types of 'real pittards'? ie English made from Pittards themselves?? I wonder how they match up against each other?
-
I have GM originals and Newberry sps gloves. Both have great palms.

Depends what market your aiming for. I went into my local shop. Tried on every pair. Most comfiest pair were puma ballistic 5000's. Didn't like them in the gold, searched online and bought the model in green. Fantastic gloves. Bought the iridiums and they too are so comfy. If I were to produce any I would go with whatever material makes them comfy.

Yeah, WR100X and Ammortan I think?
-
i had the wr100x this year
-
Pittards every day for me. My hands sweat a lot and I found I lost grip with sheepskin much more than with Pittards. Sheepskin palms would go shiny and slippery after a dozen or so innings. I also prefer a thin palm to give a better feel of the bat. I currently use Kookaburra Kahuna 1000s and before that Albion Elites.
-
The Kook Kangaroo palm is very good (apropo Kahuna players gloves)
Very comfy and durable.
-
Whats the palm called on the gloves I just got off you Dean??
-
WR100X
-
Do the people that think sheepskin is too slippery and sweaty use batting inners? If not, I think this may help. Also, a good quality sheepskin glove + batting inners usually comes out cheaper than pittards gloves alone...
-
I hate using inners for batting, feels horrible so that's not an option for me hence the pittards preference
-
2 pairs of quality sheepskin does the trick, will alos prolong the life of them if you swop after 20 overs.

Likewise. Too thick and can't feel bat.
Incidentally I seem to recall from Don Bradman's book ("The Art of Cricket" I think) that his preference was for open (i.e. no) palms - he felt that gave him the best feel on the bat handle. Mind you, I guess they only had the smooth grips in those days and some of the modern patterns would probably rip your hands to shreds.

I have 2 pairs of Pittard match gloves and swap them at the drinks break (assuming I last that long!)
-
WRX100 is the treatment on the pittards, there in the Cougar plans like on Vulcan, Newbery SPS, new Ayrtek Elite. And amourtan like on the GM LE, I believe both also hold the Wrx100 tag
-
i hate wearing inner gloves to so at this time pittards seems they way but ill let run for a week or so. good feedback lads
-
In my opinion gloves should be made in both types of palms sheep skin and pittards that way the customer can chose which they prefer and the manufacture/brand is not then loosing out on any sales.
Not sure anyone does this yet but i cant see why ?
-
I think its cost and when being made and the hassle to manufactuer
-
Well in my limited experience i don't see who a manufacture would say its a hassle and if they did i wouldnt be using them again, lets say you were to order 50 pairs of Pittards and 50 pairs of sheepskin i don't see its a hassle to do and i spent 10 years as a manager in a manufacturing company and the customer always got what they want.
You may pay more for the pittards leather which is simply reflected in what the customer pays for the gloves same goes for the sheepskin, but you then have something which every potential customer wants as a lot have said pittards and a lot want sheepskin and just makes sense to me.
-
i know some companys have one style of glove with one plan and 2nd style with other plam i can see were your comeing from thow
-
yer i wouldnt do this on lower range gloves but some of the smaller brands only have 2 gloves or so on offer so perhaps offer either pittards or sheepskin on the top end glove and then look to do this on another design as im convinced it would be successful and as a customer i would like the choice and i would be more likely to buy from a company offering this.
-
yes maybe iam very small so next year it will be 2 ranges of gloves :(
-
My comment was aimed at you being small in any way, i was just meaning its perhaps something which could help a smaller brand stand out from the big boys and be easier to do if you only were offering 2 design of glove.
-
yes i know what you ment and yes its not a bad idea
-
That's fine just stick the commission in the post once the orders flood in ha.
