Title: What are you gents using?
Post by: Bruce on May 29, 2013, 07:57:21 PM: Hello gents, what keeping gloves are you using at the moment? I got to order some stuff for the club and have managed to get them to pay for some new gloves too!
Suggestions please!

GN Oblivion Players

Love the GN range!

What are Oblivion Players? An older model? Legend, Maverick Elite, Powerbow Players and just Oblivion are the names of the 2013 gloves.

I use Legends, lovely.

Slazenger ultimates
That's what I've had my eye on for a while!
Are they this years model?
How do you like them? I've only ever used Puma before

Title: Re: What are you gents using?
Post by: justnotcricket86 on May 29, 2013, 10:47:20 PM: James Foster's Warsop gloves, Chris Read's Choice ones, Kook Silvers, Wymers and some old GM gel Originals (the grey ones)

Only use the Warsops now so if anyone in the market for some gloves, let me know as they are all for sale, just not got round to listing them anywhere yet

Post by: thecord on May 29, 2013, 10:49:41 PM: Currently squeezing the last bit of life out of the Blenheim Cricket gloves I got last year but with a rip or two forming they are on their last legs.
Will then be switching to the Ayrteks I have once they are broken in nicely.

I use Legends, lovely.

Haha. Sorry. Meant Powerbow Players. Writing whilst glued watching Game Of Thrones!

Indeed, Powerbows are a lovely glove, no difference between them and the Legends last season in my book, other than the colours and the cut.

This year the Legends have the new palm, but the Mavericks and the Powerbows are very good quality also.

Post by: ajmw89 on May 30, 2013, 07:40:03 AM: I've got Shamrock test pads and Shamrock club gloves. I'm not a keeper, but bought them just in case. Already had to use them once myself and they seem to have become the team keeping gear. Everyone who's used them has commented on the quality. Very good product!

They're beauts!

Newbery Tour Pads.

Aero P1 Inners
Title: Re: What are you gents using?
Post by: Bruce on May 30, 2013, 11:36:46 AM: Gone for the Slazenger Ultimate gloves. I watched the review on the IJC youtube page, it was that or the Spartan ones.

Have got the Newbery tour pads been using them a while, I like 'em. Doesn't feel like you are wearing them!
Title: Re: What are you gents using?
Post by: Wolfie89 on May 30, 2013, 11:39:39 AM: Using GM Original LE's gloves and GM Original pads. Pretty comfy stuff except the pads twist a bit when you're wearing them. Fancy trying the Newbery's at some point
Title: Re: What are you gents using?
Post by: LMQ21 on May 31, 2013, 04:29:40 PM: I would suggest that if you are buying a pair of gloves for the club you should look for a pair of second hand cheap gloves, any regular wicket keeper should have his own kit, with gloves that snuggly fit his hands.
Obviously if you have a rotation system or not a regular keeper, like I said, just a pair of cheap and cheerful gloves that can be shared around.

Puma, Slazenger or GN lower range gloves should be all fine.

Personally I have Newbery SPS and GN Quantums (that have just about caught their last ball)
