Post by: AlanB on November 11, 2013, 03:36:25 PM: 2013 Kookaburra Menace Pro Players Batting Gloves Mens RH are on ebay for £30 delivered from Lorimers.

I have purchased player issue gloves from Lorimers before and have been pleased with them.

The fit is usually more akin to Small Mens than Standard Mens.

Sports Direct still have the 950 batting gloves in RH only in their sale, albeit there is a price differential between sizes. £20 for Mens; £28 for S and L Mens.

Take it along to nets and let everyone you trust use it.

I recently bought a Bubble and it felt hard in the first net, although this didn't really bother me. I've now had 5 or so nets with it and its getting better with every shot. Stick with it, be patient and you shall be rewarded!
