Title: Gray Nicholls gloves
Post by: Liam-SCCC on November 21, 2013, 06:05:29 PM
Looking to get a new pair of GN batting gloves for Christmas, but I don't know what ones!

Any of you retailers that have had a chance to try them on or see them in the flesh, could you please pass a few comments on them please?

I'm talking about the top end gloves and I'm ruling the Mavericks out on pure ugly grounds

Thanks

I have all of them in stock now, have done for 2 weeks.

My favourites are technically not part of the range, they are just here for the Ashes, the E41 1000 LE. The DW Kaboom gloves are also very good.

Out of the core range of gloves, the Powerbow Gen X Players are my favourites.

The powerbows and mavericks are my favourite. I would probably go for the Powerbow because the bat looks better lol.

I'm also torn. For me it's between the powerbow gen x players and the oblivion e41 test. Verging towards the oblivion as I don't like the palm of the powerbow and love the minimilist look

Do I just splash out and get the Legends? Don't know if I'll like the shark tooth!

I have my beady eye on a pair of Legends, might fork out on them for the start of next season. Best price I have found is around £65 though.

I just got some Legends (Aus version) and I've only had them long enough for one net and game.  They are the nicest and softest feeling gloves I have worn and feel huge they have so much protection.  On the downside they will need some wearing in, my cheaper Gray-Nics gloves feel less quality and considerably less protection but are pre curved so don't need to be 'worn in'

Hope that helps

I have a pair of legends I've used on and off....great protection but quite bulky. I prefer thinner protection to get a more natural feel of the bat
