iv had a hand full of gloves.
1) salix ajk £82 (after 10% discount!), RH Youth 2015 model i use these any day. much better then salix chrome also £80. or other top of range gloves, that eg sf black edition or others that are a copy of the salix chrome.
2) newbery sps £65 , RH youth, 2015 model also excellent. i will use these also
3) newbery sps £50 , RH Youth ,2005 model , my fav i use to use these till i started spending on kit.
a gap between above three and the rest
4) mb malik, £25 , Rh mens, 2004 excellent gloves, but since a slightly bigger and hence heavier i won't use in matches but they offer excellent protection.
5) affinity £45 , Rh youth, 2015 model , prob won't use out side net use.
6) bradbury players £40. Rh Youth, 2014 model, prob won't use outside net use.
am now thinking of getting the ss ton test match (sausage) or the elite glove. as i think i need another sausage glove like my mb malik, as i think the protection is awesome. the gloves are already pre bent so they don't need much bending so the split fingers is not necessary and the impact of ball is distributed better as the whole of the finger is protected by the same roll, unlike split fingers where if impact falls on one chamber / compartment compresses that area till you feel pain direct below. it doesn't re direct the impact to other areas, as each area is isolated hence cant help out.
