Hi,

Any ideas on the best place to get WK Gloves refaced? Looking for octupus gripping?

Thanks

£25 a pop, not that cheap but he's been doing mine for a few years now and never disappoints.  Also got octopus rubber in white/black.

*Edit* Just realised it's £28 now due to the VAT increase, still worth it if your gloves cost a bit in the first place.

Once you find a nice pair of gloves, there's no point giving them up easy! Nothing worse than having to break new ones in and the feeling of hard gloves!

Can't see any advantage to buying a new pair of gloves, not only do you have to spend another £20 (£40 for some gloves now) but you've got to work a new pair in again. I'm still using the 2007 & 2008 kookaburra silvers, been refaced many many times and they've still got a lot of life in them.

Agreed, It's like with your favourite bat. Aslong as it still does the job, you dont mind whatcondition it's in!
