CA Gold Batting Gloves

Advantages: Wonderfull willow used to make.
Disadvantages: May be a bit heavy overall.

...This is a beautifull bat,it is made out of grade 1 english willow, which is one fo the best.From the top of the handle to the bottom it is equally weighted, you may ask why this is important? This is important because if your a top order batsmen it is important that you are well balanced when playing a shot. The bat also makes it easy to transfer balance and allows more control for the batsmen. The only downside of this bat is that it is quite heavy, it can way around 3 pounds which is very heavy for if you play at a high level. This bat is used by world class players such as: Inzamam Ul Haq former captain of the pakistan. If you are an attacking top order batsmen then this is the bat for you, but if your a cautious top order batsmen this may not be the choice for you.... Read review

Advantages: perfect weight balance
Disadvantages: must be knocked in very well.

...I have always been a great fan of CA bats. For me they are clearly the best bats, but that is my personal choice because the CA white Gold is Chunkier than your normal Gray Nicholls bat.

Advantages: Well protected and comfy
Disadvantages: Too big velcra and Expensive

...The Ultimate Glove. More technology here than in an aircraft, there well protected, comfy and look good! I've had a pair for a year now and have fallen in love with them. Although I've only been hit there a few times it hurts distinctively less than any of my previous gloves. Quad Flex, Hex Tech impact absorption, fibre inserts, Slazenger's airflow system, are the official names for all the protection bits. The palms also absorb your sweat so cuts out the need for inner gloves. They are very durable (mine are still in good condition after a year playing a few times a week!). However one note of caution, the Velcro is slightly too big for the strap, so if you like to wear a woolly jumper when batting it often attaches itself and can get very annoying. They are also one of the more expensive gloves at around £60. Overall they are defiantly... Read review
