About this product
Club Wicket Keeping Gloves – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.
The SG Club is a wicketkeeping glove built with natural cup-and-palm construction and an all-leather palm.
Cup-and-palm is the construction detail worth understanding. A keeping glove has a pre-formed cup shape sewn into the palm, so the glove naturally sits open with a pocket in it. The ball arrives and settles into that pocket rather than having to be trapped by closing the hands around it. The alternative – a flat glove with no formed cup – requires the keeper to do all the work, and balls bounce out of it.
The leather palm is the other specification that matters, and it is the first thing cheaper gloves drop. A leather palm with a rubber grip facing over it holds a ball when your hands are wet. A PVC palm goes slick as you sweat, and a keeper who cannot grip is a keeper who drops catches. In Dar es Salaam humidity that is not a marginal effect.
The webbing between thumb and index finger is the part that fails first on any keeping glove – it takes the load every time a ball is taken one-handed. Check it regularly and have it restitched before it tears through.
Wear proper inners: chamois or padded cotton, not thin ones. A keeper takes several hundred deliveries into the hands in a session, and the inner is what stands between that and your palms.
