Kookaburra Kahuna Pro 7.0 Cricket Batting Gloves

Kookaburra Kahuna Pro 7.0 Cricket Batting Gloves

The Kookaburra Kahuna Pro 7.0 Cricket Batting Gloves are designed for developing cricketers ready to progress into club cricket with a higher level of protection. Multi Flex finger protection, a one-piece protected thumb and a leather palm give the Pro 7.0 a step up in specification, while soft lining and ventilation help maintain comfort at the crease.

The Multi Flex Finger Protection is a key feature of the Kahuna Pro 7.0. The segmented construction provides protection across the fingers while allowing them to flex around the bat handle, helping developing players maintain a natural and secure grip.

Kookaburra combines this with Square Foam Styling and One Piece Thumb Protection. The protected thumb provides additional coverage to an important impact area, with the additional thumb protection positioned on the bottom hand according to the player's batting orientation.

A Leather Palm with Airflow Ventilation provides comfort when holding the bat. Compared with the durable palm used on the entry-level Kahuna Pro 9.0, the leather palm is one of the notable specification upgrades when moving into the Pro 7.0.

Comfort comes from a Super Soft Lining, while the Breathable Airflow Mesh Gusset and palm ventilation encourage airflow through the gloves. A towelling wristband helps manage moisture around the wrist during longer batting sessions.

Who are the Kookaburra Kahuna Pro 7.0 Batting Gloves best for?

The Kookaburra Kahuna Pro 7.0 Batting Gloves are best for new and developing cricketers taking the next step into club or school cricket. They provide an upgrade from a basic beginner glove through Multi Flex finger protection, a leather palm and Super Soft Lining, making them particularly relevant to players beginning to take their cricket more seriously.

What should you consider before buying?

The Kahuna Pro 7.0 is positioned towards developing club cricketers rather than players requiring the more extensive reinforced protection found in Kookaburra's higher-level batting gloves. As players progress and begin facing quicker bowling, it is worth considering the level of hand and finger protection appropriate for their cricket.

Correct sizing and dexterity are also important. The Pro 7.0 is available from Small Junior through to Adult, so players should choose a glove that fits securely rather than simply selecting a larger size to grow into.

Frequently asked questions

Who are the Kookaburra Kahuna Pro 7.0 Batting Gloves designed for?

The Kahuna Pro 7.0 is designed for new and developing cricketers progressing into club cricket. Multi Flex finger protection, a leather palm and one-piece protected thumb provide a step up in specification for players moving beyond their first basic pair of batting gloves.

What sizes are the Kookaburra Kahuna Pro 7.0 available in?

The Kookaburra Kahuna Pro 7.0 Batting Gloves are available in Adult, Youth, Junior and Small Junior sizes. This gives both developing junior and senior cricketers several sizing options when choosing the appropriate glove.

How do I choose right or left handed batting gloves?

Choose batting gloves based on whether the player bats right or left handed, not which hand they write or throw with. The additional thumb protection is positioned on the bottom hand, so selecting the correct batting orientation ensures that protection is on the appropriate glove. For a right-handed batter, the left hand sits above the right hand on the bat handle. This makes the right hand the bottom hand, so the additional thumb protection is positioned on the right glove. For a left-handed batter, the right hand sits above the left hand. This makes the left hand the bottom hand, so the additional thumb protection is positioned on the left glove.

What is Multi Flex finger protection?

Multi Flex is the finger protection construction used on the Kahuna Pro 7.0. Its segmented design allows the protective finger sections to flex as the player closes their hands around the bat handle, balancing protective coverage with the movement needed for batting.
