Kookaburra Diablo Pro 3.0 Cricket Batting Gloves
The Kookaburra Diablo Pro 3.0 Cricket Batting Gloves are protective cricket gloves designed for club cricketers who want comprehensive hand coverage without moving into Kookaburra's top-end models. They combine Multi Flex finger and thumb protection with a High Density Foam backhand, bottom-hand sidebar and premium leather palm, providing a strong balance of protection, movement and feel at the crease.
The Diablo Pro 3.0 uses Hybrid Rounded and Square Foam Styling, combining different protective finger shapes across the glove. Underneath, Multi Flex Finger Protection uses segmented sections that allow the fingers to flex around the bat handle while maintaining protective coverage.
The thumb also uses Multi Flex Protection, helping maintain movement when gripping the bat while providing coverage around an important impact area. A High Density Foam Backhand extends protection across the back of the hand.
Additional protection comes from a One Piece Sidebar on the bottom hand. The bottom hand is generally more exposed when batting, so this section provides extra coverage along the side of the glove where an incoming delivery can make contact.
A Premium Leather Palm with Airflow Ventilation provides the main connection between the hands and bat handle. The leather construction provides a quality contact surface for feel and control, while palm ventilation works alongside the Breathable Airflow Mesh Gusset to encourage airflow inside the gloves.
Inside, a Soft Fill Lining adds comfort around the hand. A towelling wristband provides a comfortable contact point around the wrist, while the Secure Velcro Closure allows the gloves to be fastened firmly before batting.
Who are the Diablo Pro 3.0 Batting Gloves best for?
The Kookaburra Diablo Pro 3.0 Batting Gloves are best for club cricketers looking for comprehensive protection with good flexibility and a premium leather palm. Multi Flex finger and thumb protection, High Density Foam and the additional bottom-hand sidebar give competitive players a well-rounded protective setup for regular club cricket.
What should you consider before buying?
The main consideration is sizing. The Kookaburra Diablo Pro 3.0 Batting Gloves are only available in Adult size, so players requiring a smaller or larger glove will need to consider another model.
