New Balance Tc 800 Cricket Batting Gloves

New Balance TC 800 Cricket Batting Gloves

The New Balance TC 800 Cricket Batting Gloves feature a block-split finger design, sheep leather palms and additional protection across every finger. Plastic inserts, Crosslink Foam padding and lead-hand side bar protection provide a practical combination of protection and flexibility for regular club cricket.

The block-split design divides the finger protection into multiple sections rather than using a traditional full sausage-finger construction. This gives the fingers more flexibility when wrapping around the bat handle, helping the gloves feel less restrictive while maintaining protection.

Protection is a clear focus of the TC 800. The PU glove construction includes additional protection across all fingers with plastic inserts, adding a firmer protective layer within the finger sections.

The palm uses sheep leather, providing the main contact surface between the hands and bat handle. Crosslink Foam padding is incorporated into the glove construction to provide additional cushioning and protection.

Frequently asked questions

What are plastic inserts in cricket batting gloves?

Plastic inserts provide an additional protective layer within the padded sections of a batting glove. They work alongside the glove's foam and outer materials to increase protection rather than replacing the padding. The New Balance TC 800 includes plastic inserts as part of the additional protection across all fingers.

Should I wear batting glove inners with the New Balance TC 800?

Batting glove inners are optional and largely come down to personal preference. They can help absorb sweat and create a removable layer between your hands and the gloves, which can be useful during longer innings and regular training. They also add some bulk, so players who prefer a more direct feel may choose to bat without them.

What is the block-split design on the New Balance TC 800?

The block-split design divides the finger protection into multiple sections, rather than using one long protective roll along each finger. This gives your fingers more freedom to bend around the bat handle. The TC 800 combines this design with additional protection and plastic inserts across all fingers.
