New Balance TC 1200 Cricket Batting Pads
The New Balance TC 1200 Cricket Batting Pads are premium batting pads designed for club and representative-level cricketers who want a high level of protection without unnecessarily restricting movement at the crease. They combine a seven-bar PU front with 9 mm Crosslink Foam, layered internal bolsters and a self-positioning moulded knee cup for protection against ball impacts.
The main protective face uses premium high-grade PU with a seven-bar modern construction and 9 mm Crosslink Foam. This provides the structure and cushioning needed to absorb impacts through the front of the pad while keeping the construction lightweight.
Protection around the knee comes from a self-positioning moulded cup combined with Litlon, soft foam, spacer mesh and PU. The shaped cup helps keep the protective section positioned around the knee, which is particularly important when facing faster bowling.
Behind the main front, vertical bolsters combine Litlon, soft foam and spacer mesh to provide cushioning while allowing flexibility around the leg. Three horizontal Litlon Foam bolsters add further cushioning and stability through the internal construction.
Who are the New Balance TC 1200 Batting Pads best for?
The New Balance TC 1200 is best suited to club and elite-level cricketers looking for premium leg protection with a focus on impact absorption, comfort and mobility.
The combination of 9 mm Crosslink Foam, layered bolsters and a moulded knee cup provides protection through the shin and knee, while spacer mesh and cushioned strapping help maintain comfort during longer periods at the crease.
