Hi all
I started playing cricket a few years ago and quickly fell in love with keeping. I bought my first pair of gloves (which had an octopus grip) part way through the 2022 summer, and by the end of the 2023 summer, the grip was completely worn out in the key catching areas. I am looking to buy a new pair for next summer, but I'm unsure what I need. Ideally I'd like a more durable grip, so I'm not replacing them every season or so, but obviously not at the loss of 'stickyness'
I would imagine the pimples are more durable than the octopus, but I've never had pair long term to compare with, plus the ones I've used always seem less sticky. Also what are peoples thoughts on the new gel palms that G&M do? They're expensive but if they'll last a while it might be a worthwhile investment.
