RAWLINGS GLOVES

Katchet is pleased to have teamed up world leading brand Rawlings to provide a select range of catching mitts for Cricket Coaches and players. We have an aim to provide a one-stop shop for the needs of Cricket coaches so providing catching mitts seemed to us to be an important addition and Since we are only interested in supplying the best products the opportunity to team up with Rawlings is a natural one.
​We spent 2018 testing the range and set out to provide various options to cater for the vast majority, if not all, Cricket coaches.

1 – Quality, durability and reliability was a pre-requisite which is guaranteed with Rawlings.
2  - A reasonable price range. Bearing in mind the mitts are not used in competition we decided not to stock any products above £100 but needed the range to cater for Elite International coaches as well as grass roots.
3 - We wanted our range to be ready to use immediately, where as the more expensive ‘Baseball Players’ products require a ‘knocking-in’ period this was not something we wanted our coaches to have to do. So our collection is at least 80% factory knocked-in. They will improve as you use them but are excellent straight from the packet.
4 – Model variants. We appreciate that amongst coaches some prefer the extra padding and protection of the Catchers mitt while others prefer the large catching area of the First Base style so we offer both styles.

Which hand? - As Rawlings is an American brand they label their products differently from the UK. The gloves are marked Regular or Right Handed, which refers to the hand the glove will go on and you will catch with.
A regular hand is apparently your left hand in the US!!
So if you throw or hit the ball with your Regular (left) hand then you will need a right handed glove and vice versa if you throw or hit the ball with your right hand then you will need a Regular (left) handed glove.
Hope that’s clear!
