Product Review: Masuri T Line Batting Pads

When looking to purchase Masuri Batting Pads you need to bear in mind that the clue is in the way they name the various models: ELine (Elite), TLine (Test), CLine (Club) so they are not going to be the cheapest pads you will find, and for many of us a) we only need to look at the CLIne range and b) they are all going to be better than we need.

Masuri produce a helpful comparison guide (see below) to help you decide which will be ‘best’ for you.

Product Review: Masuri T Line Batting Pads

My Review

No surprise I am a big fan of Masuri: I like their minimalist approach to branding, the colour scheme, but mostly the amount of protection that they offer.

I have said before, and will say again, and will say now: for most of us we do not need the level of protection that ‘pro level’ equipment provides. I would argue against myself when it comes to gloves as our lack of ability increases the chances of being hot on the end of the thumb so a good pair of high level gloves would be top of my list!

With pads though I doubt many 90mph balls will be thudding into my knees so the reality is you are going to buy what you want, rather than what you need! That’s OK, just be honest about it, embrace it and when it comes to your partner play the “got to have the same brand and model – it’s the done thing these days”.

Anyway these pads are brilliant: soft and supple, strong and secure, they provide excellent protection, are light, comfortable and look great.

As I have come to expect from Masuri they are at the forefront of the market protection wise, but they look as good as any pads on the market. You wont go wrong with them, but you may want to start your search for new pads with them as you will probably save yourself a lot of time.

Manufacturers Product Description

From THE cricket protection specialist – Masuri – this batting pad features advanced Masuri Applied Technologies including PRO FOAMS, KNEE BLADE EXTRA and KNEE WING offering ultimate protection to the player where it is needed most.

A modern take on the traditional construction this pad has greater impact absorption to the area a batsman needs it most – the knee.

The most popular choice of batting pad within the range – this takes the traditional batting pad profile but advances its protective qualities by incorporating the KNEE BLADE EXTRA.

• PRO FOAMS – a combination of graded foams that increases impact absorption. Different combinations ensure the optimum balance of protection and flexibility in high risk impact areas.
• KNEE BLADE EXTRA – reinforced PRO FOAM positioned in front of the traditional knee bolster of the batting pad. Integrated within the pad, reducing the risk of a ball penetrating the knee roll without impacting running movement or comfort.
• KNEE WING – reinforced PRO FOAM that protects the vulnerable side impact zone of the knee joint. Strategically positioned on the front of the pad without having any negative impact on movement or comfort.
• Socket knee bolster for additional support to the knee.
• Padded straps and butterfly straps for additional comfort and secure fit.
