📌Cricket Batting Pads Specifications
The Kookaburra Ghost 2.2 Cricket Batting Pads are engineered for the player who demands the aesthetics of a classic pad with the performance of 21st-century technology. In the USA cricket circuit, where players often face diverse bowling styles, the Ghost 2.2 offers a versatile defense. Its traditional 7-cane front is reinforced with HDF (High-Density Foam), creating a rigid shield that absorbs and spreads the force of the ball.
The Ghost series is famously known for its minimalist, all-white design, but the 2.2 model is as much about function as it is form. The split-knee locator allows for a deeper crouch and a more natural hinge when running, solving the common problem of "stiff" professional pads. For cricketers in Naperville and the Midwest, this means better mobility on the field and less fatigue during long, grueling double-headers.

Impact Protection: Reinforced Cane with HDF Side Wings

📌 Why Kookaburra Ghost 2.2 Cricket Batting Pads
1. Professional Impact Management
The Ghost 2.2 doesn't just block the ball; it manages energy. By utilizing a hybrid of lightweight cane and high-density foam, Kookaburra ensures that the force of a 90mph delivery is dissipated before it ever reaches your leg.
2. Anatomical Contour Pro Fit
Movement is key to modern batting. The Contour Pro knee roll is shaped to wrap around the leg, providing a secure, non-slip feel. This anatomical fit ensures that even during a desperate dive or a quick turn for a second run, your pads stay exactly where they need to be.
3. Built for the Midwest Athlete
We know the Illinois summer can be punishing. The Ghost 2.2 features Max-Flo ventilation through the internal bolsters and a moisture-wicking lining. This keeps the pads from becoming "heavy" with sweat, allowing you to stay as light in the 40th over as you were in the 1st.
