New Balance TC 1200 Cricket Pads (2027)

The New Balance TC 1200 Cricket Pads are premium batting pads for players who want a modern, well-protected design, and they carry the same pad range used by England's Joe Root.

The front is made from high grade PU with a seven bar construction, backed by 9 mm cross link foam padding. That gives a solid, supportive feel at the crease without feeling cumbersome when you are running between the wickets.

Protection around the knee is a real focus here. A self-positioning moulded knee bolster combines Litton and soft foam with spacer mesh and a PU covering, helping the pad sit where it should as you move. Vertical bolsters use Litton, soft foam and spacer mesh, while three horizontal bolsters are padded with Litton foam. The instep is Litton padded with a PU covering for added cover where it counts.

Cushioned nylon straps keep the fit comfortable through a long innings, and an easy release PU tab means you can get the pads off quickly when the innings ends. Whether you are building an innings or looking to move up to a higher grade of pad, the TC 1200 is a well-specified option from New Balance.
