- Many junior pads, such as the Gray-Nicolls Youth Junior Batting Pads, use a combination of cane rods and multiple layers of foam for protection. This can include vapour foam for cushioning and diffuser foam for impact absorption.
- Design: The pads are contoured to fit a junior player's body, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit. Some pads have a seven-vertical-section rod design for enhanced flexibility, allowing for natural movement.
