Yes lol, reading back, that was a fairly stupid comment to make. I guess if you think it will help, It will. If you this it won't then it won't. I personally, after seeing mates of mine at uni use it, I'd say it was decent!

My son has been to one and the difference is staggering

2011 season prior to visit
21 innings (junior u15/16 matches & adult 2nds & sunday),
363 runs, 2 not out, average 19.1

after meeting/session
10 innings (same levels),
598 runs, 4 not out including 109 & 100, average 99.666

It works for him !  :D
