Title: Training drills for the katchet
Post by: Liam-SCCC on February 16, 2012, 02:47:29 PM: Have just bought a katchet for the club and was wondering what drills people use them for. We have a bowling machine to use them with and the only thing Incan think off is to out the B/Machine on the floor and fire balls into it for slip catching

What do you guys do with yours?

can also do the matt prior keeping drills which he demo's on sky. think it can still be found on the topic on here.

However, our bowling machine is out of action so I will have to rely on my arm and bowling machine balls tonight. Is it just as effective with this method?

Title: Re: Training drills for the katchet
Post by: Red Ink Cricket on February 20, 2012, 01:45:32 PM: That looks useful. will have to see if we can get our hands on the bowling machine we borrow and set that up.
Title: Re: Training drills for the katchet
Post by: Simmy on February 20, 2012, 01:48:18 PM: its set up at 45mph of about 10-12 yards...

we found some old poles and cut them down to about 1m high so the bowling machine is flat. then just away you go!

doesnot work from normal bowling machine hight

Title: Re: Training drills for the katchet
Post by: Liam-SCCC on February 20, 2012, 01:52:32 PM: Not sure if I could find some old poles anywhere.

For the catching, what speed do you have it set at? And do you use e 3oz balls for catching drills as they are easier on the hands?

Post by: Liam-SCCC on February 20, 2012, 01:57:58 PM: Ok, I'll think i'll try it with the box once April comes
Title: Re: Training drills for the katchet
Post by: Simmy on February 20, 2012, 01:59:27 PM: it was a bit hit and miss resting on the box tho because it would move when it was fired etc took some balancing as well, im not sure on the weight of the balls we use
the red 1's are heavy the yellow 1's are not
Title: Re: Training drills for the katchet
Post by: Liam-SCCC on February 20, 2012, 02:02:28 PM: Ok, we have red and yellow balls, all the same weight, then you can buy 3oz balls which are orange I think
