Title: Net ball recommendations?
Post by: beaver5 on January 26, 2014, 10:43:54 PM
My village team are looking for fairly cheap balls to use in the indoor nets. Can anyone recommend any about £5-7 which won't brake your bat or fall apart too quickly after being pummelled into the wall repeatedly? Have looked at the readers club balls far about £5. Are these any good or best avoided?

Anything that cheap will be rubbish bud. If it's indoor I don't get why more don't use a proper indoor ball. They react more realistically indoors like a normal ball would outdoors and you won't break a bat

We stock Readers, CA and our own Uzi sports ball, all available on our web site, our falcon balls are ideal for 20 overs or net ball, definitely not bat breaker. If u need any further info, plz email or pm

However they are useless for bowlers, being much lighter and horribly swingy.

Old ones aren't swingy, but I concede that they don't feel like a real ball. It is more realistic though  and stops bowlers just bowling short all the time as suddenly they can rush you :( (yes, unfortunately most bowlers I know do this and can't help it)

Not sure we would want to use indoor balls to be honest. What have other people used that they would recommend?

If you can stretch you budget a small bit, the shamrock club balls are great value. They are made to the same spec as most £16-18 balls. I could work out a good deal on them for you aswell
