Just saw this on Twitter. Just looks like a glorified ball and socks...might be a good idea though.

I think that's a great idea. Will definitely help batters get ready before heading on to the pitch. Could even have it for practising at home.

I want one! Glorified ball in a sock or not I think it's a good idea.
Actually, I have a golf practice net somewhere, I could put a ball on a bit of string and make some sort of DIY version if I can find the time
-
Dont get me wrong it's a great idea...I just think it's something we or our club can do for ourselves and it's virtually inexpensive, rather than buying one.

Cross between Swing ball and Cricket, 2 great games.
-
Any idea where they can be bought from and the price?
-
Looks great

Can't see it myself. Would have to be cheap or have more money than sense. I could imagine using it once. Cricket ball on a piece of rope = cheaper, more versatile, more mobile, more useful and you don't need a room or another big bag to store it.
If you were desperate for indoor solo fun, how about this:

That is a option but you would have to keep 'teeing' up the ball every shot and it wont move around like a ball on a string does.
I am looking for something i can use in the garden - not got a garage or basement - and need to be able to pack away when not in use. The Puma aid looks like a good option rather than rigging up a home made system - key thing as you say is how much it will retail at.
-
Did anyone buy one of these?
-
We are stocking them, not the cheapest at $250 but have sold well. The side netting is the best feature, much easier to use than a ball on a string than can loop over the top or bang into the carport roof.

I've watched the you tube vids, looks a cool training aid
Would be good to build/ exercise cricket specific muscles
