Post by: mcgill123 on February 01, 2016, 06:40:37 PM: In all seriousness, you seemed to connect more with the reverse ramp, do you think it may be a grip problem when trying the normal ramp?.
I've never really had a good go at it and by the looks of it you had the machine up to full beans?, takes a lot of nerves to attempt the shot.

In all seriousness? Nothing about my cricket is serious. Lol. I want to have fun.

Speed was between 70 and 74(as edited from different baskets).

I can connect with the normal ramp on occasion, I just happens to go in this net when the natural variation of a bola followed me.
Hence taking one to the right armpit!! Stung a little.

Proof I have connected once......

Post by: brokenbat on February 02, 2016, 04:14:05 AM: whats the point of 2 lb 14 oz bats if you're just using them as a ramp? straight back over the bowler's head mate! let us lesser mortals / weaklings worry about the dinky stuff ;)

Back leg to off rather than being in the regulation sweep position

Post by: smilley792 on February 02, 2016, 08:25:07 PM: Anyway. I eagerly await a video showing the next muppet to attempt this.

Or am I the only muppet here?
Title: Re: If at first you don't succeed.....
Post by: Woodyspin on February 02, 2016, 08:26:19 PM: Very good, yes i find playing this shot is less of a risk to yourself then the dilscoop, also its easier to adjust

I had a helmet on doing it was but you can't see zip from the helmet camera so never put it up.

You can see in the video the camera is on my head.
