Title: What size cricket ball to use?
Post by: kavi on March 15, 2010, 10:52:59 PM: Is there a specific age from when you move on from the youth size ball to the mens one?
The probelm is with a mens size ball i lose my acuracy (spinner), but with a youth sized one i'm fine.
I've got a course with T. Jenner and so don't want to go around bowling wides.
I turned 15 a month ago.

Any answers would be great!

Seeing as your 15 he might not expect you to use a senior ball might be worth checking with the organiser?

If you are 2 use a senior just get out there and practice, practice, practice.

You a leggy then Kavi?

The mens one just slides out of my hand....

I'm a leggy, I didn't pay that much....cost the same as a normal custom bat... I must be very promising then :D

Always keep my balls in good condition :D

Post by: Washington on March 15, 2010, 11:05:07 PM: yeah Colesy a bit of Lombardi always seems to focus the mind . . . or is that Lambrini!

As a leggy you wont tend to use a new ball so try and get a quite used senior ball
