Top class straight through the window

But think he could see as no way could he switch hit and change from hitting a length ball to a full toss without seeing at least a little

That was @ a Club in Middlesex, or somewhere close.  Came across their website the other day, kicking myself now.

I think it could be genuine, because he will know how to judge ball speed,

I guess it's donein post editing, the camera cuts from the batsman to the sky and then the ball appears.

I know it seems fake in the way he takes off but KP won't do himself favours by faking things

It's a viral ad for the product. It's not genuine pal. Good editing though, until the ball miraculously speeds up in mid air Hahah

Defo viral vid, as mentioned its just use of camera angles/editing. uploaded by brylcreemuk so would expect that to hit a tv/website near you some time soon

Isn't the idea for them not to be pushed and rather found instead.

shots would have been possible, just not the ones that were huge!

He could have faced a bucket with the machine on that setting so he would know where the ball is going to be ball after ball. Meaning he can just throw everything at it.

I love doing that on the bowling machine! Setting it where you want and swinging through
