Title: "Katchet"
Post by: tbarnfield99 on January 21, 2011, 12:38:03 PM

Just wondering if anyone has used this product much. I have seen the videos on their website and it seems to be a great product for keepers and slip fielders. Also if you have bought the product how many did you buy? The reason I ask is because some of the videos show them using 4 at a time, presumably for a larger surface area to throw at, but also if you see the point fielding exercise, it allows catches and ground fielding.

Thanks

We've been looking at some of these for our club. Looks like a good way to get fielding practice in in a controlled fashion.

We have got a few at our club, they are good for slip and wicket keeping practice and overall a good laugh

i use them alot for coaching keepers brilliant practice improve there standing up skills drastically but for slip catching and standing back it is esier with 2-3 but can be done with 1

used for one to one training last year, (keeper) standing back used two, standing up practice varied between one and two.

prefer them too the cradle tbh, just find them more realistic and with the cradle i find myself reading the cradle and knowing where too move to catch the ball. Katchets cant really be "read" and so in my opinion are more realistic.

Think I'll probably get a couple for the club within the next few weeks. Is there anyone on here who could do a half decent deal, and I would be happy to part with my cash with someone on here rather than a nobody.

Cheers
