Go onto their website. There's a good video with Goochy with tips on how to use.

I've been trying mine in the garden today, 3 into the ground 5ft in front of me and one over the fence. I was seriously lucky I didn't damage something or someone. Completely agree espocrespo, it's harder than it looks.

Practice in nets is best after a little time it is easy you can even do slower balls and control in and out swing I find it brilliant

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.
