Paceman Bowling Machine
« on: May 08, 2013, 11:13:08 PM »
Just thought i would announce we now have the Paceman in stock, along with a demo model set up in our net.

I'll get a video review done and posted here tomorrow.

The machine is available from us for £375 with free delivery.

The machine comes with an automatic feed, and 13 of the special lightweight balls.

Do you know why these are so expensive in the UK? They only cost $350 in Australia.

If we get over next week, do you have one we could look at? Reading it says its max is 60mph, haven't got a clue what we face locally but some reviews have said its only good for junior cricket! What's your view on machine?

Just move the machine closer to make the machine seem quicker. Ok, it wont be perfect butnit gets the reactions going.

We have a demo model instore yes. I am not sure what the top speed is as the dial to increase speed is on a scale of 1-10 rather than in mph like a BOLA.

It is a great tool for junior practice, it can be useful for adults too, especially as a safer way to practice the short delivery, as the balls don't hurt, even at high speed.
