I felt the need to have a topic about this wonderful piece of equipment which is increasingly dying out due to broken fingers and broken slats....





but seriously - how much fun is a really good slip cradle session!!

[RF]

We've got a fairly new one, they are great, provided you've got lads that can throw a bit

[jwebber86]

never used one but there are a couple of players at the club that keep mentioning them, unfortunately we never get enough people at training to any fielding practice

Ours died years ago and was replaced by those katchet boards and one of those crazy catch spring thingies

Love a good session on the slip cradle!! Will try to do 20 mins per training session during the summer

Was thinking about this last training session.

As much as the portable Katchet is fantastic, I do love the slips cradle! If I had to choose I know what I'd have!

We had two when I started, one wood and the other metal. Great fun but quite challenging too. The wood one rotted. We used the metal one for a few more years but people kept pelting the balls into the tubular ends and damaging the balls.

Then eventually some (No Swearing Please) stole it.

Now we just have a stupid plastic ramp that no one can hit. Only solution is one guy kneeling with a bag of balls and throwing into the Katchet board to 3-4 slips. Nowhere near as good as the caddle was.

Loadsa fun and a top training tool

We've got one. It's in pretty good nick as it's stored inside at all times when not being used. Gets a work out at least a couple of times a week during the season.
