Have not measured the pace but very sharp with the bowling technique I would think quicker than 70mph but can't be sure

"Very Sharp" is quick enough for me. I think one of these will be on my christmas list.

Thanks roco.

Just make sure you get the pro version as is worth it

In my opinion, the pro is quick enough to need to sightscreen/or some white background

That's cheating can't make it easy ( unless I'm batting )

Have you seen the Gooch vids on their website. He is soo pro and makes it look easy
I love all the different variations hes got...

I am really hoping that with a bit of practice batting against the sidearm, it will help push me up the order a bit. :)

I enjoy facing the quicker deliveries from the sidearm, although my cousin's got a pretty consistent line with it, it's far too wide for me to bother chasing and my brother's technique when using it is awful.

Looks like an awesome training aid.

Does anybody know what the differences between to the two models are? Besides the pricing and colour of course!

Been two months + since the last post, how is everybody getting on with it? Has it helped you improve any areas in particular?

The great thing in hitting is, not to be half-hearted about it; but when you make up your mind to hit, to do it as if the whole match depended upon that particular stroke.

I think the club handles a speed up to 50/60mph, the pro goes to 80/90 mph, I think the pro offers more swing than the club,

The pro one's stiffer, so it can get up to 80mph.

I asked my auntie for one of these for christmas and wanted the pro one. Went round there the other night it was there. Too my disappointment it's the club version, not to sound ungrateful but I might send it back and get the pro one after Christmas
