I agree, the product isn't that different. But when you consider the guy has had to set up a company, website, patent application, design, produce (with much smaller numbers than pets at home i presume), ship (import tax), package, plus tax on top, a lot of that �30 is wittled away.
I've got nothing to do with the sidearm, its just an observation.

the real question is: "how much are the dog throwing devices and, if they are cheaper, can the be used with a cricket ball?"
Based on this you can decide whether to shell out for one of the side arm devices.

I'm sure that if the dog version can do the trick, then the bloke who is selling this wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to develop it.

A colt at my club has his mum come down and throw tennis balls to him in the nets with one of the dog toys versions

it says on there website they are both �29.38 but im not entirely sure that that is accurate?
surely the pro would cost more :L

it might not simply because the pro is harder to use than the club, it can do more but you need to be stronger and have a bit more skill, its not just that the pro is better if that makes sense

Ive spoke to the bloke who came up with this and patented them and he was walking about how he wanted to provide and affordable coaching aid!!!! they wont be ridiculous prices.

Gone on sale today with the club at �20.99 and the pro at 24.99.

Dont think the prices are that bad tbh, but cant see why anyone wouldnt pay the extra �4 for the pro though!

Can see myself getting a pro

alexrickyponting · « **Reply #24 on:** August 09, 2010, 01:28:14 PM »

well i think the main difference is that it seems to be harder to use the pro, not just that its better

anthonyant · « **Reply #25 on:** August 09, 2010, 01:40:39 PM »

i think the club are going to invest in one too roco! just a tad bit cheaper than a bowling machine!

harrystokoe · « **Reply #26 on:** August 09, 2010, 01:42:55 PM »

�20.99 for club and �25.99 seems quite reasonable!

roco · « **Reply #27 on:** August 09, 2010, 01:47:35 PM »

Looks like the pro is easier to use but at 60mph max ish speed not really match practice so better off taking the time to master the pro me thinks

had a look at the video and he I reckon he has to put quite a lot into it- do you really think it requires less effort than throw downs? Prob more accurate though.

I emailed him and asked if there was a try before you buy option, that included return postage.

He Still hasn't got back to me though

I'm not surprised, I'd laugh and delete the email
