Where can I get this?
« on: November 20, 2010, 05:45:38 PM »
Was at nets today and a coach in the other net has this device which allowed him to fling the ball, ie bowl. It was a plasticy poll thing with a cup at the end of it for the ball. Does anyone know what this is or where I could get one?

Well they're used by England batting coach Graham Gooch, so they can't be bad......

Yeah I have- great idea, not that easy to face, however it's quite hard to control at good pace if you're the feeder..

So you can't slow the speed up to prevent it being near 80mph?

yeah you can do it however fast you want, but (No Swearing Please) scary when someone just picks it up not used it before and it could be at your head with or without bouncing and they dont mean it!

Is it different to the pet thing, or could you use one of those?

I might have used the pet one (hence I was so rubbish...)- it wouldn't be £21 for nothing, must have some special technology or something..

Yeah its different to pet things, i've tried a pet one and its not as good, quick or accurate, mainly because it doesnt fit a ball in well and doesnt release the same every time, but i did buy a crappy £1 one!!
