Using your Sidearm in training sessions:
Batting
Sidearm offers high quality batting practice, allowing one person to provide a batsman with quick, accurate, swinging and seaming deliveries with little effort. Replicating all the rhythms and trajectories of a real bowler, Sidearm give the most effective batting practice possible.
Fielding Techniques
As well as opening up an entire new approach to batting practice, the Sidearm can also revolutionize fielding practice drills. Using the Sidearm ‘Pro’ a coach can throw massive skiers, accurately enough to pick out an individual player from at least 70 yards away. The Sidearm is a great way to boost your teams fielding and catching.
As well as big outfield skiers, air and ground fielding in the ring can also be vastly improved by use of the Sidearm. Flat 30 yard catches from the Sidearm can be thrown quickly and accurately, as can replicated ground strokes with more than enough pace to test ‘boundary riders’.
Wicket Keeping
Another problem often faced by coaches is how to give wicket keepers decent practice either in the nets or on the outfield. Bowlers don’t want to waste energy bowling at an empty wicket, and throw downs don’t have nearly as much carry as will be experienced in the match.
