Four reasons why the R66T Academy Ball Feeder is the perfect training aid
Posted on 22nd November 2023 at 09:00
The R66T Academy Ball Feeder is a fantastic piece of kit for training on the go! Used in training sessions by England cricketer, Joe Root, and Glamorgan cricketer, Billy Root, the Ball Feeder releases one delivery every eight seconds to ensure you’re fully set to practise a range of different batting shots or catching drills.
It comes fully equipped with eight practice balls, and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. In addition to this, extra spirals are available to purchase - which can be added onto the Ball Feeder. Each spiral holds a further seven practice balls (sold separately in packs of 12) and we'd recommend adding up to two extra spirals for those longer practice sessions.
Moreover, the multi-use training aid operates with either batteries or a power cord with a UK plug (compatible with US/EU/AU adaptors) - so you don't need to worry about running out of battery during a session!
The Ball Feeder has been incredibly popular with cricketers round the globe since its release, and caters for players of all abilities and ages. So, with that in mind, here's four reasons why the R66T Academy Ball Feeder is the ideal training aid...
Lightweight and portable
The R66T Academy Ball Feeder is a lightweight, portable and enjoyable training aid! It weighs just 3kg - including packaging - and is easy to set-up and pack down. When you're packing your cricket bag before a training session, the last thing you want to be doing is carrying a heavy training aid to the pitch or indoor nets!
Outdoor and indoor use
It is designed to be used for both indoor and outdoor training sessions. Nowadays, cricket is a 12-month sport, meaning players need to be comfortable playing on grass and inside a sports hall. The Ball Feeder works for both - and will allow cricketers to keep practising regardless of the weather outside.
Consistent and accurate feeding action
The consistent and accurate feeding action of the machine allows you to focus on improving and building a technique to score all-round the ground. You might, for example, be predominantly an off-side batter, so the Ball Feeder will help you better your chances of scoring runs on the leg-side. Alternatively, it is also great for fielding practice, and can also be used to replicate caught and bowled scenarios.
Improves hand-eye coordination and footwork
If your hand-eye coordination needs improving, or your footwork is a bit slow, the Ball Feeder is the training aid for you! The machine's design forces you to work on both of those traits, which are crucial if you are wanting to become a successful cricketer.
