Dear Sidearm™ , I thought you might like some feedback on the Sidearm™ Pro I bought from you.

Day 1: no idea at all how to get it working. Managed to hit the car and the house ! Thought I'd never get it.

Days 2-4: now managing to pitch the ball half way down the wicket. Practiced on the two labradors (not batting), just throwing the ball down the field to get the feel of it.

Day 5: after practicing 15 mins a day, I can now consistently hit a length at around 70mph. My son faced me last night for around 20 mins. He reckons it is more realistic than the bowling machine, because he has to adjust for every shot. Additionally, because we are using cricket balls (not bowling machine balls) there is more bounce, and a better strike off the bat.

As cricket suppliers, we would be interested in stocking and selling your product. I have just been using on and its brilliant.

Hi there, just wanted to drop you a line to say Wow! My friend and I took the Sidearm™ to our club today for a net session and it was brilliant. After about 6 balls we quickly mastered the technique required and both of us had about an hour each facing. We were able to practise and increase our confidence in 'weaker' areas and were kept on our toes by the odd 'suprise' ball. Much better than a net with 5 or 6 bowlers of varying pace and ability. This Sidearm™ is simply brilliant and I will be recommending it to our PE dept at school. Kind regards, Daren White, Assistant Principal, Maltings Academy, Witham, Essex.
