The StingerX fires deliveries that will test the most experienced batsman as well as having the means to build confidence and practice and learn new batting techniques for the younger or less experienced batsmen.

Delivery Variation

 The brand-new adapted tripod makes it possible for the machine to vary the line and length of delivery with minimal effort. The stinger can extend to a height of 6 foot or be lowered to around knee height for fielding drills, it has a fully adjustable speed settings from 1 to 70+mph (Speed is Dependent on which ball you are using, swing on the ball is made possible via individual control of the drive wheels via speed dials

 Suitable Balls

 The Stinger can fire a number of different balls (see photo below for some examples) but the ball has to be junior sized and you must be able to squeeze it between your fingers (no Hard Balls) 

Recommended Balls

 GM First Ball: A ball that is harder than a tennis ball with a small protruding seam that produces a realistic bounce and when the conditions are right the ball will produce realistic lateral movement, the top speed of this ball has been recorded at 65mph @ £3.00 each

Tennis Ball: The bounciest ball the stinger will fire that is ideal for practising the short-pitched delivery or simulating playing on a bouncy wicket @ £1.50 each.

New Stinger Ball: The newly sourced stinger ball is slightly larger than a tennis ball and is dimpled, it is still a soft ball but fires at around 70 mph+ it is not as consistent in line and length as the above balls, but it keeps you on your toes. This ball sells at £5.00 each.

 These types of balls are the nearest comparison you will get to the hard balls that the top of the range bowling machines use but without the high cost of the machine and balls, as a cricketer myself I know it’s great to feel leather on willow but these balls still simulate very realistic batting conditions, helping with hand to eye coordination and concentration as well as the means to practice all batting stroke play.  

Automatic Feeder

 The Feeder holds 10 balls and is turned on & off via a wireless remote, once activated the balls come out every 6-9 seconds  [dependant on the type of ball] the feeder can also be stopped at anytime via the wireless remote   

 Who will benefit from using a StingerX?

Junior Cricketers:  A great tool for the beginner to build up confidence of practicing and learning new batting shots as well as refining fielding skills.

Adult Cricketers:  Dependent of on the batsmen's skill level the stinger can be placed at 22 yards or closer, and with the variation from the balls it will keep any batsmen on their toes, or it can be set to practicing a desired stoke that the batsmen may feel requires attention.

Suitable for use in any sized garden or large outbuilding as well as full sized cricket nets
