by Alan Rowley, 26th November 2007

A new cricket training bat is set to revolutionise the way cricketers practice. The Play in the V cricket bat is the revolutionary new way to improve your batting technique and score more runs. The Play in the V cricket bat is just 4cm wide and comes with two unique mini tennis balls. It is currently used by all ages and abilities of cricketer from beginners through to professionals.

The Play in the V cricket bat is a fun and safe way to develop your batting technique. The bat is designed to practise drills away from the nets and must be used with the mini tennis balls provided. Improvements can be seen in a matter of minutes. In particular this innovative bat helps any cricketer by:-

• improving hand / eye coordination
• training you to watch the ball right onto the bat
• ensuring you to play in the V (play straight)

The Play in the V cricket bat, and your own cricket coaching, is available to buy for just £29.99 - a small price to pay to practise like the professional cricketers and ultimately allow you to score more runs.

Play in the V cricket sets are available across the UK from most good cricket retailers. 

How the bat works

The Play in the V cricket bat is very easy to use and can be of tremendous benefit to all cricketers. The revolutionary coaching aid is a 4cm wide bat with two mini tennis balls that only just fit on the face of the bat. The 4cm bat also picks up at the same weight as your average full size bat.

The theory is that if a cricketer can constantly hit the tiny balls on the 4cm bat, when he returns to his normal width bat and normal cricket ball, it will be much easier.

Practice with the bat is so simple. You need someone to underarm or overarm the small tennis balls at you from approx 10 metres. All you do is try to drive the ball back where it came from. It may be difficult to start with and you may miss a few balls, but after a short while you will soon realise you are hitting more than you are missing - Improvements! 

The bat and mini balls were launched at the start of November 2007 and already cricket coaches around the UK are raving about it's benefits. The beauty is that whether it be a County Coach or an Under 7s Coach, they are all giving us the same feedback - the Play in the V cricket bat and ball improves batsmen.

Anthony McGrath , England Test and 1-day international cricketer, said: "I use the 'Play in the V cricket bat' regularly to make sure I am hitting the ball straight and to watch the ball more closely. It is a great device to use no matter what standard of cricketer you are or how old you are. It is something every cricketer should have if they are serious about improving their batting."
