Sidearm Elite Pro - Improved Ball Thrower

Sidearm Ball Throwers have revolutionised cricket training at every level of the game. Used by professional coaches, clubs, schools, and backyard cricketers alike, the Sidearm is designed to make throwdowns faster, more consistent, and far less physically demanding on the thrower. With the ability to generate impressive pace, natural swing, seam movement, bounce variation, and even spin, Sidearms allow batters to face realistic match-style deliveries without requiring a full bowling run-up. Coaches, parents, and teammates can deliver hundreds of quality balls in a session while reducing the strain and fatigue commonly caused by repetitive throwing. Perfect for batting practice, reflex drills, wicketkeeping sessions, and game simulation training, Sidearms help players sharpen reaction times, improve shot selection, and build confidence against faster bowling. They are ideal for both junior development and advanced senior training, offering a safe and effective way to maximise net sessions. Whether you’re practising front-foot drives, pull shots, defensive technique, or simply increasing the intensity of training, the Sidearm is one of the most effective cricket coaching tools available today. Sidearm Tips: • Start with smooth, controlled motions before building up speed • Vary your release point to create swing and different bounce angles • Use wrist position to generate seam movement and spin variations • Mix up delivery lengths to simulate real match situations • Gradually increase pace as players become more comfortable • Aim for consistent line and length to improve batting rhythm • Use different coloured balls for reaction and vision training drills • Always use in an open space and ensure players are ready before releasing the ball
