Why one should not use bowling machine?

There are a few very important complaints about Bowling Machines..

1) Senior players and  expert coaches are against extensive practice with Bowling Machines.

Any good Bowling Machine available in the market can spin and swing the ball both the ways.

All these Bowling Machines are useful if anyone wants to practice one type of delivery for some time.There are no quick line/ length change and  quick swing/ spin changing features available with these Bowling Machines.(Although some Bowling Machines claim to have vernier adjustments to change the line and length of the ball, it is difficult to maneuver the adjustments as it will take a lot of time. While playing with these machines batsman can guess what type of delivery he is going to face).

Bowling Machines are forcing the batsman to play the same/similar ball repeatedly without any challenge. This kind of practice might be useful in the initial stages to correct the weaknesses of a batsman, but becomes routine and predictable over a period of time.

These machines are conditioning the mindset of the batsman, where the batsman tends to expect the same or similar delivery again and again.That psychological rhythm will be carried to the real match, where no bowler will bowl same deliveries at him. This is big cause of worry to the Coach and experienced batsmen.

2) Bowling Machine cannot simulate all types of deliveries a human bowler can bowl?

A bowling Machine may simulate the swing, speed or swing of any bowler, but it can not change the trajectories.

For example…an in-swinging delivery at a speed of 140 kmph bowled by Shoiab Akthar  is different from the in-swinging delivery of the same speed bowled by Ishanth Sharma or Brett Lee or any other bowler. No two bowlers can bowl exactly the same ball.

This is because of their height and style of bowling. Their ball delivering trajectories differs from one another.

All the Bowling Machines are fixed to a stand. Thus the trajectory produced for spin and swing or for any ball simulated by the Bowling Machine is same.

So, one can say that a Bowling Machine cannot simulate all types of deliveries.

3) Bowling Machine does not have “Human Touch”?

Once Rahul Dravid said…“A batsman cannot read the body language of a Bowling Machine, as he usually does it with a bowler. It’s a kind of a sixth sense or instinct, which tells the batsman, which type of ball the bowler is going to bowl”.

Its quite evident that a Bowling Machine can never be a substitute to the human bowlers.

Leverage Cricket Bowling Machines overcame the peristent limitations, which were a cause of worry for the batsman and a coach for over a period of years.

Leverage Bowling Machines have reduced the gap considerably between Human bowlers and Bowling Machines as they were designed from the perspective of the coach and a batsman.

1.The 6 BUTTON FEATURE:

6 Button Feature is a break through technology in the history of Cricket Bowling Machines.

• With a press of a button line or length can be adjusted without the knowledge of the batsman.
• Batsman will have choice of playing random line and length or one particular line and length.
• This feature makes the batsman feel that he is playing with a real bowler.

2.VARIABLE TRAJECTORY:

• The trajectory of every bowler varies according to their height and style.
• If the Bowling Machine is fixed to a stand the variations produced by the Bowling Machine is restricted to a certain height.
• The 6 button feature is provided in Leverage Cricket Bowling Machine,which helps in changing the height of the delivery point from 3.5ft to 7.5 ft.
• This feature enables the batsman to play the deliveries of variable trajectories.

• A bowler always tries to out play a batsman by bowling different swings and speeds. Only Leverage Cricket Bowling Machine can bowl the same way.
• Quick-swap feature can change one swing/spin/speed to any other immediately.
• The batsman will get an opportunity to play in-swing and out-swing at variable speeds at a random.
• It gives a real match feel to the batsman.

Leverage Bowling Machine closer to real time bowler?

YES!!!

Like a bowler, it can change line and length, speed and swing.

It simulates all bowlers, as it can bowl almost all varieties of deliveries with different trajectories.

It takes the burden of a team of bowlers at once and can bowl continuously for hours.

It can be adjusted to suit any level of cricket bowling. It works as a ten year old bowler who bowls “Lolly pops” or it can transform into Wasim Akram or Shane Warne firing their deliveries at the batsman.

Any level of batsman can enjoy or learn by playing with Leverage Bowling Machine.

We claim our Bowling Machines are best compared to other Ball Throwing Machines. You will say the same once you use it.

We would also confess that, Leverage Bowling Machine is not a human and a batsman cannot read it’s body language.

It is advisable for every batsman to take it as an opportunity to prepare himself, and should get ready to face unknown/ unexpected deliveries. Once he gets used to it, without reading human body language or pitch conditions he can play well under any circumstances.
