SS Legend Hanging Ball for Cricket Bat Knocking and Practice with Reaction String, Threaded Seam

The ball is great, except it could be softer. I hit my head when it rebounded. The string could be better. The length of the string is good enough for almost all cases. I used the 8ft volleyball net to tie the string and hang the ball.

This is plastic/vinyl. Not real leather ball.

Maybe it's me but I thought this was a baseball hitting trainer on a string. Nowhere in the description does it say this is for cricket. Not in the Item Title nor the Item Description. Living in Phoenix, AZ we are do not have much exposure or access to cricket sports. I ended up still hanging it from one of our orange trees to see how it would work and the results were mixed. Hitting with an aluminum bat, it sprung off like a rubber ball and ended up high in the tree. We had to modify the exercise to focus on quick, light hits that target eye/hand coordination and ball striking. It does work in that respect and my 11 year old enjoys it enough to keep repeating it. I have noticed that his contact has markedly improved during our last batting practice efforts in the park which I have attributed to this item. I would rate the ball itself as high quality but the rope (more like a thick string) attachment would be only so/so. It works for now but I do see it wearing down in 6-12 months. The length of the rope was long enough to allow us to hang it at the right strike zone batting area so it fit him perfectly. The color is a vibrant red which does attract his hitting eye and helps him strike the ball. Installation was super easy with just a few knots and has not yet come loose nor does it show signs of doing so. I'd rate the durability of the ball as high because it shows no sign of degradation from being struck many times. However, he's not hitting it as hard as a baseball because it would get caught in the tree. The gentle repetitive swings are the training method we are using. I'd rate it high value for the money because it is under $10 and should provide many hours of valuable training which is better than those other methods on the market today. Marked lower at 3/5 stars only because I thought I was ordering a baseball swing trainer and we had to modify how we use it.

The product worked very well while it was intact. It is good for practice and helps with hand-eye coordination. However after three months the string broke and it wasn't usable anymore.

Good quality, the ball is plastic, not leather. Perfect for practicing, long enough string for hanging.

Good
