The 2012 'Merlyn by BOLA' Spin Bowling Machine

The ‘Merlyn by BOLA’ spin bowling machine – which was developed by Stuart & Williams (BOLA) in conjunction with the England and Wales Cricket Board – was greeted with praise and enthusiasm by professional players and coaches alike when it first went on sale last year. The ECB were searching for a means to extend the experience of first-class players against top class spin bowling and after receiving a design proposal and viewing a mechanical prototype twenty machines were ordered which are currently in use at every first class county, the England test squad and the ECB Academy.‘Merlyn by BOLA’ provides the coach with the flexibility to deliver any combination of leg-breaks, off-breaks, top spinners and arm balls that he or she requires. The ‘easy to use’ switch panel allows complete control of line, speed, flight and the amount of top spin and side spin imparted to each delivery. The machine can be programmed to deliver any 'over' the coach can conceive. More...

BOLA 2012 Fielding Trainer with Gimballed Turntable

BOLA Hockey Ball Machine mounted on a gimballed swivelling turntable. Instant adjustment of direction and elevation. Designed for Hockey goalkeeper training the turntable is excellent for a wide range of Cricket fielding and catching exercises. Availlable with extended legs.

Fielding Turntables are sold as a unit with a BOLA Hockey Machine. This is because the dimpled plastic balls (used by the Cricket Bowling Machines)are not particularly well suited to catching practices – they are very hard on the hands - and fielding drills are more effective with cricket balls. The Hockey Machine has rubber based ball throwing wheels which are more efficient when working with leather cricket balls. In addition to this, it is necessary to remove all the Ball Joint / Tripod assembly to fit the machine to the Turntable so it makes switching between batting and fielding with a Cricket Bowling Machine impractical.

Practice Balls

BOLA 5oz Practice Balls. Polyurethane practice balls in red or yellow with soft case to protect bats from damage. Dimpled like a golf ball for stable flight. These give the best accuracy and realistic bounce. Yellow balls for better visibility indoors. Red for realism.

The accuracy of your BOLA machine is affected by the condition and consistency of the balls that you use. Do not mix new balls with old ones as the best accuracy is obtained by keeping balls in batches so they are all at the same stage of useable life. If you are using balls which have lost their dimples, they should be replaced. Why not treat your club to some new BOLA practice balls!!!

BOLA 3oz 'Orange' Practice Balls. The Orange ball is designed to give higher bounce to enable players to practice back foot shots at reduced ball speeds. Players can play hooks and pulls safe in the knowledge that the softer ball will not cause injury. Also used for junior age groups to provide bounce when the BOLA is on it's shorter legs.

The extra bounce is useful for re-creating different batting conditions (such as a fast pitches) so that batters can gain experience of multifarious wickets and Orange balls are also increasingly popular with coaches for throw downs.

Mark Davis, Cricket Professional at Millfield School, employs Orange balls for spin sessions. "The Orange balls imitate a spinner bowling on a quick, hard wicket. The balls bounce higher and, on a good length, are more difficult to play. They are particularly useful for developing the sweep stroke because the extra bounce requires the player to get right on top of the ball without fear of being hurt. They are also excellent for coach safety!"
