2023 ‘Merlyn by BOLA’ Spin Bowling Machine
Used by every first class county
Product details
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.
