Katchet. The original and the best catching device, used by the best Cricket players and coaches in the world. The newly released Katchet has only minor changes. Thicker, sturdier ribs give a more robust feel but also add pace and bounce to the ball. 

• Katchet is practical and portable, and constantly challenges cricketers of all ages and abilities.
• Suitable for use with soft or hard balls, Katchet will provide situation-specific training for all fielding positions.
• Katchet mirrors random deflections encountered when the ball deviates after hitting the bat or wicket.
• From the school playing field to the test arena, Katchet improves catching ability, technique, reflexes and fielding enjoyment.
• Katchet has been designed to deflect the ball in an unpredictable yet realistic fashion.
• Katchet uses a weatherproof, impact-resistant polypropylene surface, which provides outstanding speed transference and durability.
• The textured surface and precisely engineered angle of Katchet enable the thrower to produce bounce and pace for the catcher with minimum effort.
• Katchet is a valued practice tool for International Cricket teams around the world.

JOHN BUCHANAN
Former coach, the Australian Cricket Team

To Colin Smith and his team, who have produced "Katchet" fielding boards - you have brought the old slips cradle back into vogue with a much more portable and effective device. I was first introduced to the device during our recent ashes tour. Since that time, we have used the boards extensively with the Australian Cricket Team.
We have been able to use these on all surfaces and have found them to work well anywhere. The players have responded very well to the drills we use.
As a coach who is on the road for many months of the year, the "Katchet" cricket board is a welcome addition as it is light, durable and easily transportable.
I believe it will be a welcome addition to any team or club's coaching equipment.

Please note sometimes this product may have a slight variation in the design, actual product may vary from the images.
