The New 2016 BOLA Professional Bowling Machine
For 2016 the Professional Machine is fitted with "Brushless Motors" which replace the traditional Brushed Motors which have been used for the past 30 years. The advantages of the brushless motor are better efficiency and reliability, lighter weight, better build quality and longer working life. In practice that means the machine will run longer from a battery charge, is lighter to carry around and has better control response.
The new Professional Machine will still feature concave profile moulded urethane ball delivery wheels. Microprocessor based digital speed control with membrane switch panel.
Adjustable speed in increments between 15 and 95 mph. Spin, swing and pace bowling with 19 spin and swing settings.
Electronic random variation facility with solid state electronic wheel braking.
Ball joint complimented by vernier screw adjustment for precision line and length.
Operation from 12 volt battery or with optional BOLA Power Supply from 230v mains (or 110v if specified).
The New 2016 BOLA Junior Bowling Machine
Brand new from BOLA Manufacturing Limited the BOLA Junior brings the quality and design expertise of the BOLA brand to the junior cricket practice market providing tried and tested BOLA technology at an entry level price.
BOLA Junior has been designed to enable juniors to practice in the same way as their senior counterparts by bringing tireless accurate bowling for endless hours of batting practice and fun. Like the senior BOLA Machines the BOLA Junior has two ball throwing wheels for realistic bounce and swing.
Single wheel product designs (originally developed for Baseball where the ball doesnt bounce) are not able to do this.
The machine is light (8 kg), easy to carry and set up so can be operational in a few minutes.
Also available as a package to include ball auto feeder,12 bola balls battery and charging unit
BOLA 2014 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.
