Frequently Asked Questions

The Cloud Catcher is a coaching and training tool, not a match bat. It has a high-density foam face designed to launch a cricket ball high into the air for catching practice. It is not used for batting against a bowler and is not suitable for match play.
The Cloud Catcher works with standard cricket balls — both leather and synthetic. The HD foam face is designed to launch the ball high even on mistimed strikes, so you don't need to be a skilled batter to send it to a useful height for catching practice.
No — that's the point. The foam face is highly receptive and will send the ball high even if you don't catch it perfectly. Coaches of any ability or strength can use it for extended sessions without tiring, making it far more practical than using a regular bat.
Yes — the Cloud Catcher is widely used in school cricket and junior academies. Coaches can control the height and distance of the ball easily, making it ideal for progressive catching drills with younger players.
