FAQs

1. Can the Zelos be used as a standard cricket bat for batting, or is it only for catching practice?

No. The Zelos is designed specifically as a coaching tool for catching practice rather than as a standard batting bat. Its shorter blade and reduced profile are optimised for single-handed catch delivery, making it unsuitable for match play or regular net batting.

2. Does the Zelos require any preparation, such as knocking-in, before it can be used?

No. As the Zelos is designed for catching practice rather than batting, it does not require the same knocking-in process as a traditional English willow cricket bat. It is ready to use straight out of the packaging for coaching and fielding drills.

3. How many Zelos bats are needed for a team catching practice session?

In most cases, a single Zelos bat is sufficient for a team catching session. The bat is designed as a coach-operated training tool that can be used to deliver both short- and long-range catches to multiple players in rotation.
