About this product
Light Tennis Cricket Ball – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.
This is the light grade of tennis ball for cricket, in yellow – the ball to start children on.
The reason to choose light over heavy is not only safety, though it is safer. It is time. A heavy ball travels fast, and a child who cannot get the bat to it in time simply misses, over and over, and stops enjoying the game. A light ball comes through slowly enough for them to watch it onto the bat and actually hit it – and a child who hits the ball comes back tomorrow.
It is also much kinder on impact. A ball that hurts teaches a child to flinch and pull away from the line, which is a habit that takes years to undo and limits them permanently. The whole reason soft and light balls exist in junior cricket is to prevent exactly that.
For indoor use it is the only sensible choice – light enough for a hall, a corridor or a garden without putting anything through a window.
Be aware of what it is not. It will not carry off the bat for an adult, it will not bounce properly on grass, and any breeze moves it. For teenagers and adults on a hard surface, the heavy grade is the right ball.
Yellow is the more visible colour in most conditions, which matters when the players are small and the light is going.
