I attend Hitchin Boys' School in Hertfordshire where i am currently studying Design and Technology at A2 Level. I ahve a passion for cricket so I wanted to do a cricket related project. When using my club's wooden slips cradle this season I realised I was able to predict where the ball would go, therefore making the situation highly unrealistic. I decided to try and design an improved catching device which is less predictable, more realistic, recreating the game situation.

In order to redesign the slips cradle I need information from people who have used the current slips cradles and those who might use my product.

There are three existing products on the market designed to aid catching and specifically slips catching. Theses are listed below.
Crazy Catch
SportsMinded Slips Cradle
SpryCatcher

Any comments, ideas or any form of feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Yours sincerely
Andrew Hicks

If you would like to fill in a questionnaire about the current products and a prospective product or would like to offer me any feedback please email me.

Again, thank you very much for your time.
