As cricket season in the UK transitions into winter, finding suitable indoor training facilities can be a challenge. The 2G Flicx Pitch has emerged as a versatile solution, providing numerous advantages for both indoor and outdoor training sessions.
- Versatility:
The 2G Flicx Pitch excels in adaptability, making it ideal for indoor nets during winter and the same pitch offering multi surface solutions for outdoor matches and training in the summer. Its unique portable, roll out design allows for seamless transition, ensuring players can train effectively in multiple venues, regardless of the season.
- Enhanced Performance:
Compared to traditional synthetic mats, the 2G Flicx Pitch offers improved pace and bounce. The Flicx Pitches stable surface eliminates mat movement (and you don’t get ends permanently curling), providing consistent performance that mirrors natural playing conditions. This means players of all ages and skill levels can benefit from more realistic training sessions with seam and spin on offer for bowlers.
- Practical Logistics:
One full pitch is supplied in two batting ends and these easily clip and zip together in a matter of minutes to form a full pitch. If the application is as a batting end only, Flicx offer 10m lengths supplied with a trolley for ease of movement. Its compact storage option ensures it doesn’t occupy much space when not in use. Quick roll-out and roll-up capabilities make setup a breeze, eliminating logistical headaches.
- Skill Enhancement:
The 2G Flicx Skill and Eagle-Eyed Pitches feature color-coded coaching zones, enhancing bowling accuracy and skill development. Batters can utilise these targets to refine their judgment of line and length, ultimately improving decision-making on the field.
- Cost Efficiency:
This cricket pitch boasts an impressive lifespan, significantly outlasting traditional synthetic mats. While other mats may require replacement every season or two, the 2G Flicx Pitch offers a long-term, cost-effective, highly versatile solution.
