GM Spring Back Stumps (Iron Base)

About this item

The GM Spring Back Stumps combine durability with functionality, featuring a precision-engineered rebound system that returns stumps to upright position after being struck, allowing for continuous practice without manual resetting and enhancing training efficiency for individual or small-group sessions.

Key Features:

• Heavy-Duty Iron Base: Cast iron platform provides stability during intensive bowling sessions on various surfaces
  
• Quick-Reset Mechanism: Industrial-grade springs return stumps to upright position immediately after impact
  
• Regulation-Height Stumps: Full-size 28" stumps meet standard match specifications for authentic practice conditions
  
• Weather-Resistant Construction: Sealed hardwood stumps and powder-coated metal base withstand outdoor training environments
  
• Calibrated Spring Tension: Engineered to require realistic impact force for stumps to fall, simulating match conditions
  
• Non-Marking Base Design: Protective underside prevents damage to indoor training surfaces
  
• Transport-Ready Configuration: Detachable stumps for convenient transportation and storage between sessions

FAQs

Q: How does the GM Spring Back Stumps mechanism benefit different types of cricket training?
A: For bowlers, the automatic reset allows for continuous delivery practice without interruption, enabling higher training volume. Fielders benefit from direct-hit runout practice with instant feedback on accuracy. Wicketkeepers can perform stumping drills independently, with the stumps returning to position for consecutive attempts. The mechanism significantly increases training efficiency by eliminating the need for a second person to reset stumps after each delivery or throw. 

Q: What surfaces can GM Spring Back Stumps be used on effectively?
A: The 4.5kg iron base provides stability on most training surfaces. The stumps perform optimally on grass pitches, artificial turf, and concrete surfaces. On softer outfields or uneven ground, pressing the base slightly into the surface before use improves stability. For indoor nets with specialized flooring, the non-marking base design prevents damage. The stumps are not recommended for beach cricket or extremely soft surfaces where the base may sink. 

Q: Do GM Spring Back Stumps provide the same sound and feedback as regular stumps when struck?
A: The hardwood stumps produce authentic sound upon impact with the ball, closely replicating match conditions. However, due to the spring mechanism, the stumps require approximately 15-20% more force to dislodge compared to standard match stumps. This feature can actually benefit training by encouraging more precise and powerful bowling and throwing. For elite training requiring exact match simulation, adjusting aim for the lower third of the stumps will compensate for the additional resistance.

Q: What maintenance is required for longevity of the GM Spring Back Stumps mechanism and overall product?
A: After exposure to wet conditions, allow stumps to dry completely before storage to prevent warping. Apply light machine oil to the spring mechanism every 15-20 sessions to maintain smooth operation and prevent corrosion. Periodically check and tighten the stump-to-base fixtures as they may loosen with repeated impacts. Store in dry conditions and, if possible, detach stumps from the base during long-term storage to reduce tension on the springs. With proper maintenance, the mechanism typically remains effective for 3-5 seasons of regular use.
