SG TARGET Stumps

About this item

The SG TARGET Stump provides essential feedback for bowlers developing accuracy. This specialized training aid improves precision through instant auditory confirmation when the correct line is achieved. The durable construction withstands thousands of deliveries while the spring-loaded mechanism resets automatically, making it ideal for solo practice sessions or team training drills.

Key characteristics:

• Spring-loaded single stump with satisfying "click" feedback mechanism
  
• Heavy metal base plate ensures stability during intense bowling sessions
  
• Regulation height matches standard cricket stumps for realistic training
  
• No assembly required - ready to use straight out of the box
  
• Weather-resistant construction suitable for outdoor net practice
  
• Works effectively on various surfaces including grass and artificial turf
  
• Durable spring mechanism designed for thousands of impacts
  
• Red colored top portion increases visibility for targeting
  
• Compact design for easy transport to training sessions
  
• Helps bowlers develop muscle memory for hitting the top of off stump 

FAQs

Q: How does SG TARGET Stumps compare to using a full set of stumps for practice?
A: The SG TARGET Stump offers several advantages over a full set for bowling practice. The audible feedback mechanism provides immediate confirmation of accuracy that standard stumps cannot, while the spring-loaded design eliminates the need to reset after successful hits. This allows for more efficient solo practice, though bowlers should still regularly train with full wickets to maintain familiarity with match conditions.

Q: Will this work effectively on concrete or indoor surfaces?
A: The heavy metal base plate is designed primarily for grass and artificial turf surfaces where some minimal ground penetration helps with stability. While it can be used on harder surfaces like concrete or indoor floors, additional stability measures may be needed, such as sandbags around the base for high-pace bowling. For indoor use on hard surfaces, placing the unit on a thin rubber mat is recommended.

Q: Is this suitable for junior bowlers or only for adults?
A: The SG TARGET Stump is suitable for cricketers aged 10 and above. The regulation height makes it appropriate for both junior and senior players developing their bowling accuracy. For very young bowlers (under 10), the weight and height may present challenges, and a junior-specific target stump would be more appropriate. The standard dimensions are particularly valuable for youth players transitioning to adult cricket.

Q: How loud is the "click" feedback, and can it be heard at full run-up distance?
A: The audible "click" mechanism produces sound at approximately 65-70 decibels, which is clearly audible to the bowler from a full run-up distance of 15-20 meters in most conditions. In particularly noisy environments or very windy conditions, the sound may be less distinct. The visual feedback of the stump movement provides additional confirmation of accuracy when auditory feedback is less optimal.
