Improve Your Cricketing Skills with Flicx Cricket Pitches


Flicx Cricket Pitches are gaining popularity among the cricket playing fraternity, as they have exceeded the expectations of all cricketers by providing the best performance. Budding batsmen found it very convenient to practice as it allows versatile front foot play. In ordinary synthetic pitches, young bowlers always find it hard to control the bounce of the ball and it often travels at the shoulder or head height of the batsman. In the case of Flicx, ball bounces truly to the delight of both the bowler and the batsman. From under 12 cricketers, all the players up to the senior level applaud the performance of this pitch and all of them relish practicing on it.

It is available in different sizes to suit different needs of players. Already many clubs are using it for providing training to their players and for conducting
