2025 Professional introduces new ePaper display

The BOLA Professional Bowling Machine has been at the forefront of sports technology since it first appeared on the cricketing scene in 1984.

The original conceptual brief to provide accurate and consistent batting practice for cricketers of all standards and abilities is still very much alive and evolutionary development for over thirty years has made the newest machines better than ever.

This is particularly true for the 2025 Professional Machine which introduces a completely new Control Panel with ePaper high resolution display. This allows for an expanded display with enhanced functionality and multiple user-definable options.

The new display will show speeds in kph or mph, a session ball count, a session timer, and features a user selectable random increment function for competitive practice sessions.

The new BOLA Professional also features brushless motors which drive concave profile moulded urethane ball delivery wheels. These allow for adjustable speeds in 1 mph increments between 15 and 95 mph (24 and 152 kph); spin, swing and pace bowling with 19 spin and swing settings.

BOLA 5oz Practice Balls – Polyurethane practice balls in red or yellow with soft case to protect bats from damage. Dimpled like a golf ball for stable flight. These give the best accuracy and realistic bounce. Yellow balls for better visibility indoors. Red for realism.
BOLA 3oz ‘Orange’ Practice Balls – The Orange ball is designed to give higher bounce to enable players to practice back foot shots at reduced ball speeds. Players can play hooks and pulls safe in the knowledge that the softer ball will not cause injury. Also used for junior age groups to provide bounce when the BOLA is on it’s shorter legs.

The extra bounce is useful for re-creating different batting conditions (such as a fast pitches) so that batters can gain experience of multifarious wickets and Orange balls are also increasingly popular with coaches for throw downs.
