Founded by Matt Root, father of professional cricketer brothers Joe and Billy, the R66T Academy strives to create more opportunities for young people to engage with the game.
Since its inception in 2018, the Academy has established partnerships with schools around the world and offered elite-level coaching to junior players in the UK, Europe, Australia, and the US.
R66T Academy products use the latest technology and innovations to make practice more fun and more effective – exactly the kind of gear Matt sought out when he was training Joe and Billy in their younger years.
R66T Academy Ball Feeder
Hone your batting skills to elite level with the R66T Academy Ball Feeder in Black, used and endorsed by England’s Joe Root and Glamorgan’s Billy Root.
How do the world’s top cricketers make shots with such consistency and precision? Practice, practice, practice. Used by England’s Joe Root and Glamorgan’s Billy Root, the R66T Academy Ball Feeder allows you to face ball after ball without the need for a bowling partner. Its cricket-specific design feeds eight deliveries in succession – with an eight-second pause between each ball – then you simply refill the ball chamber and go again. Battery or mains-operated, the highly portable machine is perfect for solo practice in nets, in the middle, or in your back garden. And if you ever fancy a break from batting, it’s ideal for fielding practice too – a true all-rounder.
