Troubleshooting
Wicket won't stand up straight.
Ensure the ground pegs are firmly inserted into the ground. Check the surface for any unevenness and adjust the placement of the wicket accordingly.
Bat is too light and difficult to hit the ball with.
Make sure the child is holding the bat correctly and is positioned properly. Practice swinging techniques to improve their batting.
Carry bag tears or rips.
Avoid overfilling the carry bag and ensure sharp objects are not stored inside. If the bag tears, consider using tape or stitching for minor repairs. Contact customer service for significant damage.
