Hoping we have some cricket fans in the house!
I've created this hanging ball contraption in the garage.
It's has a screw on the ceiling and the string is tied to this.
I now want to be able to adjust the length of the string (practice front and back foot strokes). If I tie a knot, it ruins the string and I can't get back to the longer length. I put another screw in the ceiling with a washer (15cm away from the existing screw). I used this to wrap the string around and get to my desired length. The problem is that as the ball swings back and forth, the string unwraps from this washered-screw and returns to the full length.
I am hoping that there is a simple solution to this and I would be grateful for your comments.
