Rae Crowther Pro Model Climb Sled with S2 Pad

The Evolution of Contact and how to Gain a Competitive Advantage

Evolution of ContactSince the rae-crowther-pro-model-climb-sled-with-s2-pad  inception of the game, contact was coached and developed using a horizontal plane of force. The objective was to create horizontal momentum by “running off the ball” and taking a big “lead step” in order to move/control the opponent.Players who were bigger historically dominated smaller players. Smaller players, who were tasked with playing against bigger opponents were often left with few answers.However, in recent years, coaches at the highest levels of the game have innovated and brought to the game a new contact skill. This new technique is called “Force Deflection”.Force Deflection uses hip driven power to elevate the spine angle of the opponent. .

Goal of the Climber Sled The rae-crowther-pro-model-climb-sled-with-s2-pad allows players to practice the exact postures and movement patterns required to consistently execute “Force Deflection” on game day.The sled utilizes the S Pad. Instead of a traditional flat pad, the player shaped S pad helps the player tap into their hip power and keep their elbows within the frame of their body.Even professional linemen can hide technical flaws on traditional flat padded sleds because they only require horizontal force to move. The Climber is different and requires Hip Driven Force.In order to move/drive the Climber, players must uncoil their hips to generate lift and follow with fast feet.The Climber will stop moving if the player take big steps. Big steps disable the power in the hips.Force Deflection Technique requires attention to detail and every rep on the Climber can help players prepare for success in the game.The sled for the mechanics of hip driven power and removing the helmet from contact.

• Maximize your teaching of base blocks. Maximize your players practice time.
• Maybe the best tool available for helping the undersized lineman.
• The angle (or lean) of the S-Pad is adjustable, allowing the coach to adjust the contact angle. Lean pad forward like a player in their stance, or stand pad upright like a pass blocker. Or anywhere in-between.
• The climb technique throws the helmet back and out of contact.
• S2 pad has built in breast plate with enough “give” to allow the offensive player to gain a handle. S2 pad also includes stubby short arms.
• Adjustable in
