POWER BOW SLED

POWER BOW SLED

• The Power-Bow gives the player and coach immediate feedback on the player’s base, upper body strength, and power.  This sled is a versatile tool for your training.
• No matter your scheme or position, the Power Bow trains your players to fight whistle to whistle.  You can set the sled on any angle to simulate the defender’s position.  Use the Power Bow to mirror the edge defenders’ distance, angle, and stance.
• Please scroll down and watch the videos below.
• Two weight horns are mounted on the wing and 1 weight horn is mounted on the chassis. (behind the pad). Adding or subtracting weight is a key to the sled’s performance.  You can make the sled heavy or light.  You can create a stalemate on contact or have players run their feet.  The sled is tunable to your level of play.   Is it a grind and get gritty day?… then load up the Power Bow.
• A bag holder will not allow getting blown up as you can on this sled, plus keep and maintain your practice tempo.
• You can UNBALANCE the sled by loading plates on the wing.  For example, add 45 lb. plate(s) to the right side of the sled and then drill your players to drive the sled straight.  The unbalanced feel is designed to replicate the direction of the opposing players force, and then for your player to fight against that force.
• The unbalanced sled simulates rotational and anti-rotational pressures felt during run block and pass pro scenarios.   A tool to help teach getting the feet in the ground and being rooted.
• Strike it, lift it, and run your feet.
• Here is an example of a Fit Drill: The offensive lineman starts in a fitted position on the sled.  The player can start with the jersey off of the sled to learn handles on the shoulder pads. As the player progresses add the jersey back on the sled.  After fit, player drives off in steps to ensure leverage is being met with tight elbows and forceful steps.  As the player progresses the coach can add weight to the sled, either balanced or balanced weight. The player must carry and feel the weight of the sled to ensure leverage is maintained.
• Here is an example of an Inside Zone Drill to simulates gap zone steps.  The player works to the outside number of the defender (pad) to ensure leverage is not lost inside or outside.  The player must strike the sled correctly with proper aiming points or he will lose leverage.  Player’s elbows must be tight.  Too much separation will cause the sled to have leverage over the player.
• Here is an example of an Outside Zone Drill that simulates perimeter blocking.  The player must step and work thru the outside shoulder of the defender (pad).  The player must drive the sled vertical once reaching the outside shoulder.
• Disheartened with your players’ lack of finish on game day?  The ability to “unbalance” the Power Bow requires players to adjust to variable force lines which help develop ‘Relentless Finish.’
• Of course, the sled can be used traditionally w/o adding weight or you can add weight evenly to the sled depending on your surface and size/strength of your players.  Use on turf or grass.
• The Power Bow utilize our HPST system (Hip Power Spring Tech).   When the pad(s) is leveraged the HPST engages and provides resistance.  The amount of resistance is adjustable to your level of play.
• Choose between 2 styles of great pads; the H1 pad or the E2 pad.
• The H1 pad has shoulder pads and a jersey mounted on a foam torso. The feel and fit are realistic and is designed to train all aspects of hand placement.
• The E2 pad provide a tight hand “fit” that makes players accurate, powerful, and accountable.  The coach can “see” if the player is accurate.  The concave shape of the pads is also ideal for shoulder and flipper techniques.
• The angle (body lean) of the pad can be adjusted from 0, 12, or 20 degrees.  This allows the drill to match the distance to contact and the defender’s stance, allowing the pad to give a 2- or 3-point look.  No tools, just a pull pin. Lean the pad 20 degrees forward for goal line drills or “wrecking ball” technique, or stand the pad at 0 degrees for pass pro and linebacker drills.
• Pad colors:  black, navy, royal, red, green, gold.
