This model is designed for use by female and male coaches working with beginner figure skaters. It focuses primarily on developing foundational jump technique, including the Axel and double jumps. In addition, the model supports coaches in teaching and refining both forward and backward scratch spins.
The hand-held pole harness is a portable, coach-operated training device that helps skaters safely practice high-rotation jumps. It consists of:
-
A waist belt adjustable from 15 to 40 inches in diameter
-
Durable steel wire rope assembly
-
Hand grips and a rubber bungee tube
-
Quick-release carabiners and fittings
The harness enables real-time correction, guidance, and support during takeoff, rotation, and landing, making it a vital tool for any jump-focused training program.
Key Features:
-
Durable Steel Wire Rope: Provides strength and flexibility while withstanding repeated stress.
-
Adjustable Extension: The pole extends up to 70 inches, allowing coaches to assist from a safe distance.
-
Comfort-Focused Design: The belt distributes weight evenly around the skater’s torso, improving comfort and balance.
-
Quick Clip Connectors: Easy to attach and detach, ideal for fast-paced training sessions.
How It Works:
- Secure the Waist Belt: Place the padded belt around the skater’s waist and adjust it for a snug fit.
- Connect the Rope Assembly: Use carabiners to attach the steel wire rope to the belt and the pole’s grip bar.
- Coach Holds the Bar: The coach grips the end of the pole, allowing control over the skater’s jump rotation and positioning.
- Skater Jumps: As the skater initiates a jump, the coach uses the pole to stabilise, assist with lift and rotation, and help guide a safe landing.
