The Hand-Held Pole Harness: A Proven Tool for Teaching Multi-Rotational Jumps

If you’re a figure skating coach working on advancing your skaters through triples, quads, or multi-rotation jump combinations, you’ve likely heard of the hand-held pole harness. This tool is designed to give both coach and skater greater control, consistency, and safety during jump training, without needing access to overhead harness systems.

What Is the Hand-Held Pole Harness?

The hand-held pole harness is a custom-built, extendable device that allows coaches to guide skaters through the takeoff, rotation, and landing phases of jumps. It’s especially effective for teaching air position and timing, as it offers real-time feedback and controlled support throughout the motion.

This model is handcrafted by a figure skating instructor with over 30 years of experience. Built with durability in mind, it extends up to 90 inches, allowing a full range of motion on the ice surface.

How Does It Work?

Unlike overhead harnesses that suspend skaters from above, the hand-held pole harness keeps the skater grounded in real-world conditions. It gives coaches the ability to assist in:

  • Timing the takeoff and rotation
  • Maintaining alignment in the air
  • Improving landings with balance and control
  • Building muscle memory for multi-rotational jumps

Skaters benefit by feeling the correct technique without developing reliance on being lifted or suspended, helping them progress faster and with better form.

Who Is It For?

This tool is ideal for:

  • Coaches working with skaters on double, triple, or quad jumps
  • Programs that do not have access to a permanent in-rink harness
  • Skaters who need additional support to master the timing and mechanics of rotation
  • Coaches seeking portable, effective equipment that works anywhere on the ice
