AdneeIce Skating Spinner - Figure Skating Spinner Board - Ice Skating Spinning Turnboard Trainer Device for Practicing,Improves Ice Skating Spins

I purchased this to have both a class of ballet students and madam (ballet instructor) test as well as a balance-challenged adult so that a wide range of experiences could be used for this review. The class of students took a little bit to get used to this trainer and after which found it easy to use and practice for spotting as it provides less traction/drag on the floor, allowing for greater rotation in between fouettés. The madam found it rather easy to adjust to, whereas the beginner adult found balancing on the center of their foot a difficult but exciting challenging prospect. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this for someone who can normally balance and gain enough momentum to get 1-2 turn arounds without falling, as this will allow you to practice where on your foot you are putting pressure and where you are spotting.A few notes that didn't remove any stars for me because they were more personal preference, but I still think are important to recognize. 1) before you buy, take a piece of paper and cut it to the dimensions specified in the listing. The plates really are small, and as a size 10 womens I found it more difficult to use than the ballet students. 2) keep the shape of the turn plate in mind. As this is round, it is best for when you put pressure on a specific part of your foot, such as the toe, for your turns, whereas ice skaters beginning their turn practices may be more comfortable with a long board the length of their foot can fit on. and 3) look at the picture for use of the spinner. I was quite tired when I opened it at first and put the spinner foam-side down, which did not move at all, lol.In closing, if you are an individual able to spin 1-2 times on one foot without falling, you will have the balance to make use of this product. It would work better for dancers than ice skaters based on where you put the weight in your foot, and smaller-footed individuals may make better use out of this, but with patient effort anyone can learn to use it! Helpful especially for finding your center of balance.

Lots of friction means slow spinning and fast slowdown. I should have read the description. Even a pivot disk has two layers with ball bearings between. This a just a plastic disk that slides across a hard surface. This also means that it can slide out of weight is not balanced enough.

I don't figure skate I roller skate. I saw these in a YouTube video to help with off skates training for certain stops & positions. Using these is addictive, I am not good with spinning at all, I can practice spotting easily at home but not on my wood floors per the directions. No floors were scratched during testing.Very sturdy I felt secure putting all my weight on one or using both together.I actually have to hide them because I don't like my children trying to use them unsupervised. It's fun, but not a toy and should be used properly.

It is only 5 inches in diameter. Got this as a Christmas gift for an Ice Skating grand daughter. If it works for her I will update this review, but I cannot see how it would work for adults.

These are pretty neat training aids for the hockey player or figure skater in your life! They help with agility and balance during off ice training sessions. They slide effortlessly across carpet or tile flooring and can be used just about anywhere. My son is very happy with such a simple tool to add to his skating off ice routine.

This product's quality is appropriate for the price. It's an inexpensive, no-frills training tool to help balance or practice off-ice skills.This is an economical solution for petite or smaller bodies, but bulkier/larger folks are probably going to have more of an issue. Ideal for kids and young adults.

I am not sure if I would recommend this as my daughter has a hard time using it. This may be due to user error so I cannot fault the product as it does glide easily and in turn would spin, but it is hard to figure out.I would only recommend this if you are proficient at turning, otherwise, look for something else. This is almost like a glorified furniture mover.

Good for what it is - a turnboard set. Need to work on turnout for off- or on-ice skills? This can help. Reduces friction to help the proper muscles move to improve turnout without cheating it and risking injury. They now live in my off-ice class bag.
