SKLZ Speed and Agility Ladder, Pro, 10'

J'ai commandé 2 échelles et à ce jour n'en ait reçu qu'une seule. Et la date de réception de cette dernière a changé toute seule. Ces échelles sont pour moi les plus pratiques, je suis prof de Tennis et je m'en sers très régulièrement. Pliage et dépliage incomparablement plus rapide et pratique que les échelles classiques.

I use these frequently for agility sessions for all age groups. They are much easier to set up and put away than the cheaper option and if a player catches the ladder it doesn't need to be straightened out as it keeps the shape pretty well. I have also found it to be more durable than the cheaper options. If it is something you are using regularly then worth paying for it.

SKLZ typically makes genuinely innovative products. Just not this one. A complete engineering redesign is needed here. I purchased two of the "Pro" series ladders along with their regular ones. One Pro ladder arrived broken. The box did not exhibit external damage so I'm going to say it didn't happen during transit. The second dies a horribly dead the very first time a player stepped on the rung during a workout. The ladder becomes useless as soon as the scissor part is broken. Sorry SKLZ - back to the drawing board with this one.

This is a great item for developing rhythm, balance and body control in both children and adults. It's light-weight and easy to set up-- no assembly required. You simply detach the two snaps and stretch it out on the floor accordion-like and fold it back up when you're done. It fits nicely in the carrying bag which is included, and all the plastic edges are smooth so nothing caught on the bag. It extends out to about 10 feet, and you can adjust the distance between each rung to fit your needs. If you need more than 10 feet, you can purchase more ladders and attach them to each other. Four ground stakes are included for outdoor use; so far I have only used it inside. In addition, the ladder comes with a very helpful instruction guide that contains 25 different exercises-- some for warming-up, some for movement, and then some for recovery after the workout. (Note though: for some reason, the three recovery exercises require that you to use a hard foam barrel roller. If you don't have one, you could probably just do any kind of cool-down that would help your muscles recover.) That said, it's extremely intuitive to set up and I used it easily and had no problem with my feet catching on any part of it.

Ladders are a real basic item, so what makes this on special? For starters, I like the solid ladders, because they don't get all messed up when kicked, and they don't tangle. The problem I've had with solid ladders though, is storage. This ladder collapses down very easily for storage, and a bag to put it in. Another plus is that you can adjust the distance between rungs. I would recommend this ladder over any of the others I've tried. It is highly functional, easy to store, and adjustable.
