Who's buying a Tetra Tackle Bag for next season? Does anybody have one already? If yes, I'd love to hear about it. Some of our coaches are asking me to purchase one for this upcoming season. I like that you can get alot of reps in a short amount of time, but I'm still not 100% sold on it. tetra-na.com/raecrowther.com/product/jax-tackler/ |

It looks great.
The only thing I don’t like is that it looks difficult to drive your feet after contact.

Talked our HC into one, it's a little different model but looks a bit more sturdy (Hedgehog).
Yeah, I'm a bit worried about kids leaving their feet like you guys mentioned, but we will just have to make that a focus as coaches, just like we do with the wheels.
What I do like is the amount of reps with the aiming point constantly changing! I'll try to remember to hop back on here and give an update this spring.

Man this is tempting. |

Man this is tempting. If you end up wanting one, let me know, I just took a job as athletic equipment distributor and can probably get you a better deal than most. I don't work on commission either so no shady used car salesman BS. |

Any ideas on how this could be used beyond just tackling? Obviously that's the intended purpose but I'm always looking for multiple uses...

HC bought one. I will let you know when we get on it.
Seems like we can get lot's of reps of tracking and making contact. No great for finishing as already pointed out.
Fun way to condition for a position group.

Hold on. Just realized that everyone might using this thing wrong in the videos. You might should have to tackle it by straddling through one of the bags on the ground instead of tackling through the open space which just encourages leaving your feet.. This could actually force you into a better position and then force you to drive your legs.
Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me though. Would need to see a video of players tackling like I am talking about.

If you straddle the post on the ground as you come up to tackling, it would mimic the shimmy of approaching a tackle, closing space, but just looking at the video I think if you tackle it in that fashion it would send the kid up and over when you tackle it.
