We are consider purchasing a few of the Crowther s-Advantage tacklers.
Anyone out their that has used these? Can you offer a review or opinion?
Thanks

We have two and they seem to help with our tackling. THey are great for players to work on taking to the ground without hitting another player. It teaches the kid how to get low, helmet across, back flat butt down, drive the hips and move the feet.
If the player is not square or driving the feet then the sled just moves around in odd directions. It is easy to judge if the tackler made a good form tackle and how physical his tackle was.
We use them during specialties period (those players who are not on a special teams) and in our defensive tackling circuit. We have not had any injuries using this equipment in two years. Hope this helps.

Absolutely love the one we have! It's very functional and pretty fairly priced IMO.

Love it!! Use it everyday.. It's one of the best pieces of equipment for teaching the players to keep their feet moving..

We had some great volunteer guys from the community this last year and it was excellent for them to take guys who were not a kicker returner snapper etc over to this sled and work on tackling. (Our dline would work on Run fits against a regular one man sled at the same time and could alternate from one to the other). These volunteer guys loved it, because it was a great place for them to work with the players and show their love and enthusiasm for the game and for kids who play hard.
The sled shows you when a kid is not playing very hard.
