Swing Up Invert Device

Unread postby Darth Vaulter » Sat Jan 15, 2011 1:58 pm

The Rick Attig/Mike Ford Swing Up Invert training device has intrigued me for a couple of years. I'd be interested in comments from people who have used it. Does it work and is it worth the not insignificant cost?
May the Force be with you!

I worked at a camp where we had one to use. I wasn't given much instruction on how to use it, and I managed to get whacked HARD in the forehead with it. I looked like a unicorn :crying:

It seemed pretty cool, but I would make sure everyone using it knows what they are doing!
