Overview
The RMT® Club (Rotational Movement Training) by WeckMethod is a specialized, multipurpose training tool designed to integrate the entire body into athletic movement. Developed by David Weck, the inventor of the BOSU® Balance Trainer, the club features a unique shifting internal weight and a flexible head. It is engineered to improve rotational power, mobility, core strength, and coordination through high-intensity swinging and striking exercises.

Key Features and Specifications
Construction: Reinforced fixed handle with a durable, flexible 6” diameter head designed to absorb impact.
Internal Mechanism: Shifting filler weight provides dynamic resistance and audible feedback during movement.
Dimensions: 21” Total Length.
Weight Options: Available in 2 LB, 4 LB, 6 LB, and 8 LB increments.
Versatility: Can be used for swinging, striking (on approved surfaces), and as a myofascial release roller.
Origin: Made in the USA.
Color: Black.
Performance Benefits
Dynamic Resistance: The internal shifting weight creates a unique challenge as the load moves inside the club, forcing the athlete to stabilize and control the momentum during direction changes.
Audible Feedback: The sound of the shifting weight serves as a "cue" for movement quality—athletes can train for fluid, silent movements or sharp, intense "cracks" when switching directions.
Rotational Power: Specifically targets the hips, trunk, and shoulders, making it an essential tool for sport-specific training in golf, baseball, tennis, and MMA.
Enhanced Mobility: Swinging movements help improve shoulder range of motion and functional flexibility across multiple planes of motion.
Soft Tissue Recovery: The flexible rubber-like head can be utilized as a roller for self-myofascial release on tight muscle groups.
Maintenance and Care
Striking Restrictions: The RMT Club is built for striking, but ONLY on padded surfaces at least 2" thick (e.g., heavy bags, BOSU balls, or padded mats). DO NOT strike against rubber gym mats, concrete, walls, or hard surfaces, as this will damage the head and handle.
Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the flexible head material.
Handle Inspection: Periodically check the connection point between the handle and the head for any signs of wear or excessive clicking.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight, which can affect the flexibility of the head.
Warranty Information
The RMT Club is manufactured for high-intensity use but is subject to specific care requirements.
Note: The warranty may be voided if the club is damaged due to striking unapproved (non-padded) surfaces or through negligent handling. Manufacturing defects are covered under standard terms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the "RMT" in the name stand for? A: It stands for Rotational Movement Training, the primary focus of the exercises performed with this tool.
Q: Is the weight adjustable? A: No, the RMT Club comes in fixed weight increments (2 LB to 8 LB). The "shifting weight" refers to the internal filler that moves back and forth within the head during exercise.
Q: Can I use this for golf swing training? A: Yes, it is highly popular among golfers for improving clubhead speed and rotational stability in the trunk and hips.
Q: Why would I choose a lighter club (2 LB) over a heavier one? A: Lighter clubs are often used for high-speed coordination and technical skill work, while the 8 LB version is better for building rotational power and strength.
