Overview
The Stroops Tomahawk Sack is a specialized rotational training accessory designed to transform a standard 10-inch medicine ball into a high-intensity swinging and slamming tool. By securing a medball within its heavy-duty strap system, athletes can perform a variety of dynamic, transverse-plane movements that are impossible with a standard ball. This tool is ideal for building core power, improving rotational explosiveness, and adding a "sledgehammer" or "kettlebell-style" dynamic to your conditioning workouts.

Key Features and Specifications
Interchangeable Design: Allows users to quickly swap medballs and slam balls of different weights (ball not included).
Compatibility: Optimized strictly for 10” diameter balls, such as Hoover Balls or specific smaller slam balls.
Adjustable Handle: Features three distinct length settings: 2', 3'6", and 4'3”, allowing for variance in centrifugal force and movement range.
Secure Grip: Includes a large knot at the end of the strap to ensure a firm, safe grip during high-velocity swings.
Made in the USA: Manufactured with high-tenacity nylon webbing for extreme durability.
Color: High-visibility Orange and Black.
Performance Benefits
Transverse Plane Power: Specifically engineered for rotational strength, the Tomahawk Sack is effective for Russian twists, lasso swings, anti-rotation drills, and "sledgehammer" slams without the need for a tire.
Versatile Movement Profile: Replicates movements similar to kettlebell swings and hammer throws, making it a valuable tool for track and field athletes, wrestlers, and MMA fighters.
Adjustable Difficulty: By altering the length of the strap (from 2' up to over 4'), athletes can significantly change the torque and difficulty of the movement, regardless of the ball's weight.
Cost-Efficient Training: Provides the functionality of an indoor hammer-throw weight or specialized rotational machine at a fraction of the cost.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Hand wash the nylon straps with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Air dry completely. Do not machine wash or dry, as high heat can weaken the nylon fibers.
Webbing Inspection: Periodically check the stitching and the integrity of the loops for any signs of fraying or wear, especially if used for high-impact slamming.
Ball Security: Always ensure the medball is centered and the straps are fully tightened before starting a set to prevent the ball from slipping out during mid-swing.
Storage: Store in a dry environment. Keep away from sharp objects that could nick or cut the webbing, compromising its structural safety.
Warranty Information
Standard Warranty: Backed by Stroops’ standard manufacturer warranty covering defects in material and workmanship.
Exclusions: Does not cover standard cosmetic wear and tear or damage resulting from using balls larger or smaller than the intended 10-inch diameter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does it come with a medicine ball? A: No. The Tomahawk Sack is a strap-based holder only. You must provide your own 10-inch diameter medicine ball or slam ball.
Q: Can I use a standard 14-inch wall ball? A: No. This product is specifically designed for 10” diameter balls. A standard 14” ball will be too large to fit securely within the strap configuration.
Q: Is it safe for slamming? A: Yes, provided you are using a ball specifically rated for slamming (like a Hoover Ball or a dedicated Slam Ball). The sack itself is designed to handle the force of impact.
Q: What movements can I do with it? A: Popular exercises include overhead slams, lateral rotational swings, "figure-eights," kettlebell-style swings, and diagonal wood-choppers.
