Overview
The SKLZ Recoil 360 is a versatile, all-sport dynamic resistance and assistance trainer designed to help athletes build speed, power, and explosiveness. Its standout feature is a "free-floating" ring on the belt that allows for 360 degrees of movement, enabling multi-directional drills without the cable tangling or restricting the athlete's path. Whether used for solo resistance work or partner-assisted overspeed training, the Recoil 360 is a staple for athletes in football, basketball, soccer, and track.

Performance Benefits
Multi-Directional Agility: The free-floating ring allows athletes to switch from forward sprints to lateral shuffles or backpedaling seamlessly, making it ideal for sport-specific reaction drills.
Resistance Training: Build leg drive and "first-step" explosiveness by sprinting against the tension of the cord.
Assistance (Overspeed) Training: When used with a partner pulling the athlete forward, it helps increase stride frequency and improve the body's efficiency at higher-than-normal speeds.
Solo or Partner Use: Can be anchored to a stable stationary point (post or fence) for solo work or used with the included partner safety strap for interactive drills.
Vertical Power: Effective for resisted jumping drills to increase vertical leap and triple-extension power.

Maintenance and Care
Inspection: Before every session, inspect the sheathed cord for any nicks or damage to the internal bungee. Check the carabiners and belt stitching for signs of wear.
Cleaning: The belt is generally machine-washable (gentle cycle, air dry). Wipe down the cord and hardware with a damp cloth if used in muddy conditions.
Storage: Store the cord in a relaxed state (not stretched) in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct UV sunlight, which can degrade the latex core of the bungee.
Safety: Always ensure the anchor point (stationary or partner) is secure before applying tension. The partner should always use the included safety wrist strap.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum weight for the user? A: While there is no strict weight limit for the user, the cord is designed to provide up to 50 LBS of resistance. It is recommended for athletes aged 14 and older.
Q: Can I use this for "bungee aerobics"? A: No. This is an athletic conditioning tool designed for horizontal resistance and assistance. It is not designed or safety-rated for vertical suspension or bungee-based aerial fitness.
Q: Does it fit all waist sizes? A: The adjustable belt is designed to be "one-size-fits-most," typically accommodating waist sizes from 28" to 44".
Q: How do I anchor it for solo use? A: Use the metal carabiner to clip the cord to a stable, stationary structure (like a fence post or weighted rack) at waist level or lower.
