Scrummaster ReacTore

The most up to date model in the Scrummaster™ stable is the ReacTore™ - a merge of style, functionality and performance that will improve the output of your scrum

With a number of key add-ons to the basic model - the ReacTore™ becomes the machine of your club's dreams.

With a solar Power Pack, Patented Push Back technology, a helpful Turf Tread option and the ever popular mobility of a the exclusive Highway tow package.

PowerPack™ - The PowerPack™ collects energy from the sun,so it is fully charged and ready to go at all times, which gives coaches the key Push Back you need to Load and test their pack.

Push Back - Traditional sleds have one direction - the one your scrum is pushing. With the Push Back feature - your team works harder - forcing them to use critical core muscles and co-ordinated effort to counter the opposition offered by the ReacTore™ . This type of eccentric overload training has been proven to produce the most benefits in the weight room, now we bring it to every scrum.

Digital Feedback - Chart all your sessions with readouts of your team's efforts - giving them goals oriented training, and also meaningful feedback as the season progresses.

Turf Tread - A lot of university teams and high performance centers train on all weather Turf Fields - Now - the revolutionary Turf Tread means the ReacTore™ can go on any artifical surface - with no threat of damage,exceeding all Turf manufacturers strict criteria.

Build the ReacTore™ you want using the options & upgrades available.

Why it is called the
ReacTore?

The ReacTore is our newest scrummage trainer. We call it the ReacTore because of the core strength required to control the vertical movement of the trainer. Just like a real scrum. We achieved this by suspending the mass on a balanced suspension system, which is sitting on an air spring that reacts like a exercise ball in the gym. The pads are attached to this floating platform. The harder a pack engages the more the ReacTore will compress, forcing the scrum to control the vertical movement rather than just leaning into it. If you lift up it will just do that, but the ReacTore will not move. If you hit and hang on the pads, it will compress lower than the pack. Still no movement will occur, but if the scrum has a tight core and there is tension throughout, the forward energy is transferred, achieving movement.

The ReacTore is very portable even when fully loaded.

  • controlled movement
  • engagement aid contact pads

Power Pack Option
The Power Pack allows an onboard compressor to help raise and lower the ReacTore at a flick of a switch.
Also in power training mode the ReacTore will push back on engagement. This creates realism in training.

Advantage: It is a proven fact that when muscles are overloaded and they enter eccentric contraction that maximun strength gains are achieved. The Power Pack offers this type of training. Building strength and not allowing muscles to relax while in the scrum cycle.
