Advice from the Community
“Box grip matters more than people think—fresh lugs and a squared toe keep the plant box feel predictable.”
“Full‑approach reps in spikes every week. The timing with the pole feels different without the plate’s rebound.”
“Match foot‑specific models to your takeoff side so the bracing walls line up with your plant.”
