GoSports XTRAMAN PRO 46" XL Pop Up Defender 3 Pack - Heavy Duty Multi-Sport Blocking Dummy - Training Equipment for Basketball, Football, Soccer and More

Been wanting these for some time for my basketball team. Pros. Super huge and made with quality material. Each defender includes a 5lb or so sandbag. If you’re using this indoors, no need for the added weight to hold them down, the defenders are heavy duty! If you’re using them outside, I’d say the same thing unless you have HIGH winds (I haven’t tested this) but can imagine strong winds blowing them over without the sandbags. I’m loving the size because it gives the a realistic opponent, where they need to work around, whether they have to dribble around or make a clean pass around. Only 1 con,, and it’s an easy FIX! The material to hold down the pop up is WAY too short! I just went to Michael’s and found an elastic extension to add to it. Other than that, the product is perfect for what I need. For basketball coaches, it’s an amazing tool.o

Awesome for the Nerf war they were used for. A little spendy but a great product.

It’s exactly what I thought it would be and need it to be! The blockers size helps training moves feel a little more realistic. Another plus is being able to add more weight to stabilize blockers further.

My dad is a basketball coach and uses these often for his littles and big kids. They are easy to set up and fold up when completed.

Great for training and adding that extra defender when we are short on kids at practice I like that we didnt have to fill the sandbags manually Easy to transport

I thought it would be cool to have something that resembles a human to try to dribble around. Setting up cones is also a way to do this but I thought having a visual barrier would provide a more game like scenario. I am still experimenting with the idea though. For now though I am back to just using cones since it's a little faster to set up and take down during a session.

Would have been awesome but one of the ties that holds them down broke on the third use (light basketball work). No easy way to reattach and makes it impossible to transport If these were much cheaper I could let it slide but too expensive for that low quality

Has potential....didn't work as advertised....the pop-up spring tube folds over like a slinky toy it falls over with the slightest of wind.... the waited bags does not keep it down....the lock down tie strings are difficult to use .....very disappointed.. my players and staff was excited and looking forward to use them .....

Easy to setup! The students athletes love it!
