Product Information

Full details

The Precision Single Wedge Hit Shield (PRR000102) is designed for school and club rugby players, as well as young athletes in other sports, to improve tackling and striking techniques. Its primary benefit is enhancing safe tackling form through its wedge design and providing durable, shock-resistant practice. A minor caveat is that while water-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh weather may affect longevity. Key features include its single wedge shape for low tackling, high-density shock-resistant foam, and durable, water-resistant PVC fabric.

While primarily designed for tackling technique, the Junior size is also described as a children's punching shield ideal for working on hitting technique safely. For adult striking, its primary purpose remains tackling.

How do I clean the hit shield?

Clean the shield by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Can the shield be used in wet weather conditions?

Yes, the shield is made with water-resistant PVC fabric, allowing for training in various weather conditions. However, it should be dried and stored properly after use.

What sports is this hit shield recommended for?

It is highly recommended for rugby training to improve tackling. It is also suitable for soccer, field hockey, and other sports where impact or striking technique practice is beneficial.

Is the foam inside replaceable?

The product description does not mention replaceable foam. The shield is constructed as a one-piece unit for durability.

Troubleshooting

Shield feels too hard or stiff

The high-density foam is designed for shock absorption. Allow the shield to 'break in' with use during training sessions. Avoid storing in extreme cold temperatures, which can temporarily increase stiffness.

Water pooling on the surface after rain

Ensure the PVC fabric is clean and free of debris. While water-resistant, prolonged standing water can occur. Wipe down the shield after use and store it in a dry environment.

Material appears to be fading or cracking

This can occur with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Store the shield indoors or in a shaded area when not in use and clean only with a damp cloth.
