Product Information
Full details
The Hy-Pro Defender Dummy Base is an essential training accessory for coaches, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts who require a stable, stationary anchor for training poles during skill-building drills. Designed to provide a secure, non-slip foundation, it allows for consistent performance both indoors on gym floors and outdoors on pitches; however, users should note that the base is best suited for flat, level surfaces and may require additional weight if used in extremely high-wind conditions.

FAQs
Can I use this base on grass?
Yes, it can be used on grass, but it is most effective when the grass is short and the ground is level.
Is the base heavy enough to stay put without stakes?
Yes, it is weighted specifically to hold standard training poles upright for most routine drills.
Does it come with training poles included?
No, the Hy-Pro Defender Dummy Base is sold as a standalone support unit.
How do I clean the base?
Wipe it down with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the rubberized material.
Will this scratch wooden gym floors?
The base is designed to be floor-friendly, but always ensure the base is clean of grit to avoid accidental abrasions.
Troubleshooting
The training pole feels loose inside the base
Ensure the pole is inserted completely and check if the pole diameter is compatible with the base aperture.
The base slides during intense training drills
Clean both the underside of the base and the floor surface to remove dust or debris, as these can create a slippery film.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the base is straightforward: simply place the unit on a flat, level surface and insert your compatible training pole into the center aperture. No tools or additional hardware are required. To maintain the integrity of the product, store the base in a dry location when not in use to prevent surface degradation from prolonged moisture exposure. Clean the base with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris from the non-slip underside, as dust accumulation can reduce its grip on smooth surfaces. Always ensure the pole is inserted fully into the base for the best center of gravity.
