Review on SKLZ Speed Chute Resistance Acceleration by Michael Cooper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My cornerback and outfielders needed more speed

Both of my soccer sons love the parachute. It's not easy to get them into sports at their age, but they love the parachute. Last season my youngest son was promoted to the offline defense position on his 7th grade team. For many years he was too strong in youth football to handle the ball, so he waited a long time to do so. He wants to make sure he keeps the defender's job from now on. He was fast for a lineman, but we knew he had to get into running back form to remain cornerback so he wouldn't tire late in the game from chasing the ball so much. We believe the SKLZ parachute provided the drag needed to generate the kind of explosive speed we had in week 5 compared to week 1. It was impressive to see him keep collapsing during the long, no-equipment runs throughout the season. . . . He also plays baseball, as does his older brother, who also works as a linesman. They are both outfielders who use parachutes to gain speed in the outfield and steal bases or throw doubles and triples. Great product, great price.

Pros
  • Built-in mesh panels prevent tendon tangling and help stabilize the parachute during practice
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
