Question

VertiMax

I was searching for first step speed drills, and this thing came up. It looks like a bunch of schools use it (including my almamatter, KU).

What is so special about it? It looks like a bunch of strength tubes hooked to a board.

Does anyone have any real experience with it?

It appears to me as if it's used to train for explosive strength. In theory, it's similar to swinging a heavier bat during batting practice. If you're training your vertical with resistance, your in-game vertical should improve. I'm not sure how effective it is, but I've never seen anybody use it, either.
