FAQ
What age group is the 60" Hedgehog Tackler best suited for?
The 60" model is best suited for high school through collegiate players. The height and density of the pads are ideal for older, larger athletes. Fisher also offers a 49" version (HH4R49) that is better suited for younger or smaller players.
How does the tumbling action work?
The four rocket-shaped pads are designed so that when a player makes contact, the tackler tumbles and tips over naturally. This allows the next player in the drill to immediately engage without coaches having to stop and reset the equipment, keeping practice reps fast and continuous.
Can the Hedgehog Tackler be used on artificial turf?
Yes, the Hedgehog Tackler can be used on both natural grass and artificial turf surfaces. Its lightweight construction makes it easy to move between surfaces and position for different drill setups.
Does the color affect the product in any functional way?
No - the color is purely cosmetic and allows teams to match their school or program colors. All color variants are identical in construction, dimensions, and performance.
