Rae Crowther Buckee Sled with H1 Rotating Pads

Description

The Rae Crowther Buckee Sled is a purpose-built offensive line training tool designed to teach the "Buckee technique" - a method for attacking the play-side shoulder tip of a defensive lineman as he crosses the line of scrimmage. The centerpiece of the sled is its pair of rotating H1 pads, engineered to replicate the shoulders of defensive linemen complete with real shoulder pads and a jersey for an authentic contact feel. When a blocker strikes the outside shoulder correctly, the pad twists and rotates to mirror realistic shoulder disruption, then automatically resets to the forward-facing position for the next rep. This self-resetting design lets coaches maximize daily repetitions without stopping to manually adjust the sled between players.

Beyond the Buckee technique, this sled doubles as a traditional 2-man sled when the pads are locked in place, and it is equally effective for training base blocks with a torque finish, aggressive pass sets, up kicks, and up posts. Whether used during practice or as a post-practice refinement tool, the Buckee Sled delivers instant, objective feedback to both blocker and coach - if the pad doesn't turn and recoil, the technique wasn't right.

Key Features

• Rotating H1 Pads: Pads simulate defensive lineman shoulders and rotate on correct outside-shoulder contact, providing instant technique feedback for blockers and coaches.
• Automatic Pad Reset: After each rep the pads return to their forward-facing home position, allowing rapid-fire repetitions without manual adjustment.
• Real Shoulder Pads & Jersey: H1 pads are fitted with actual shoulder pads and a jersey for an authentic, game-realistic contact feel during every rep.
• Integrated Shock Resistance: A shock mechanism at the base of each pad creates realistic resistance, training blockers to lock out their arms on contact.
• Lockable Pads for Traditional Use: Pads can be locked in place to convert the sled into a standard 2-man blocking sled for conventional offensive line drills.
• Buckee Technique Training: Specifically designed to teach playing long and square, countering the Buck Board defensive technique used by defensive linemen at all levels.
• Torque Finish Training: Enables rapid-fire repetitions of the base block with torque finish - a technique that occurs in nearly every running play.
• Pass Set Training: Supports aggressive pass set drills including up kicks and up posts for coaches who emphasize playing long with powerful hand strikes.
• Multiple Color Options: Available in black, navy, royal, red, green, and gold to match team colors.
• 2-Man Design: Two pads allow multiple blockers to train simultaneously, increasing practice efficiency and rep volume.

Color Options & Which to Choose

• Black (BK): Classic all-purpose finish that suits any uniform combination - a popular choice for programs that want a traditional, clean look on the field.
• Navy (NV): Deep navy finish ideal for programs with navy as a primary or secondary team color.
• Royal (RY): Bright royal blue - a great match for teams wearing royal blue uniforms and equipment.
• Red (RE): Bold red finish for programs whose identity is built around red as a primary team color.
• Green (GR): Rich green option well suited for teams with green in their color scheme.
• Gold (GO): Vibrant gold finish that pairs perfectly with programs featuring gold or yellow as a key team color.
