Durable, designated impact surfaces affixed to a rig structure provide a focal point for repetitive throwing exercises with weighted balls. These surfaces are typically made from robust materials like steel or reinforced plastics, designed to withstand repeated impact without degradation. An example would be a square metal plate bolted to a cross-member within a fitness rig.
Utilizing designated impact zones enhances training by promoting consistent mechanics and measurable progress. This consistency allows athletes to refine their technique and build power more effectively than throwing against an undefined area. Historically, wall ball shots were often performed against any available wall surface. The development of specialized targets reflects an evolving understanding of effective training principles and the need for equipment designed to maximize performance and minimize risk of injury.
