SKLZ Speed Gates for Sports and Athletic Speed Training, Yellow

Work well, te sensor started to give some issues which was quickly remedied once I contacted seller

Seems like a great idea, but the 2-AA batteries aren't powerful enough to run the unit. The timer doesn't register when the runner passes the gates, even though the light on the gates trips when the runner passes by. I've noticed you have to be no less than 10 yards from both gates (start and finish gates) for the timer to register when someone crosses them. If you're timing a 40 yard dash, as the description says it can go that far, it's impossible to stand 10 yards from the start and finish gates unless you run along with the sprinter, which is currently what I'm doing. I'm less than 10 yard from the start gate as the sprinter starts. Then I run along with the sprinter to try to get within 10 yards of the finish gates in order for the timer to receive the signal. If I'm not close enough to the finish gate by the time the sprinter crosses it, the timer doesn't receive the signal and it doesn't stop recording, so I don't end up with a finish time making the product useless. Basically, the unit isn't powerful enough in order to work properly. If you have brand new AA batteries (which you need 5 pairs), you may get it to work up to the 40 yards, but not for long. As the batteries start to die, which they do as soon as you start to use them, the distance the timer can read the gates starts to drop. After using for a few mins, I'm no longer able to register a 40 yard dash by standing at the finish gate. I have to stand in the middle to run along with the sprinter in order for the timer to work. And the included batteries, which are cheap, really struggle. I had to replace those almost immediately with expensive Duracells. This product is a good idea, just wasn't fully designed to work properly. I may rewire all the units to take 3-AA batteries instead of 2 and see if the extra voltage of the 3rd battery will allow the timer to register the gates up to 40 yards, but my recommendation is to avoid this product altogether. I know gates are normally $400 and up, so this product would nice at this price point, but what's the point of purchasing something that's just going to end up being a paper weight. Now, maybe I got a bad unit, but for me, it doesn't work. Like I said, I'm going to play around with wiring it for 3 batteries. Will that ruin the unit, maybe. But at the moment it doesn't work, so I might as well try to turn this paper weight into something useful. Either way, I'll be investing in another unit, which will be more expensive but it's better than throwing away money. It's too bad, I really wanted these to work. It's such a basic function and I don't see why gates are so expensive, but I need something that works and is reliable, and my experience has been that his product is not it.

Works as they should. I put some good quality batteries and haven’t had any issues.

So far I like the product. It's made all out of plastic so not sure how long it will last but so far it works well. Just a little on the expensive side since it's all plastic...timing has worked well but just 1 week old

The stands that come with the sensors are too low and having the time piece more than 20 yards away from the start or end causes frequent errors. After a little use I used buckets to prop up the sensors which helped greatly. I also started 1/3 of the way towards the middle and walked as the athlete I was timing ran so I was close enough to the end for it to work. Once I figured out a couple little tricks it worked great, but it definitely needs some tweaking to make it work as intended. Even with that being said, for the price compared to similar products I would recommend. It is not perfect, but once you play some games with it, it works very well.

Hi, I'm a gymnast of 26 years, a coach for 10, and I've been building a ninja warrior program for the last year. My ninja students love them. The students love to be able to see their times and the times of their peers, and it is motivation for them to race the clock. The lasers appear high tech (they really are just garage door laser motion sensors) and although they are made of plastic, I expect they will last a very long time given they aren't mistreated. In my professional opinion, these speed gates are the best for the money spent. There's no other product out there right now which compares in both price & functionality. Right now, similar products are ranging from $600-$1000.

I bought these gates to time sprints with my kids who are track athletes. I’ve been disappointed with them to say the least. These gates advertise being able to time distances up to 40-50meters, I’ve been lucky to get up to 20 meters and in most cases can’t get beyond 15! We’ve bought performance batteries as some suggest and even that hasn’t worked The gates are also unreliable when we finally do get to a working distance they often don’t start or don’t stop. It happens far too often! If you’re serious about timing sprints, spend the money and get something more reliable. I spend a good 10-12 minutes before the workout just trying to find a distance that these dang things will work at. We’ve had lot of wasted time and unrecorded reps using these gates. If you’re a hobbyist go for it, but if you’re serious about what you’re doing look elsewhere. Very disappointed with the results we’ve had with these gates

I bought this product for a Human Performance Lab in an institutional setting, primarily for an upper division undergraduate Exercise Physiology course. We use the timing gates to test immediate and short-term anaerobic power, and have validated the device's accuracy against other similar systems. Upon validation, we also now utilize the timing gates for Exercise Science research when indicated. We've had no problem with the gates up to 40 yards. For our purposes, these timing gates have proven to be an excellent product at a very affordable price.

Makes training easy, so easy to track progress

Viel tegen. Klok loopt vaak door!

説明書は英語でしたが、すぐに設置する事が出来ました。 センサーの反応も良くとても満足です。

Produto excelente, funcionamento perfeito, ideal para os meus treinos. Top top

All things considered, these are very good timing gates, especially for the money. We've been using them for two years to record 40-yard dash and 10m fly times and they continue to be quietly impressive. You do have to account for their little foibles, though. For example, on very bright days or when the sun is going down behind one of the timing gates, you might find one gate doesn't properly register you passing through it. Also, rather than put the timing screen on the floor, we have a non-runner holding it, which seems to provide better reception. I've given them five stars because, although they're not perfect, they've performed way better than I expected for their price and they're still going strong after two years of heavy use. From what we can tell, they're pretty accurate, too. In truth, they have been an invaluable part of our training.
