The Ultimate Balance Trainer:
Biofeedback device improves key athletic skill
 World-class athletes depend on balance and fluid, efficient
movement for power, control, responsiveness and injury
prevention. However, balance is much harder to teach or
learn than the other components of the well-rounded athlete:
technique, physical conditioning and mental attitude. The
Ultimate Balance Trainer is a recently introduced miniature
device that uses motion sensing and biofeedback to help
athletes improve their balance and make an immediate impact
on their game.
Despite its sophisticated technology, The Ultimate Balance
Trainer is simple and intuitive to use: it is quiet when
you move in balance and it tells you, in a natural human
voice, when you move off balance, even detecting subtle
imbalances that are invisible to the wearer or observers.
It has 16 proficiency level settings to provide appropriate
feedback for all athletes from beginners to touring pros.
“Balance is the essential link between technical
ability and performance, but is very difficult to teach,” stated
Vic Braden, former ATP Tour player and the world’s
best-known tennis author and sports scientist. “The
Ultimate Balance Trainer is an idea whose time has come.
It will soon be the standard for developing balance
in tennis and all athletics.”
Tennis players and coaches throughout the world are already
using the Ultimate Balance Trainer to improve their own
performance and that of their students. When Anne
Smith, winner of a record 10 Grand Slam championships in
women’s and mixed doubles, began her comeback to
professional tennis after a 14-year hiatus, she turned
to balance training and the Ultimate Balance Trainer to
help her adjust to today’s bigger, stronger and harder-hitting
players. “The Ultimate Balance Trainer has been
invaluable in improving my footwork and adding more power
to my forehand.” says Smith, “I wear
it for the first 15 minutes of every practice session.
After only a few weeks, the difference in my game was amazing.”
 “The Ultimate Balance Trainer is ideal either
as part of a lesson plan or during individual practice,” says
Rhys Thomas, a 25-year USPTA Professional and Black Belt
in Tae Kwon Do who developed the original concept behind
the Ultimate Balance Trainer. “Balance is a
part of tennis that can be improved and athletes are
finding that the impact of that fundamental improvement
can advance them to levels they never thought possible.”
The Ultimate Balance Trainer costs $195.00 and includes
one Ultimate Balance Trainer unit, a battery charger, two
headbands with Velcro strips, two stick-on Velcro patches
for the user’s own headgear, a demonstration video
on CD-ROM an instruction manual. The Ultimate Balance
Trainer and accessories can be purchased directly from
Ultimate Balance at www.ultimatebalance.com.
The company web site also offers instructional videos,
articles, suggested balance drills and testimonials from
current users. Ultimate Balance can be reached at 1-888-225-2620.
