Has anyone used this training device? http://www.swingupinvert.com/product_list.htm
Opinions? Would it be a worthwhile investment for my high school program?

I think most HS programs would be better off building a high bar, and using the cost savings to invest in more poles. And a copy of the book From Beginner to Bubka, of course

Re: Swing Up Invert Trainer
We've got the bar, poles, and book covered.
I have a couple kids that are great athletes, have the strength, and really good swings. They are just having trouble completing the full invert. Figured I'd at least see if any vaulters have found this device to be useful at all.

I do believe that Liberty University has one mounted to a column beside their pit.

Probably the best vault simulator I've come across. I'm not sure how well beginners will be able to use it, but for intermediate to advanced athletes I think it is very good.
