About this Dummy
Hi, I’m Matt. I created this dummy because I wanted something more realistic to drill techniques on than what I could find online. Every dummy I looked at tended to look more like a cross between a heavy bag and a body pillow. I wanted something with joints that felt, moved and resisted more like a human body.
The dummy is 3D printed out of a rubber material with a hardness somewhere between a tire and a nerf football. It's tough enough to support all your body weight but not really built for big throws. The dummy is 65 inches long and 20 pounds. This is on the smaller side, but considering it's dead weight it feels manageable for drilling techniques. The joints all resist movement and snap back to a neutral position when released. This includes the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles.
