DIY Vertical Jump Tester Tutorial

Even if you are not planning to make one yourself, I would appreciate if you still bought it to support the effort that me and my dad put into making this tutorial ToT. It would make us very happy!

This is a video tutorial on how I made my DIY vertical jump tester. Keep in mind that this is not the best way to make it, but this is just how I made this it. So, I expect that some people may question some of the methods that I used and come up with better solutions, but that's the beauty of DIY! If you have improvements to make upon the design, go for it. I truly hope this tutorial is able to help you guys out :)

READ BEFORE WATCHING

This build is made with under $100 worth of materials. Therefore, it doesn't include the cost of tools and equipment, sorry if that may have been misleading.

All of the actions in the video can be performed by the tools specified inside of the video. I may have said that you can use a handsaw but proceeded to pull out a grinder, however that is purely for the sake of speed. Those cuts can be made with a handsaw but will only take much longer and be a bit more tedious.

The only cut that I didn't specify the tool for was the shortening of the metal rod. This can be done with certain types of handsaws such as a hacksaw. I used a grinder.

Thank you for your support! 🙌

Build description:

• Elevated bell which you jump up and ring. Minus your standing reach from the arm height to find out your vertical!
• 3 ft (around 90 cm) in adjustability. This means that you can adjust the height within a vertical range of 3 feet. (you can choose this range during the building process)
• Under $100! This makes it a much cheaper alternative compared to online bought testers ($400 - $1000)
• Essential measurement of explosiveness for many sports such as volleyball, basketball and soccer
• Fun to use!
• Customizable height up to 12 ft (370 cm) tall! (You can also make it much shorter)
