Should I use a forwards or sideways setup?Updated 2 months ago

We always recommend the forwards setup when possible, with one foot in the middle of the long bar. As long as one foot starts in the lasers, and one foot lands in the lasers, you are all set.

The sideways setup has the potential for the athlete to jump outside the lasers, with their heels falling back down afterwards. This can throw off readings.

The forwards setup standing centered on the bars has the potential for the feet to not block the lasers (shining in between feet).
