How is CatchPad different from other light reaction products?
CatchPad is an advanced performance measurement system that combines all the capabilities of traditional reaction light systems into a smarter and more versatile solution. Powered by multiple sensors and an AI-driven mobile app, it delivers in-depth analysis for athletic performance, performance training, and reaction training, helping athletes improve both physical and cognitive performance.
Its unique design integrates sound (auditory cues), light, vibration, and advanced sensors—including touch, proximity, balance, vibration detection, and pressure—to support a wide range of agility training, speed training, quickness training, hand-eye coordination exercises, and athletic performance training scenarios.
Features such as motion detection (up to 150 cm), adjustable touch sensitivity (10 levels), and balance sensitivity (1–10°) make CatchPad ideal for multisensory and cognitive training. When balance mode is active, the device provides instant vibration, sound, and light feedback to help users maintain stability.
The app also includes guided workouts, reaction tests, and athletic performance tests, while the integrated performance measurement system tracks every session with detailed reports and actionable insights to support continuous improvement.
Designed with a compact and adaptable structure, CatchPad can be mounted on any tripod or securely attached to different surfaces using suction cups, magnets, Velcro straps, or elastic bands. This makes it a practical and versatile solution among modern training equipment, with no need for additional accessories or extra setup costs.

What sensors does CatchPad have? ▶️
Tap Sensor: With 10 adjustable sensitivity levels, you decide whether a gentle touch or a powerful punch is required. Ideal for reaction training, boxing training, and various performance training scenarios.
Vibration Detection: There's no need to touch the pad directly—simply strike the surface where it's placed. Set the sensitivity to the highest level to activate this feature. Ideal for rebounders and passing boards, making reaction drills and hand-eye coordination exercises more effective.
Proximity (Distance) Sensor: No physical contact is required to deactivate the light. The sensor detects movement from 5 cm to 150 cm, making it ideal for speed training, quickness training, agility training, sprinting, acceleration, and change-of-direction drills while providing precise data through an advanced performance measurement system.
Balance Sensor: Measures the pad's angle relative to the ground with 1–10° sensitivity. It can be used on balance boards, balance balls, or while standing on one leg, helping improve balance, coordination, and overall athletic performance.
Vibration Feedback: When Balance Mode is active, the device instantly alerts users to any loss of balance through vibration, sound, and light. A green light indicates proper balance, while a red light, vibration, and sound signal when the pad tilts, helping users regain stability. Ideal for reaction testing, balance, and cognitive training.
Range of Motion (ROM): Measures how far a joint or muscle can move in different directions. It is especially useful for evaluating active range of motion and conducting performance assessment tests.
Pressure Force*: Measures lower-body pushing force, making it suitable for athletic performance testing and strength analysis.
Punch Force*: Measures punch and kick force using the Franklin unit, providing valuable performance data for boxing training and combat sports.
Relative Force: Measures punch and kick force relative to the user's body weight, delivering more accurate and personalized insights through the performance measurement system.
* Pressure Force and Punch Force sensors are available as optional add-on modules and can be integrated into the first pad of your CatchPad set.
