Diamond Air Mannequin® Patented Inflatable Football Training Mannequin | 6ft 1in
The benchmark for inflatable training obstacles, the Diamond Air Mannequin® (6ft 1in) delivers professional-grade performance for set-piece routines, crossing drills, and tactical grid work. Engineered with Diamond's patented stud-resistant outer casing and high-quality latex bladder, this standard 6ft 1in model is built to absorb relentless ball strikes and cleat impacts. Supplied with dual base options, it allows coaches to customize stability—filling the heavy-duty rubber base with water for a dynamic, rock-about defender simulation, or utilizing the included sandbag for a solid, locked-in presence.
-
Dual Modular Weighting System: Supplied with two versatile empty bases—fill the rubber base with water for a dynamic, self-righting "rock-about" sway that mimics a defender, or fill the empty sandbag with approximately 15kg of sand for a rigid, stationary wall.
-
Patented Stud-Resistant Build: Combines an ultra-tough nylon outer casing with a high-quality internal latex bladder to withstand direct boot cleats, heavy ball impact, and daily high-intensity academy use.
-
Upgraded Specialised Air Valve: Features an improved high-retention valve system engineered to maintain optimal inflation pressure throughout long training sessions.
-
Portable & Deflatable Design: Deflates easily for compact transport and storage in kit bags or vehicle boots, making it ideal for travelling coaches and away-fixture warmups.
-
Three High-Visibility Colours: Available in classic Red, Blue, or Yellow with updated season graphics for clear visual differentiation on the pitch.
-
Full Spare Part Support: Supported with replacement parts for any worn or damaged components, extending product lifespan and protecting team investment.
-
British Design & European Patent: Designed and developed by Diamond in Great Britain with full European patent protection (EP15730212.6, USA patent pending).
