What competitor wouldn’t want to show off their best skills during a competition? Competition springs are generally preferred by all people involved in any competitive sport involving a trampoline as they provide the optimum level of performance. Equal performance opportunity, long-term durability, and increased rebound height are all reasons professionals recommend competition springs.
Competitive activities and/or sports involving trampolines are preferred over competitive over recreational because they provide a fair opportunity for performance. Recreational springs may overstretch during a competition because they are not designed to withstand the force that the competition must withstand. Competition springs are made with a thicker wire to resist the force. They are also designed in longer lengths to combat overstretching. The performance that the competition provides cannot be obtained with recreational springs.
Due to the design and material used to produce competition springs, they provide the highest possible rebound. The great length of the spring gives the jumper deeper penetration, which lifts the jumper higher into the air. Pros recommend DR Competition Springs for jumpers who are more concerned with getting higher in the air. These springs provide half the tension of a recreational trampoline spring, allowing for deeper penetration.
Please note that competition springs are recommended for experienced jumpers only. The standard size for these types of springs is 10.25 inches.
Before ordering for this you need to make sure you have measured the length of your trampoline springs. The length includes the hook, so when you’re measuring the spring, you want to make sure you’ve included the total length, including the hook. Replace springs that are overstretched or loose to tighten the mat, which results in a higher jump.
Trampoline springs can be separated into two main categories i.e. recreational and competition.
Recreational trampoline springs used mostly by families in their backyard and these springs come in various sizes such as 10 inches, 9 inches, 8.25 inches, 8.5 inches, 8 inches, 7.5 inches, 7.25 inches, 7 inches, 6.5 inches, 6.25 inches, 5.5 inches, 4.375 inches, 4 inches, and 3.3 inches.
Popular Performance Trampoline Springs Are Competition 10.25 inch GME and Competition 10.25-inch DR. These competitive types of springs are usually made to give them more bounce, especially for competition and events.
The main differences between recreation and competition are the quality of the material used and the tension of the springs.
