Miller Flyball is proud to introduce the new Miller Elite (Engineered Low Impact Technology Enhancement) Flyball Box. This light weight (27 lbs) box helps to absorbs the impact of the dog hitting the box. Available at www.millerflyball.com and www.dogshirtstore.com.
If the dogs do swimmer's turns, you don't really need to focus on the box absorbing the impact.

this has nothing to do with the box itself but the way the dog turns. There's a new and safer way to train a box turn, called a swimmers turn, as this kind of box "turn" has actually proved injuries to dogs. The swimmers turn consists of the dogs putting all 4 paws on the box and it has also proved to be at least 2-3 seconds quicker. I thought i would give a little knowledge since the video is 2yrs old!

I'd like to see the box impact a lot more energy & think they need to be totally redesigned with the dogs interest first.

I would LOVE to see more video of this type. I'd like to see a dog with a good turn. The dog in this video is inconsistent (very) -- he turns left on the wood box, and it looks like a train wreck because the ball is set for a right turn. The turn on the Elite box is much better because he actually does turn right. But my dog has a great turn on a wood box -- I would like a visual of how this box could improve on it!
