What Makes It Different?

Low Density Foam Top

A thin sheet of low-density, single-cell, foam is located directly below the cover.

This is unique to this vault table and gives the table a softer feel on impact and allows athletes to do more repetitions with less impact on their joints.

Foam Block Configuration

Every block in between the two fiberglass shells has been strategically placed to maximize and distribute the rebound evenly across the entire top.

This makes the vault more consistent while still rebounding higher in every location.

Double Fiberglass Shell

The split shell is the most significant difference the new AAI EVO-ELITE® Power Vault Table and other AAI vault tops.

The split shells create a trampoline effect, resulting in more rebound.

AAI EVO-ELITE® Power Vault Table Characteristics

This new AAI vault table will redefine the standard for performance and innovation. Precisely engineered with the athlete top of mind, ensuring they receive the perfect grip and “pop” rebound that is critical during vault skills.

Precise Engineering

Say goodbye to uncertainties, as every vault attempt is met with the exact response athletes expect – empowering them to push their boundaries.

The AAI EVO-ELITE® Power Vault Table was engineered with the assistance of a retired Olympic gymnast, who helped provide feedback and create the perfect feel athletes want and expect during vaulting. This table maximizes deflection, lowering the impact force on athletes’ wrists when contacting the table. With a lower impact force and higher deflection than our previous vault table, it delivers a softer feel, reducing athlete injuries and allowing for more repetitions during training sessions.

Grip and Surface

Experience superior grip with the texture of your choice for the vault top – suede or TAC-10. The TAC-10 material is a composite leather that gives incredible grip and less slipping, while suede provides a good balance between traction and comfort. The outer edges of the vault top are covered in a breathable scuba material that permits air to escape during rebound, which then delivers a better ‘pop’ performance for the athlete.

*The Suede AAI EVO-ELITE®  Power Vault Table is FIG Approved – Pending Practical Test.

Versatile
