Starting Blocks
All our starting blocks are adjustable forward and backward for foot separation and have adjustable angles for the footplates. The blocks are secured to the synthetic tracks by 9mm or 11mm spikes underneath and may be used on grass if 6" nails are put through holes in the centre plates. All have a synthetic polymer pad on the footplate.
