Plyomat is a portable vertical jump mat that times ground contact to 0.001 seconds — turning every jump into real jump height, contact time, and Reactive Strength Index. Pairs with the free Plyomat 3.0 app. No subscription, ever.
A vertical jump mat — sometimes called a contact mat or switch mat — is a pressure-sensitive surface that registers the exact moment an athlete leaves the ground and the moment they land. From that flight time it calculates vertical jump height with simple physics, and across repeated jumps it measures ground contact time and Reactive Strength Index (RSI).
That is a different, far more useful number than a jump-and-reach or a Vertec. Instead of one height off a wall, you get the full reactive picture: how high, how fast off the ground, and how that changes across a set, a session, or a season. Plyomat's Controller 3.0 times contact to 0.001 seconds, the precision that makes RSI and reactive testing trustworthy.
Vertical displacement computed from flight time on every contact — clean, repeatable, no tape on the wall.
Ground-contact time to 0.001s — the foundation of reactive strength and plyometric quality.
Jump height ÷ contact time. The single best field marker of explosive, elastic athleticism. Learn about RSI →
Left/right and dynamic reactive imbalances that flag return-to-play risk before it becomes injury.
Track an athlete's reactive profile across modes and sessions to program with real data, not guesses.
Numbers appear the instant they land, on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, or web — roster, reports, and leaderboard included.
Lab-grade reactive data at field price — and it fits in a bag.
