Callieway Pro A-Frame
The Callieway Pro A-Frame is positioned as the premium competition-grade contact obstacle, featuring reinforced panels and adjustable peak settings that deliver long-term durability and consistent contact zones for serious trainers. It commands a higher price but offers technical advantages in stability and weather resistance compared with the lighter, more portable options like Clip and Go and the budget-friendly Affordable Agility see-saw. For clubs focused on competition reliability and lower lifecycle maintenance costs, Callieway’s build quality justifies the investment over cheaper alternatives.

Affordable Agility ProPlan See-Saw
The Affordable Agility ProPlan See-Saw is the best-value choice for clubs and new handlers focused on cost-effective contact obstacle training, offering a functional, easy-to-assemble plank at a significantly lower upfront cost. While it lacks the advanced materials and competition-grade tolerances of Callieway or J&J products, its affordability and straightforward maintenance make it ideal for beginner classes and community programs. Compared to MAD Agility’s aluminum option, Affordable Agility trades weight and long-term corrosion resistance for accessible pricing and simple replacement parts.
