Why coaches switch from Just Jump

The Just Jump System has been a fixture in weight rooms for years — a contact mat wired to a small timer that reads an athlete's flight time and reports a vertical jump height. It is simple, proven, and a lot of coaches learned to test on it. That heritage is exactly why a modern Just Jump alternative should feel familiar, not foreign.

Where the original stops at a number on a handheld display, today's coaches want the data to keep going: into a roster, into season-long reports, onto a leaderboard the team can see. They also want reactive metrics — contact time and Reactive Strength Index — not just height. Plyomat is the modern upgrade. The Controller 3.0 times ground contact to 0.001 seconds across 8 assessment modes, runs about two weeks per charge, and connects to the mat by cable. Every result flows into the free Plyomat 3.0 app instead of disappearing after the rep.

It is the same kind of testing you already trust, with precise hardware, real software, and no recurring cost as a Just Jump replacement.

Questions

Just Jump alternative FAQ

Is Plyomat a good alternative to the Just Jump System?
Yes. The Just Jump System is a well-established contact-mat timer that coaches have trusted for years to measure vertical jumps. Plyomat is built for the same job with modern hardware and software: the Controller 3.0 times ground contact to 0.001 seconds, runs about two weeks per charge, and pairs with a free app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, and the web. You get the familiar jump-mat workflow plus rosters, reports, and reactive metrics the original system never produced.
Can I keep my Just Jump testing workflow?
Yes. Plyomat includes a dedicated Just Jump mode, so coaches moving from the Just Jump System keep a familiar testing workflow. Athletes step on the mat and jump exactly as before, and the Controller 3.0 reads each jump. The difference is what happens after: results land in the free Plyomat 3.0 app instead of on a small handheld display, ready for the roster, leaderboard, and reports.
Does Plyomat measure the same metrics as Just Jump?
Plyomat measures everything a contact-mat system is known for and more. It reports jump height, ground contact time, and flight time, then adds Reactive Strength Index (jump height divided by contact time), asymmetry, DRI, and a Power Profile. With contact timed to 0.001 seconds across 8 assessment modes, the reactive numbers are precise enough for serious testing, not just a single jump height.
Do I need a subscription?
No. The Plyomat 3.0 app is free for every hardware owner. There is no subscription, no per-athlete fee, and no recurring software cost. You buy the mats and Controller once and the app, including rosters, reports, leaderboard, and live display, stays free.
How much does it cost to switch?
Individual switch mats start at $200, and a complete portable system with two mats, the Controller 3.0, and cables is $950. The mats are durable polyurethane and the controller is designed and built in the USA. Every option includes the free Plyomat 3.0 app, so there are no software costs on top of the hardware.

Upgrade the mat. Keep the workflow.

Make the move from the Just Jump System without relearning a thing. Precise modern hardware, a free app, and a Just Jump mode that feels like home.
