I built it because I needed it, too.<\/h2><\/div>
<\/p>\n

I\u2019m Allan Sklar. I\u2019ve spent 50 years designing badminton equipment, including the Knight Trainer automatic feeding machines that coaches around the world still use today.<\/p>\n

At 70 years old, training with my own Knight Trainer on the badminton court, I was scattering hundreds of shuttlecocks every session. Hand-stacking couldn\u2019t keep up. I was spending more time on the floor reloading than on my feet hitting.<\/p>\n

So I built the first STAXX for myself. Then coaches tried it. Then clubs. Then parents feeding shuttles to their kids. Everyone had the same reaction \u2013 this saves real time, real energy, and keeps badminton sessions moving.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it exists. Not because someone needed a new product. Because coaches, players, and parents needed this one.<\/p>\n
