Pitch6 Force Board Alternative: How Entralpi Compares
Last Updated:
While the Pitch6 Force Board is a dedicated smart block for isometric pulls, Entralpi is designed to turn your existing hangboard into a full training station with zero rigging. Plus, Entralpi's precision is validated by independent studies (0.41% accuracy).
At a Glance: The Core Differences
| Feature | Entralpi | Pitch6 Force Board |
|---|---|---|
| Form Factor | Universal Ground Plate | Inline Pull Sensor |
| Works with ANY Hangboard? | Yes | No (Standalone Block) |
| Overhead Rigging Needed? | No (Drop & Pull) | Yes (For hangs/pulls) |
| Portable for Travel? | Yes | Yes |
| Automated Weakness Diagnostics? | Yes | Yes |
| Free App & Open Data? | Yes | Freemium |
Battle 1
Does it work with any hangboard or grip?
- The Problem:
- The Pitch6 Force board is an inline sensor and works only with portable boards.
- The Entralpi Solution:
- Entralpi decouples the sensor from the grip. Because it measures force at your feet, you can use it with literally any grip or hangboard in existence. It is completely universal.
Battle 2
How fast is the setup speed, and does it require overhead rigging?
- The Problem:
- To use the force board for overhead pulls, you have to rig it to a fixed anchor using straps and carabiners, adjusting the height every time you change your pulling stance.
- The Entralpi Solution:
- Entralpi sits on the floor. Zero carabiners, zero daisy chains, and zero setup time. Just step on the plate and grab your existing board.
Battle 3
Do I need a membership to access my training data?
- The Problem:
- The Pitch6 app offers basic features for free, but limits some advanced training features or data analysis behind a freemium model.
- The Entralpi Solution:
- The Entralpi app is completely free to use with no hidden subscription fees. You get access to fully customizable training plans and protocols without hitting a paywall.
Who Should Buy Which?
The honest verdict. We're not for everyone, and that's okay.
Choose Pitch6 Force Board if:
- You prefer an inline sensor that attaches to your own portable boards and slings.
- You don't mind rigging your setup to a fixed anchor for different pulling exercises.
- You are satisfied with a freemium app that provides basic force measurement capabilities.
Choose Entralpi if:
- You want to turn any existing hangboard or setup into a smart training station without any rigging.
- You want highly accurate, scientifically validated measurements using a closed kinetic chain.
- You want a completely free app with full access to customizable training plans and data analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Entralpi more accurate than the Pitch6 Force Board?
While many devices claim to be accurate, the Pitch6 Force Board has no published independent validation to verify their claims. Entralpi is built to scientific research standards and its precision is backed by independent scientific studies, showing a mean relative error of just 0.41% (0.05kg).
Can I use Entralpi if I already own a Pitch 6 force board?
Absolutely. Entralpi allows various measurements not possible with the force board. You have a full training station from your hangboards, can train jams in crack training systems, etc. Furthermore, Entralpi measures strength in closed kinetic chain which translates better to climbing and eliminates errors from pendulum swings or friction often associated with the force board.
How does Entralpi differ from the Pitch6 Force Board?
The Pitch6 Force Board is a specialized, all-in-one smart block that you pull on directly. Entralpi is a ground-based force plate that measures your force from below, allowing you to use *any* hangboard, crimp block, or pinch block you already own.
Can I use Entralpi for pinch strength testing like a portable block?
Absolutely. Simply stand on the Entralpi plate and lift any heavy object or dedicated pinch block. The plate measures the exact ground reaction force, providing highly accurate pinch strength data without needing the sensor inside the block itself.
Which device is better for a home wall setup?
If you already have a hangboard mounted at home, Entralpi is the clear winner. You don't need to rig straps or carabiners—just place Entralpi on the floor under your board and pull.
