Football placement note

Football stays conservative.

HyperPulse is positioned for practice, evaluation, and training-grade movement context. For football, the public posture is waistband or compression-garment placement only, verified by the school, coach, event, and applicable rule set before use.

Placement boundary

Where HyperPulse should be discussed.

Center-back waistband clip

Primary football placement lane. Keep the device outside helmet conversations and inside coach-approved practice or evaluation workflows.

Compression garment option

A covered compression-garment placement may be considered only when it is secure, comfortable, and cleared by the program or event authority.

No helmet insert claim

Do not market the current Blade as helmet-mounted, protective, impact-diagnostic, or competition-approved equipment.
