It trains the twist
A torsion spring that fights back as you dig, and takes the ball the moment you ease off. That's a live opponent, not a static target.

Other draw trainers are big, heavy floor platforms. DrawMate is small, portable, clamps onto any post, and is built around the move that decides the draw.

Ball pops into the air: you won. Ball stays in DrawMate's pocket: go again. No guessing, no partner needed.
Small enough to carry in one hand. Squeeze the clamp onto any standard post or goal: no floor platform, no weight plates.
Snap your lacrosse head onto the universal shaft and every rep has the exact pocket you draw with in games.
$400 with free shipping, less than the floor-platform trainers above.
