English term or phrase: Skia Sweetspot Trainers

Bonjour à tous,

je suis en train de traduire un manuel de ski de l'anglais au français et j'ai quelques difficultés à traduire un terme qui revient assez fréquemment dans le document.

Il s'agit de "Skia Sweetspot Trainers". Voici une phrase pour vous mettre un peu dans le contexte :
"The Sweetspot trainers are designed to challenge your balance, so please be careful in your first couple of sessions, until you become used to balancing on them."

J'ai d'abord pensé à des chaussures spécifiques permettant de travailler l'équilibre mais étant donné qu'il faut ensuite enfiler des chaussures de ski par-dessus, ça me paraissait peu probable.

J'ai ensuite pensé qu'il pouvait peut-être s'agir d'un simulateur de ski mais dans ce cas, pourquoi utiliser le terme "trainer" au pluriel ?

Est-ce que vous pensez que le terme "simulateur d'équilibre Skia" pourrait convenir ?

Merci d'avance pour vos réponses et bonne journée !

Isabelle

how to find the sweet spot for your ski bindings

"Binding Mount Position

Your skis will come marked with the manufacturers suggestions as to the best position for mounting the ski bindings. Keep in mind that this position might vary according to the brand of ski. There are three positions used for binding mounts. Of the three, the central position is the most common. This position keeps your center of gravity over the sweet spot of your skis. In the forward mount position, your center of gravity is in front of the sweet spot. This position is often used by women as a means of counteracting their tendency to be in the backseat. The rear mount position keeps your center of gravity behind the sweet spot of the ski. This position is hardly ever used. However, some advanced skiers believe that this position is beneficial for powder skiers. Keep in mind that this is a controversial theory. You should only use this this type of mount if you've experimented, and had success with it while demoing rental skis. "
