Things in Common
Although both of these inversion table models come with different features that set them apart, they also have a number of things in common.
Due to these models both being made by the same company, they both have similar Innova features. Here are a few things that both inversion table options have in common.
Both of these Innova inversion table models are made to handle up to 300 pounds of weight on them safely and securely. This allows for heavier inverters to get the back-pain relief from an injury with the promise of safety that comes with Innova products.
Both of these options also allow for the same height limits and are made to be able to hold one person between the height of 4 feet 10 inches and 6 feet 6 inches tall.
This is done by adjusting the headrest to the desired height of the person and the ankle rests to the leg length of the inverter so that they rest comfortably against the leg without strain.
Both the Innova ITX9600 and the ITX9700 also have the same 6-position safety pin system that allows you to choose the desired angle of your inversion.
Unlike previous methods, this feature is an added safety measure that is a safer option than the previous one, Velcro straps, which could come undone and change the angle unexpectedly.
These inversion table models both have the Innova True Balance System which enables its users to get on and off the machine with ease. This is done by moving the headrest and the height adjustment tube so you can find your center of gravity easily.
With other tables, you may struggle to get back into the upright position and end up pulling yourself back up with the handlebars. This way, you avoid having to do that.
Product Differences
Although both of these inversion tables have a few things in common, they are not made exactly the same. There are a few major differences that can be seen from the Innova ITX9600 to the Innova ITX9700 that set these two inversion tables apart.
2-Way Adjustment System
The Innova ITX9700 comes with two different ways of adjusting the table for maximum comfort. There is an adjustable headrest and an adjustable height setting that allows the user to fit them just right.
These customizable settings make sure that whatever your needs are while inverting is taken care of by being able to adjust to the exact form and angle you want.
The headrest makes sure that your head is situated against the pad so that it is comfortable enough to invert for a longer period of time and the adjustable height settings allow you to change the leg length of the ankle holders so that they are neither too high, nor too low on the leg.
Extended Handle For Ankle Holders
The ITX9700 features a longer ankle locking system with front and rear U-shaped holders for a secure, safer inversion. This allows you to easily access the ankle holders from an upright position and makes taking off the ankle rest even easier than before.
The ankle rests are U-shaped so that they don’t cut into your legs even while you are inverted and allow you to stay inverted comfortably for a longer time.
The extended bar can also be used to help you get into an upright position if you choose to use your body weight instead of the safety bars. This will let you push up yourself and just use the handle to steady yourself once you are mostly upright.
Memory Foam Lumbar Pad
The Innova ITX9700 has an extra comfortable memory foam lumbar pad that gives an extra lift to your lower back while inverting.
This keeps your lower back in a perfect position to get the best stretch possible and makes it easy on your back by giving it more support and comfort than the other models.
The memory foam helps your back to sink into the material and get a deeper stretch while inverted without having to change the inversion angle.
Verdict
Although both of these Innova inversion table models have many great features, the ITX9700 still comes out ahead of the ITX9600.
The memory foam lumbar pad and the extended ankle holder handles make this the most innovative and unique inversion table of the two, and the safety pins and adjustable settings allow more inverters to use it confidently.
So, it is clear to see why the ITX9700 model is the best of the best.
