The distance between nails (pitch) is the main feature that differs Sadhu nail boards for beginners and advanced practitioners. For people with a low pain threshold, it is recommended to start with a nail board of 8mm. However, based on our experience, the majority of beginners can easily start with a nail board of 10 mm. It is the standard pitch we use in all our METADESK nail boards.

The pitch is the distance between nails on the Sadhu nail board. To be more specific, the shorter the distance between nails, the easier it is to stand on the nail board. And vice versa. The longer the pitch, the harder it is to practice on such a nail board. Sometimes, beginners, and women, in particular, opt for boards with a pitch of 8 mm to avoid pain. The optimal pitch for beginners (both men and women) is 10 mm. A nail board with a pitch of 12 mm is okay for beginners who practice nail board standing regularly. 15 mm is a perfect pitch for advanced practitioners using the nail board on a daily basis.

Well, the main downside you may face is the lack of desire to stand on the Sadhu nail board! Pregnant women and women at the beginning of their menstrual cycle are not recommended to use the nail board. At the same time, people with heart conditions and heart insufficiency shouldn’t use the Sadhu nail board. Those who suffered strokes and heart attacks in the past six months should abstain from using the Sadhu nail board too. People having acute body pains, and open wounds on their feet, as well as individuals under substances including alcohol, are not recommended to use the nail board.

Neither of these parameters can affect the quality of your practice, hence you may choose any type you want. For our METADESK nail boards, we calibrate the height of nails to make them all even. This is a very important factor to ensure your comfort during the practice. In case the height of nails is uneven in different parts of the board, you may feel all sorts of discomfort. The thickness of the nails we chose for our METADESK nail boards is 2 mm. From our experience, this is the optimal thickness for a pleasant practice experience.

Sadhu nail boards you may find online can be made from wood, plywood, rubber, or even plastic. For our METADESK nail boards, we use plywood. We believe this material is the most durable and suitable for Sadhu Nail boards. Due to the structure of plywood (made of several layers of wood), it is great for enduring big loads and doesn’t change its initial shape with time. Plywood is also an allergy-friendly material known to be used in the production of furniture for children, hence totally safe for everyday use.

All nails used in our nail boards include the following: galvanized, brass-coated, copper, and bamboo nails. Each material has its own properties and benefits. Galvanized nails are the best option for beginners. Brass-coated nails are very durable as they encompass both properties of brass and metal for a more profound practice. Copper nails are great for everyday practice and have the highest vibration compared to other metals. Sadhu copper nail boards are recommended for advanced practitioners. Bamboo nails are the best option for travelers as they are lightweight (400 grams!) They are pleasant to the touch and unlike metal nails, they are warm. At the same time, bamboo nails exude vital live energy compared to their metal counterparts.
