The SmartHockey THE ORIGINAL Stick Handling Training Balls are the ideal off-ice training tool for any hockey player. For years European and Soviet players have used wooden stickhandling balls before games and for off-ice skills training to develop lightning-quick soft hands.

With advances in space-age materials, SmartHockey patented a stick handling and shooting ball which even more closely replicates an ice hockey puckR019s weight, bounce co-efficient, slide co-efficient, and height at which the puck contacts the stick. The patented, two-piece dynamic core technology feels so much like an ice hockey puck that pro, collegiate, and high school players across North America are using the ball as an essential part of their off-ice skills development.

Specifications

Dynamic Core Patented two-piece ball technology combines surlyn shell with high-density, low rebound space-age thermoplastic core giving the training ball the exact feel of an ice hockey puck. The solid core covered by the surlyn shell eliminates any pliancy or "smushing" of the ball between the stick and the skating surface whether you're training on a tennis court, basketball court, paved street, driveway, or down in your basement.
Weight The ball is lighter than an ice hockey puck, sitting at 4.3 ounces to compensate for the extra friction of off-ice surfaces. The difference in weight makes the ball "feel" like a puck, which makes it perfect for developing lightning-quick hands for puck control, shooting, and passing.
Height The diameter of the ball is 2.1875" making the height at which it contacts the stick 1.09" which is less than one-tenth of an inch higher than an ice hockey puck. The tangent point combined with the weight of the ball tricks the player's muscle memory into thinking they are working with an ice hockey puck.
Bounce The high-density low rebound core has approximately the same bounce coefficient as a frozen ice hockey puck. Dropped from a vertical distance of three feet; a frozen ice hockey puck, the SmartHockey stickhandling and shooting ball only bounce 11". This gives the ball the same "dead" feeling of an ice hockey puck against your stick.
Slide The surlyn shell rolls or slides over any surface at any temperature at the same rate that a puck slides on fresh ice without becoming pliant or "smushy" making it perfect to develop quick, soft hands necessary to become a good stick handler.

Comments: Awesome taught me toe drags and easy to use inside, even on carpets.
From: Alex, CT

Comments: Works well and has a decent feel. Works on all surfaces (even carpet), but it feels a little slower than a puck on ice or the green biscuit; toe drags feel slow. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to work on their hands off ice.
From: Matt, IL

Comments: Great for off-ice training.
From: Travis, VA

Comments: Good product. Great for stick handling around the house. Helps with developing fast hands and muscle memory. I like the weight and that it does not bounce around. It does not have the same feel or behavior of a puckÉItÕs a ball. I use this in conjunction with other products to work on stick handling.
From: Nick

Comments: This ball is great for practicing stick-handling in an apartment or in a garage. I like to just go back and forth with it and my stick while watching TV. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for something to practice with.
From: William FL

Comments: I like the weight combined with the ease of use that comes with it being a ball.
From: Ryan, NC

Comments: This training device would be last on my list, With the wooden ball in first and green biscuit in second. I do have all three, this one wasnt my favorite. I dont know why, maybe i like the stickhandling balls to be lighter and pucks heavier. Not sure, its all preference, still a good aid though.
From: Peter 

Comments: I got this ball for stick handling practice in close quarters (my garage), & it works perfectly for that purpose. The added weight makes it more realistic, or puck-like. Great value, second only to the Green Biscuit
