DYNAMIC CORE: Patented two-piece ball technology combines a dimpled Surlyn shell with a solid steel core, giving players a training ball that feels exactly like an ice hockey puck. This dynamic core combination eliminates any pliancy or "smushing" of the ball between the stick and the training surface whether it's the locker room floor, paved street, or down in your basement.
WEIGHT: The ball is lighter than an ice hockey puck, sitting at 5.1 ounces to compensate for the extra friction when used on off-ice surfaces. This "incremental weight" caused by the friction simulates the exact weight of a 6 oz puck, which makes it perfect for developing super-soft hands for better stickhandling, shooting, and passing control. The dimpled shell and bright color help players with auditory feedback and peripheral vision.
HEIGHT: The diameter of the ball is 1.68", making the profile lower than the Original off-ice ball which helps players develop even faster, softer hands than ever before. 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 combination of the shell and solid steel core matches the "dull" bounce of a frozen ice hockey puck against the blade of your stick.
SLIDE: The tear-resistant Surlyn shell rolls over any surface as quickly as a puck slides on a fresh sheet of ice. This helps players transition from off-ice training to on-ice play without noticing a difference.
