This 2" hardwood ball is the BEST tool that a player can use to develop soft, quick hands. Think of the Swedish Stickhandling ball as the "Speed bag" of stickhandling training. Use this ball 10-15 minutes a day and you will see a dramatic improvement in the player's ability to handle the puck. Every player should carry one of these balls in their hockey bag! They should use it at home, before and after practice and before the game as a warm-up to stimulate the neurological motor system. Don't be left without the training tool that is giving the other players the winning edge.
