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.

SWEDISH STICKHANDLING BALL = SPEED BALL

Think of the Swedish Stickhandling ball as the ‘Speed bag’ of stickhandling training. Stickhandling is all about fast quick hands, rather than slow strong powerful movements. When used in comparison with boxing, the Swedish Stickhandling Ball correlates to the speed bag, rather than the heavy body bag that is used for slow strength. In order to develop fast hand movements, players need to practice moving their hand rapidly in quick movement patterns with this SPEED BALL.

SWEDISH STICKHANDLING BALL = FAST-TWITCH BALL

The Swedish Stickhandling Ball trains the fast twitch muscle fibers for quick hand movements verses the slow twitch muscle fibers for strength. All people are born with a certain makeup of muscle fiber types, but through proper fast training players can change the muscle fiber type up to 23%. All players need ensure that they are using the correct ball when practicing so they do not develop slow-twitch muscle fibers.

SWEDISH STICKHANDLING BALL = OVERSPEED BALL

The Swedish Stickhandling Ball is the overspeed ball for ice hockey because it is lighter than the puck. This ball moves faster than the puck on the ice, making this the BEST hockey practice ball in the world. Do not get fooled by other balls that weigh the same as the puck, because the puck slides on the slippery ice and moves at a faster glide coefficient. When a player uses a ball that weighs the same as the puck on any other surface, they are working against this extra friction producing resistance. This resistance is strength training not hand quickness.

SWEDISH STICKHANDLING BALL = NO BOUNCE

The puck does not bounce unless it is dropped improperly. Therefore, we do not want to use a ball that has bounce. Players have been trying to find a ball that moves like the puck on the ice for quite some time. So, when the N. American coaches learned about the Swedish Stickhandling Balls, and did not have access to them, they started to use a golf ball instead. Many NHL and College player have no idea why they have been using the golf ball, and when they try the Swedish Stickhandling ball they love it because it doest not bounce like all other balls do.
