Smarthockey Smart Hockey 12oz MAXX Heavy Hockey Training Ball - GREY STRONGER FOREARMS AND WRISTS FOR A HARDER, QUICKER SHOT AND BETTER PUCK CONTROL: Have you ever seen a picture of Gordie Howes forearms? Or how about Rick Nashs, Ovechkins or Teemu Selannes forearms? Well they all look like Popeyes forearms after hes eaten spinach and they could all fire the puck. You want a wrist shot as hard as theirs? Then you have to work at it. Take 100 shots and stickhandle for 15 minutes with the Smarthockey Heavy Ball every night and youll be on your way. 2X THE WEIGHT WITH SAME BOUNCE, SLIDE & CONTACT HEIGHT AS AN ICE HOCKEY PUCK: At just over 8 oz (228 g), the MAXX is almost double the weight of the Smarthockey ORIGINAL Training Ball and feels twice as heavy as an ice hockey puck. The contact height 1.09" which is less than one tenth of an inch higher than an ice hockey puck. The added weight combined with the roll and contact height of the MAXX ball strengthens a player's wrists simply by stickhandling and shooting it. PATENTED 2-PIECE WEIGHTED HOCKEY TRAINING BALL: Theres a lot of technology in this weighted ball. First, we used the same cut-proof Surlyn that is used in our Original Smarthockey Ball. Then we used a stainless steel core to add the weight. The combination of the shell and the core created a size to weight ratio that earned us a patent. Its the only ball that rolls as smoothly as a puck slides on ice, but is so heavy that it strengthens your wrists when you shoot or stickhandle it. ONLY WEIGHTED TRAINING BALL DURABLE ENOUGH FOR STICK HANDLING, SHOOTING & PASSING: We wanted players to be able to work on their stickhandling, shooting and passing, so we knew our ball had to be durable. We made the cover with the same Surlyn formula that was used in Titleist golf balls back in 1997. We chose this formula because its slap shot proof. Since 2001, weve only had a handful of balls returned and most of them were because they arent dog-proof.
