How does SweetHands work?

Our revolutionary stickhandling trainer and best-seller, the SweetHands, takes the guess-work out of how to get young hockey players to execute proper stickhandling techniques. SweetHands was developed because using pucks or cones on the ice does NOT teach proper stickhandling. Using cones or pucks just teaches a player to push the puck around when skating.
  • By maneuvering the puck or ball in and out of SweetHands forces the player to lift their stick up and over the connecting arm and regaining control of the puck or ball.
  • Lifting your stick up and over the connecting arm, you’re delayed in recovering the puck or ball. This delay will force you to roll the wrist of your controlling hand, or top hand, to recover the puck or ball.
  • The rolling of the wrist is critical to the improvement of all stickhandling skills.
  • Stickhandling is a skill that is never perfected and must be constantly practiced, even at the college and professional levels
  • After technically mastering each individual skill, the player will advance to higher speed movement drills, as well as partner passing, utilizing forehand, backhand and saucer passing. 

Why does it work?

  • The keys to mastering any hockey skill especially stickhandling is proper technique and repetition – repetition – repetition.
  • A player can see their improvement by the efficiency of doing SweetHands.
  • The less time it takes to go forward and backwards thru the SweetHands without a mistake is a testimonial to their improvement.

 

The SweetHands stickhandling trainer is a light weight, quick and easy to assemble and disassemble, so its no problem to throw all the pieces into a small duffle bag to take to and from the rink! SweetHands is a dual purpose hockey training aid and can be used equally well in both on-iceand off-ice settings. (Only stickhandling trainer on the market that has SPIKES for ice usage….creates better stability on the ice)
