This device has been amazing in improving my shot. It has made it much, much harder and faster. Whether it is in the garage, shooting pucks, or during practice, it has really improved the velocity of my shot! Everyone should give it a try.

Kurtis Foster (101mph)

AHL All Star game, winner of the hardest shot competition

"On or off the ice, when you have a little extra time, slip on the The Complete Shot. With a puck or ball, you will be able to gain quicker hand speed. This will help you become a better stickhandler and there is nothing better than being a magician, with the puck, during a game. It is terrific for everyone."

Billy Gardner

Chicago Wolves (AHL)

"I have seen top NHL players for years tape puck after puck on the ends of their blades so they can stickhandle in the locker room before games. When I saw "The complete shot" for the 1st time, I knew this would be perfect for ALL players, and not just in the room. We have had our entire Bantam AA team use them on the ice in practice and have seen immediate results with their shooting, passing and strength on the puck. If you want to be a better player, this product is perfect.

IMPROVE YOUR STICK HANDLING AND PUCK CONTROL

Recently I was asked to recommend well-proved equipment to improve young players' stick handling and shot accuracy. I found this one to be the best. Play this video, decide you self:



TAPE 2 TAPE PASSER



Product Features:

•Train without a partner.

•Increase ability and confidence.

•Less wear and tear on expensive hockey sticks.

•Affordable gift to get players up off the couch.

•Easy to set up, maintain, & store.

•No more tape marks on the driveway or floor.

•Durable- made of the same material as ice rink boards.



The biggest advantage to TAPE-2-TAPE is the ability to set it up on any angle to simulate real game situations. It can be set up on a 45 angle to simulate a pass coming from the corner of the rink. At a 90 angle it will simulate a point to point pass or you can position the TAPE-2-TAPE in the net and simulate rebounds.

Like an actual game, the puck is constantly in motion with TAPE-2-TAPE and it gives the flexibility to practice game situations in the back yard or basement without the need of a partner to feed passes. TAPE-2-TAPE also teaches players to get the shots on net more quickly, a necessity in competitive hockey.

The Tape-2-Tape manufacturer does not recommend filling the unit with water or sand anymore. It may leak.

HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR STICK LIE, LENGTH AND SHAFT STIFFNESS

DETERMINING YOUR STICK LIE

The lie is the angle between the blade and the shaft
A lie number is printed on the front of the stick's shaft and ranges from 4 to 8
The higher the number, the narrower the angle between the blade and the shaft. The smaller the number, the wider the angle. For example, a lie 4 stick has a wide handle-to-blade angle, while a lie 8 has a smaller angle.
As a rule, lower lie angle sticks are used for players who skate low to the ice and carry the puck out in front of them
Lies 7 and 8 are for players who skate upright and carry the puck close to their skates
One way to determine if you have the proper lie is to examine your old stick
If the blade is worn on the toe, you should try a higher lie
If your stick is worn on the heel, you should try a lower lie
If the blade wears evenly, you are using the correct lie

DETERMINING THE PROPER SHAFT STIFNESS

The stiffness, or flex, of a stick's shaft is important in determining control and performance
Most stick shafts come in flexes of medium (85 stiffness), stiff measurement, or extra stiff (up to 110 stiff)
Beginning players should look for a light stick with a medium stiffness rating
Bigger, stronger players should choose a stick with a stiffer flex
Defensemen should choose a stiffer, heavier stick, while forwards should choose a lighter, more flexible shaft

DETERMINING THE STICK LENGTH

Since it is very difficult to control an oversized or undersized stick, the length of your hockey stick must be correct for your size
Hockey sticks come in two basic sizes: junior and senior
Junior sticks are generally between 46 - 54 inches long
Senior stick are generally between 56 - 62 inches long
Offensive players usually have a slightly shorter stick for better puck control
Defensive players generally have a longer stick which is good for poking the puck away from an oncoming forward
You will probably not be able to find a stick that is the exact right size. Generally buy your stick a little long so that you can cut it down to the perfect fit
To determine the proper stick length:
Stand in your skates
Put the toe of the stick on the ground
The stick should reach somewhere between your chin and the tip of your nose
Hockey regulations do not permit sticks longer than 63 inches from the heel (where the stick meets the blade) to the end of the shaft
