It’s simple, really. Anytime you make things harder on yourself during training, you’re making it easier on yourself in the game. Baseball players have used a weighted “doughnut” in the on-deck circle for years. Now hockey players can employ the same philosophy in their workouts with The Complete Shot (www.thecompleteshot.com).
By incorporating added resistance to the natural shooting and puckhandling techniques, players will add to their muscle and hand quickness. This will create not only a stronger more powerful shot, but also quicker hands and wrists, enabling them improve their mechanics much more rapidly than with ordinary practice.
Simply slide the desired number of weight bars into the sleeves on the inside of the wrap and cover the sleeves, locking the weight bars in. Flip the cover over the sleeve, place the wrap on the stick shaft just above the stick blade and secure it with the Velcro strips and you’re ready to work out as usual. Anyone from Pee-Wee on up can use The Complete Shot.
Try taking twenty shots with The Complete Shot, then hit one without it. The stick is light as a feather. Your hands and wrists feel like Popeye’s. And you’ll believe you’ve got an NHL slap shot the next time you strike the puck.
