About this course

Fast hands are the least important part of puck control. Posture decides your reach, eye position decides what you can see, and deception decides whether the defender commits.

This course spends more time on where your elbows and eyes are than on how quickly you can move a puck side to side — and the result is a player who keeps the puck under pressure rather than one who looks good doing drills alone.

Deception module is worth the membership on its own

The soft drag shows up in three courses here and after using it for a month I understand why. Small, cheap, and defenders bite every time.

Almost none of it is hand speed

Completely changed what I practise. I had been doing stickhandling drills alone for years and getting stripped in games, and the posture and eye position lessons explained exactly why.
