I love this channel

Aww man thank you! This def getting pinned 😁

BIGGIE CHEEZE

[@spencerprow-nemeroff802]

I’m not a hockey player but this is a very nice and very simple concept that i love :) this brought joy to my day!! also remmeber that different flooring will incur unique friction behaviors!! loved this!!

[@the_skating_scientist]

You're absolutely right bro! Different floors are def unique in their effect on puck movement. That's a great point! Thank you for bringing that up and I appreciate your support! 🫶

IDS was always my favorite, playing as a goalie in the 90's with heavy lumber I could send that thing all over town.

As a hockey player indoors is the green biscuit og fs and shooting is anyone that is durable with the bumps on the edges

[@the_skating_scientist]

That's an excellent point bro! And I agree. I think the green biscuit is also awesome outdoors.

[@williamhorsfield7787]

When I played roller we were always fighting for the pro shots at training

[@the_skating_scientist]

Oh that's interesting! At my first rink, everyone fought for the IDS ProShot. At my new rink, everyone wants a green biscuit. Thanks for sharing William!

[@tfoles9gaming631]

The Swedish stick handling ball is the best for off ice stick handling handling on a smooth surface

[@the_skating_scientist]

Oh really??? That's interesting! I'll have to look into that. I've tried a roller hockey ball and a really cool homemade stick handling ball a buddy of mine told me about (made out of shredded tennis balls and a wiffle ball). But I find that it's difficult to cup the ball with the blade and drag it without the blade just rolling over the top of it. But I'm probably just doing something wrong 😂

[@Raptor_3442]

You should try the Zeno puck

try spinning the puck while stick handling it should help keep the puck flat

Ah ok! I haven't heard his before! I'll have to give it a shot!

[@twitchvetonix]

I prefer the green biscuits.

[@the_skating_scientist]

I think the green biscuit is a good puck! I like them too. Although the yellow puck slides further, it gets knocked up on its side much easier than the green biscuit.

[@SenorDuri]

Use to use the pro guard as a kid on the road and I always thought it was the best one and nobody ever talked about it back then it was always green biscuit

[@the_skating_scientist]

Yeah the green biscuit gets a lot of attention!

My xeno puck has glided amazing on asphalt and held up so much better than the ids pro shot i had

[@the_skating_scientist]

Oh that's awesome! We use the IDS ProShot at the rink I'm at now. But I agree that it's not the best on asphalt! Have you compared the xenopuck to the green biscuit on concrete?

[@HunnerBun06]

@@the_skating_scientist I haven't tried the green biscuit. I had heard that the green biscuit would glide well but break easily so I got a universally good puck

[@Lil_fuhrky]

What if you put water on top of the ice and froze it. Your floors will be a little wet put it can slide. Performance issues may also occur though but I am no expert

[@the_skating_scientist]

Hahaha that's a great suggestion! But I wouldn't get to play on it long because my girlfriend would kill me 😂😂😂

@@the_skating_scientist it's not AMAZING but it does have weight and it's as expensive and it's fun to mess around with

[@the_skating_scientist]

@@Dude_Im-Not_Scared I'm down to try it! I've used a lot of random things to puck handle before lol When I first started really wanted to practice at home but didn't have any pucks. So while I waited for my first set of pucks to come in the mail, I dangled a can of tuna and a sink drain plug - and they're not too bad! 😂😂😂

[@louiepianta9178]

Bring your mallet rig to the rink and compare this to a puck on ice. I bet the puck lands somewhere around 4-5th place

[@the_skating_scientist]

I really want to try this! I'm curious now to compre how a puck does on ice to these plastic off ice pucks. Because if these off ice pucks are super light and slide further, then they don't truly mimic off ice conditions. Doesn't mean they aren't useful, but it would mean they're different. Thank you for bringing this up, Louie! This is awesome 🏆
