Shooting pad
Product was packaged perfectly. A little thinner then I was expecting but the length is and nice and should still get the job done it was bought for.

Portable, lightweight, slick surface shooting pad.
Work on shooting, stickhandling, and passing at home without damaging your stick.
Excellent puck glide and no messy sprays required. Beveled edges for easy puck retrieval. Built to withstand extreme temps. Made in USA!
Drop down on concrete, driveway, wood, rubber flooring, carpet, or grass. Great with pucks, biscuits, or balls.
Lightweight, easy to carry with laser-etched handle, and easily store along garage wall or closet when not in use. Can handle vehicle weight too.
Both products have a slick surface, and will protect your stick and floor.
We note three key differences: portability, and training area size, but the decision about which is best for your player is up to you!
Portability
The shooting pads are designed to be carried to a training spot, dropped down, and carried back somewhere else to store. Even a 6 year-old can do this.
The dryland tiles may be carried to and from an area, but are slightly heavier and require more effort to assemble, so most customers leave the tiles permanently in a training area.
2) Training size
The small pad is 24" x 48" which great for all aspects of a U10 player and shooters of all ages, but offers limited stickhandling range of motion for taller players.
In contrast, the tiles are expandable, so as players grow you can create a larger area.
Multiple pads can be placed near each other to create a larger surface, but there's no connection system.
Yes! The pad has UV-coated materials, is temperature and moisture resistant, and can handle vehicle weight.
It can also be used on grass, street, gravel, or any other ground type.
We suggest wiping the playing surface with a cloth from time to time to remove debris, rocks, etc.
The shooting pad can temporarily develop a curved "bow-like" effect if stored somewhere besides on a hard surface.
This is normal, and a result of its thin profile and light product weight.
Fortunately, this also corrects itself with no effort. Once the unit is returned to a hard flat surface, gravity prevails the shooting pad gradually retains its flat shape.
Nope! The materials are highly-engineered to provide a slick surface right out of the box, and will retain those properties over time.
That said, we don't believe any sprays will harm the surface, so if you want to experiment with even more slipperiness then you can certainly do so.
