When using the Stick Handling System you need the proper resistence. We have found that the inexpensive 1/2 inch foam rubber mats work the best. During our testing we used several different surfaces. Its important to keep the resistence at the proper level. If the resistence is too low, strength development cannot occur. If resistence is too high, the proper motion and proper amount of reps cannot be obtained. What we found is the following:

Concrete and other smooth fast surfaces are great for passing, but do not provide enough resistence. Your living room rug probably provides the proper resistence (we also tested these) but I'm quite sure someone in the house would'nt approve of this.

When you order our mats, you receive 2 - 2 foot square interlocking mats. This provides a 2 ft by 4 ft area to stick handle on. Not only does it provide the proper amount of resistence, but it also provides protection for the underlying surface along with tremendous sound dampening properties.

By using these mats stickhandling is no longer relegated to the cellar or garage and can be done in a family room.
