Winnwell Shooting Pad boards are made from a blend of special polymers that contain artificial ice. the slipperiness of the plate is comparable to classic ice. so you can practice shooting with a classic hockey puck without any worries. The Green Biscuit training pucks are extremely fast on the Winnwell flats . So if you want to practice the stickhandling technique, we recommend trying this combination. what is the lifetime of the plates? They are almost indestructible. with normal use (the board will be used to practice shooting or other hockey skills) it will last a lot. Wear and scratches, which must be taken into account, do not affect the excellent properties of the boards or their slip resistance. In addition, scratches and small grooves enhance the properties of classic ice, which is also not 100% smooth. But as they say, too much of anything is bad! If you have small gravel or sharp stones on the board it is always a good idea to wash and clean the board. Is any special maintenance required? It's not! No special products or polishes are used on the boards. If the board is dirty, just sweep or wipe it with a damp cloth, let it dry and you can start training again.
Middle variant - 5 mm thick board with dimensions 1,5 x 0,75 m. a portable training board with which you already have more room to manoeuvre. Shooting with a passer, stickhandling or practicing throw-ins can be done without much trouble. thanks to its dimensions and especially its thickness of 5 mm, the board is perfectly flat. You don't have to worry about any waves or bumps. Like the smaller Shooting Pad JR, the Shooting Pad Pro has a practical handle. the board cannot be rolled up, if you want a rollable board, check out the Extreme model.
The board can be used outdoors or at home. The shooting board will protect your precious hockey stick against damage as it happens on hard surfaces such as concrete or tiles. The surface of the board simulates classic ice as much as possible.
