Not all off-ice roller hockey pucks are created equal. Join me as I test 9 popular pucks in my quest to determine the best puck EVER! In this first experiment I determine which hockey puck glides the furthest.

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! 🫶

The Swedish stick handling ball is the best for off ice stick handling handling on a smooth surface
@the_skating_scientistАй бұрын
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 😂

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.

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_scientistАй бұрын
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 🏆
