Yah I saw that, they have a blue, red, and Black one all different weights. Just curious what would be harder to to use, the light one or the heavy one?

My stick handling definitely got better but it's something you HAVE to constantly use. If your not sure just get the ball and with practice, you should see a difference during games.
As you get more use to it, try adding some moves to make it harder and your eye/hand coordination and your reflexes will get quicker. I started out with the basic left to right stick handling as I got better I added a toe drag. I stopped practicing when I got to figure 8's. I haven't touched it in over a year and it definitely shows during my games.

Does the ball actually simulate a puck relatively well? Could you even pass it around? How's the wear on them if I were to use them on concrete?

I'm sure it is helping my hands are getting noticely better

Never thought of this but it sounds logical since golf balls do have unorthodox bounces, my concern is that it may be too light. But I'll give it a shot.
Thanks guys.
