You can buy the most technologically advanced ball or biscuit and spend $100, but if you're practicing on ashphalt, it makes no difference. You will have to find surfaces like smooth cement or linoleum but by then, pretty much all cheap balls or biscuits will have their bounce neutralized as well.

I understand where you're coming from, nothing will ever compare to the real thing but ice/rink time is just not an option for me right now. The convenience of being able to practise at home or in the alley is what i'm looking for because let's face it, ice/rink time costs too much and I probably wouldn't be doing it everyday. Basically I would just like to improve my stick handling whenever possible and maybe have a buddy to pass back and forth to.
Is the Stickhandling ball and the FLYPUCK strickly for stickhandling and not passing? I know shooting is out of the question, just curious about passing? Oh and what weighed puck would be more beneficial for me?
