I'd say get it only if it's inexpensive. However inexpensive is very subjective though. At least for me $30 isn't much of a set back whereas it may be to others.

Your right, my gains is from consistent practice. But I practice at home, on my carpet, and roller pucks/ice pucks don't glide very good on carpet. lol. So this hockey ball was perfect.

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?

I've never used it on concrete, but I don't see it lasting very long on concrete. As far as I know you can use the ball to pass as well. I don't think it's that close to the dimensions of an ice puck like they advertise though.
Yes, golf balls work too. Although they are a bitch to use while on the ice. haha
