1. Hand and wrist strength
A heavier puck requires more force to move, especially in short, precise motions. This improves:• Wrist strength• Grip strength• Forearm muscles
2. Stickhandling control
A metal puck makes dribbling (stickhandling) more difficult, which:• Improves coordination• Reaction speed• Refines stick and puck synchronization
3. Shot power and technique
Training with a metal puck develops:• A stronger shot when switching back to the standard puck • Force transfer from the body to the stick • Improves explosiveness of the shot
4. Shoulder and back muscle endurance
Repeated work with a heavier puck also activates:• Shoulder girdle• Upper back• Core muscles
