That sounds reasonable but I don't think it accomplishes the end goal.

Modern speed training is focused on one thing - if you want to be fast you need to train fast. Training slow(er) with weights does not accomplish the goal of being faster without weights.

If you want to get fast, sprint.

If you want fast hands for stick handling, if anything, go with lighter weight and move faster than you would with regular weight.

You are training your central nervous system moreso than your muscles. If you arms are strong enough to lift a composite stick, making them stronger is not going to make them faster.

If stronger muscles led to faster movements baseball pitchers would have huge bulking arms to throw the ball harder. 

My two cents! 

 

i think for me i want to develop a stronger top hand and which allow me to be stronger on the puck. I find i have a weak top hand and can't move the puck as quick as i like when i have just the top hand on the stick while i use my other arm to defend a check. I do also see pros are using weighted stick not just for stickhandling and shooting as well. much like a weighted bat for a baseball player before hitting the mount.

What are people take on these? The GELSTX looks awesome but its a bit pricey. Has anyone tried to DIY their own by taking a old one piece and filled the inside with different materials to make it heavier? I added one with water and it make it heavier but not sure if that's good for the stick.

The thing is that's mostly their marketing objective, being so wild and diferent of the traditional hockey world, while still offering a great product. And you see it's getting the attention.

Talk about it good, or talk about it bad, Just talk about it!

its bad attention in the way that people are gonna be embrassed to buy their stuff
