Dangle Glove Stickhandling Tips:
-
Cradle the puck with only your top hand. Minimize the slapping sound when moving from forehand to backhand.
-
Cradling your stick from side to side is what will create the appropriate space between your stick and the ice allowing the puck to slide underneath.
-
Always practice stickhandling in many different positions around your body, not just directly in front of yourself.
-
Practice dekes by moving the puck in all positions from your forehand to your backhand side of your body and back again.
-
Keep your head up. Stickhandling with your head up is an essential skill as well as for your own safety.
-
Practice on and off ice.
-
Strengthen your wrists. Strong wrists, hands, and forearms can be developed with weight training and through the repetition of stick handling drills.
-
Keep your hands away from your body. This allows your hands to move freely and increases your reach and range of motion.
-
Develop quickness. One way to do this is to add a small weight to the end of your stick or to your wrist. When you take the weight away, you will see the difference it has made in developing the fast twitch muscle groups.
-
When stickhandling, particularly off ice, always try to have a slight knee bend. This will develop your leg muscles and put you in the proper position when on the ice.
-
Your top hand is your strength hand. Do not squeeze the stick with your bottom hand.
-
Learn to feather your stick. This means lightly gripping your bottom hand when stick is flush on the ice, and releasing the grip as you cross your body, then lightly gripping again as your stick is back on the ice on the opposite side. An example is the way one feathers their bike brakes when going down a hill.
-
When first gripping your hockey stick, the butt end of your stick should be comfortably placed in the palm of your hand with your pinky finger hanging over the edge of your stick. Your bottom hand should be (with gloves on) one hand width away from your top hand +/- an inch or two.
The revolutionary Dangle Glove Stickhandling Aid teaches proper technique, while increasing wrist strength and hand speed. It is designed to allow bottom hand to move freely along the shaft, while your top hand controls the movement of the stick. Learn to stickhandle like the pros with the Dangle Glove.
Dangle Glove Stickhandling Aid Review
Every once in a while, a product comes along that just “makes sense.” The Dangle Glove is one of them. This special glove helps to “force” players to use proper technique while stickhandling.
I’m sure at some point you’ve seen players stickhandling using a piece of PVC pipe, or a toilet paper tube on their bottom hand. This old training technique has been around for a long time, and is used to help players develop the habit of using their top hand to control the stickhandle, while their bottom hand acts as a stabilizer. The Dangle Glove takes this training method to a whole new level, allowing for more flexibility in drill types.
Although the old PVC Pipe method is a good start, there are some major limitations to this training method.
- You can’t let go of your bottom hand. If you do, the pipe drops to the bottom of the stick, and the device is useless.
- You can’t do on-ice, contact drills. Obviously, there’s no padding around a piece of PVC pipe. In theory, you COULD wear your glove, and hold onto the PVC pipe, on the ice… But then you run into the same problem we mentioned above; you can’t let go of the stick without the pipe dropping to the bottom.
The Dangle Glove fixes the problems with the old, PVC pipe method. Here’s how they’ve done it:
- Dangle Glove features an HDPE insert that mimics the effect of the PVC pipe, except it’s the shape of a half cylinder. This design lets you let go of the stick, then re-grab it, without losing the insert.
- Dangle Glove has attached their plastic insert into the palm of the glove (via velcro), which allows players to wear the glove in on-ice, full-contact situations.

The updated design of the dangle glove let’s players develop their stickhandling skills in a multitude of situations. It’s great for off-ice use, as well as for use on the ice. It’s a fantastic tool, and one that I definitely recommend!
