1.QuickStickz comes with a special stickhandling ball and a USB camera that you connect to your computer.

2.Use your own stick to handle the ball. As you stick-handle the ball on the ground in front of the camera those movements are mirrored on-screen, allowing you to control the game.

3.During the game your head must be up and looking at the computer screen. You’ll need to use your peripheral vision and the feel of the ball on your stick while maneuvering the on-screen puck through a number of challenging drills.

 

 

Stickhandling Drills: QuickStickz features progressive drills that range in difficulty. Each one will target a number of stickhandling skills you'll require to become an outstanding stickhandler. You'll be practicing soft touches, quick hands, toe drags, narrow & wide dribbling, and more. The techniques you learn and develop with QuickStickz will translate directly to your on-ice ability to handle the puck

 

 

 

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions: 
 
1 - Where can I setup QuickStickz?

 

Lighting: QuickStickz uses infrared tracking to determine the position of the stickhandling ball. Because natural sunlight has a large amount of infrared rays, it interferes with the QuickStickz camera’s ability to see the ball. Ideally, QuickStickz will be played in an environment with no direct sunlight coming in – if there are windows in the room where QuickStickz will be played, the curtains should be drawn. Artificial lighting should not cause any problems.

 

Playing Surface: QuickStickz can be played on any flat surface – carpet, wood flooring, and concrete are all fine. We strongly recommend to use QuickStickz on our HockeyShot Dryland Flooring Tiles, the smoothest and slickest surface to practice stickhandling. The ideal number of tiles you need is 12. The only important consideration would be the amount of natural light that reflects off of the floor – and that is normally a factor only when paired with open windows.

 

Camera Placement: The camera should be around 29”-35” off of the ground – roughly the height of a desk or kitchen table.

 

2 - Can QuickStickz be connected to a TV?
Some of the newer flatscreen TV models provide inputs similar to what you would use for your computer monitor. If you can hook your computer up to your TV, then you’ll be able to play QuickStickz on your TV.

 

3 - How do I access the stickhandling drills?
The QuickStickz drills are designed to run from a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. The games make use of Adobe’s Shockwave Player; it will be installed on your computer as part of the QuickStickz installation process.
