During high school (about 6 years later), I kept that same Shooter Tutor strapped to a full-sized goal in our side yard. I left it up through rain and shine, and shot anywhere from 50 to 100 pucks a day during the summers. Needless to say, it saw its fair share of abuse from me!

So what's so great about the Shooter Tutor? Well, a lot of things actually! It's light-weight, portable, and durable enough to take years of abuse. The design is simple, yet sophisticated. You've got your classic 5 holes cut out; The steel bar sewn into the bottom keeps it hanging heavy so that pucks don't trickle through under the goalie; You have to actually snipe to score (most of the time). Also, the combination of canvas with the bungie cord straps makes for a very realistic rebound when you miss your shot.

BEWARE OF IMITATIONS:

Because the Shooter Tutor is so well designed, lots of companies have tried to come up with their own versions. I obviously can't speak for ALL of them, but I can tell you that I've used a number of them over the years, none has held a candle to the Shooter Tutor. Many of them tend to be lower quality, don't stay strapped into the net as well, and don't hold up to real shots from real pucks the same way the Shooter Tutor brand does. In my mind, the Shooter Tutor is tried and true, and well worth the investment!
