The Dangle Glove Encourages Proper Stickhandling Technique by Forcing Players to Use their Top Hand 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. Dangle Glove Overview: 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.

One of the main tools I've recommended and used over the past 20 years has been the Shooter Tutor, which is basically a canvas goalie with holes cut out in the corners and five-hole.
