The Extreme Passing Kit is a Great Way to Incorporate Passing into your Off-Ice Workouts
Passing is a skill that most players don't think about working on away from the rink. The main reason they don't think to work on passing is pretty obvious: because you need a partner to pass to, and to receive passes from, unless, of course, you have the Extreme Passing Kit.
Overview:
The Extreme Passing Kit is a really cool skill pad & passing rebounder combo, that will let you work on multiple skills such as regular passes, touch passes, and one-time shots.
The Extreme Passing Kit comes in two different models, the One-Timer Model (which you see in this video), and the Bungee Cord Model. The only difference between the two is that the rebounder is removable in the One-Timer Model, and can be mounted onto another shooting pad, or even your dryland flooring tiles. This feature gives you a little more flexibility than you have with the Bungee Cord Model.
Perfect for the driveway or garage, on a smooth flat surface
On the Bungee Cord Model, the rebounding bungee is mounted right onto the skill pad, making the unit completely self contained (which has its benefits as well, in my opinion).
Both models use the 4' by 8' roll-up shooting pad (huge!), which is light weight, durable, and portable. You can easily roll it up for storage when you aren't using it, or pack it in the car to bring it to a new dryland training location.

My Experience:
The Extreme Passing Kit comes already rolled up for you. When I first unboxed mine, it had retained the shape of being rolled up (which is to be expected), and I had to sort of pry it open and reverse roll it a bit on the ends to keep it from rolling back up on me. I let it sit out on my driveway in the hot sun for about an hour, and it flattened right out.
Once the shooting pad had flattened out, I mounted the rebounder to one end (it just clamps on), and went to town!
One thing you'll notice about the Extreme Passing Kit is that it works really well with pretty much any type of puck. I've used mine with regular black pucks, FlyPucks, and Green Biscuits, all of which slide really well, and stay flat off the rebounder. In fact, the pucks stayed flat enough that I was actually able to work some one-touch passes as well (which actually surprised me a little). |

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the Extreme Passing Kit is definitely a worthwhile product to add to your Home Hockey Training Center. It is well built, versatile, portable, and the surface area of the skill pad is big enough to use it for shooting, stickhandling, or passing.
