NHL Sense Arena 26 Launch: Updates in DanglePro Drills

Four New Drills to Boost Your Flow, Vision, and Hands

The latest DanglePro update just dropped, and it’s all about taking your stickhandling to the next level. These four new drills blend hand speed, puck control, and real-time reaction to keep your brain and hands working in perfect sync. Whether you’re training in your garage or your basement, DanglePro continues to redefine off-ice puck skills through the power of spatial mixed reality.

Built with Pavel Barber’s Expertise

Every new DanglePro drill is inspired by and developed alongside Pavel Barber, one of the world’s top stickhandling experts and skills coaches. Known for his creativity and precision, Barber’s influence is built into every movement, from smooth toe drags to quick transitions. His on-screen tutorials guide players through each drill, teaching the same advanced puck control concepts he’s shared with elite pros around the world. It’s like having a masterclass in stickhandling, right in your headset.

New Drills. New Challenges. New Flow.

Each new DanglePro drill transforms Pavel Barber’s teachings into immersive, skill-building challenges designed to sharpen your real-game instincts:

• Puck Path – Inspired by Barber’s precision-based drills, you’ll guide your puck along a trail of arrows through a puck-filled minefield, collecting gold pucks as you move. Each touch demands body control, spatial awareness, and confident puck handling under pressure.
• Heads Up Handles – Straight from Barber’s “eyes up” philosophy, this drill forces you to keep your head high while controlling the puck under a shifting dangle bar, all while avoiding oncoming players. Chain together smooth, clean moves for higher scores and better flow.
• East-West Flow – Modeled after Barber’s lateral control work, this drill trains your ability to shift, react, and time your movements as you move the puck side-to-side to collide with gold pucks. The goal: perfect synchronization between your vision, hands, and feet.
• QM2 (Quick Mitts 2) – A pure Barber-inspired challenge of rhythm and control. Move up and down the dangle bar line, executing quick, sharp stickhandles under pressure. The faster and cleaner your sequence, the more you’ll feel your hands transform.

More Variety. More Realism. More Fun.

From precision touches to chaotic reaction drills, these new DanglePro additions bring more variety than ever before, helping players of all levels sharpen their read-and-react abilities in game-like situations. Every rep builds the quick hands, smooth movement, and elite-level control that separate the best players from the rest.

Train Smarter. Dangle Better.

Whether you’re a youth player mastering the basics or an elite athlete refining your touch, these new drills push you to handle chaos with confidence. DanglePro’s immersive, gamified design, powered by Barber’s world-class training philosophy, makes every session as fun as it is effective.
