HockeyShot Introduces SpeedScan: Measure Your Shot. Build More Power.

Every Shot Makes You Better. How hard do you shoot? It's a question every hockey player has asked at some point. But knowing your shot speed can be about more than settling a hardest-shot competition. When used as part of regular training, measuring shot speed can give players valuable feedback to help develop their technique, build power, and track their progress. The new HockeyShot SpeedScan was built around that idea. The next generation of HockeyShot's shot-speed radar has been upgraded with improved speed detection, enhanced filtering, a wider shooting detection zone, and instant visual and audio feedback. Designed specifically for hockey, SpeedScan measures speeds from 5-240 km/h (3-150 mph), giving players a simple way to make their shooting development measurable.

A Faster Shot Starts With Better Training

Developing a harder shot takes repetition, but simply taking more shots doesn't necessarily mean you're getting better. Players can make small changes to their shooting technique by adjusting their weight transfer, puck position, or stick flex and often wonder whether those changes are actually making a difference. Measuring your shot settles the question. Start by taking a series of shots and establish a baseline. Then make an adjustment and shoot again. If your speed increases, you've got an indication that the change may be helping you generate more power. If it doesn't, try something different. The goal is to use that feedback to understand your shot and gradually build a more powerful, repeatable shooting motion, not to chase one big number.

The New SpeedScan

SpeedScan was designed to make that process easier and more useful during training. Its advanced radar technology is engineered specifically for hockey and measures speeds from 5-240 km/h (3-150 mph). The new model features improved speed detection and enhanced speed filtering to help deliver more consistent readings, while a wider shooting detection zone makes it easier to capture shots during a training session. That adds up to more useful feedback as you work through your drills. SpeedScan also keeps the information right in front of you. The oversized LED display is easy to see from across the shooting lane, while instant voice speed announcements let you hear your result after every shot. You stay in your training rhythm instead of stopping to check the radar. Shoot. Hear and see your speed. Make an adjustment. Shoot again.

Turn Your Speed Into a Training Goal

Once you know your shot speed, you have a number to work toward. Try to beat your personal best. Set a target for your next training session. Or challenge yourself to maintain a higher speed over a series of shots. That last one can be particularly valuable. Your hardest shot isn't necessarily your best shot. In a game, you need to generate power repeatedly and under different circumstances. The ability to reproduce your shooting mechanics and maintain your power is what turns a strong shot into a reliable skill. Use SpeedScan to track that progress. Instead of asking, "Did that feel like a good shot?", you can start asking, "Can I reproduce it?"

Take Your Training From Speed to Accuracy

Shot speed is only part of becoming a better shooter. Being able to shoot hard doesn't help much if you can't control where the puck goes. Pairing SpeedScan with Snipes makes a natural combination for shooting practice. Use SpeedScan to measure your shot speed, then use Snipes to challenge your ability to hit your target. Now you can work on two important parts of your shot at the same time: power and accuracy. Start with your normal shooting speed and see how consistently you can hit your targets. Then gradually increase your speed and check whether you can hold your accuracy and your target placement as the number climbs. A shot that's hard, accurate, and under control beats one that's simply hard.

Challenge Your Personal Best

Once you start measuring your shooting, it's easy to turn practice into a challenge. Try to beat your personal-best speed. See how many targets you can hit in a set number of shots. Challenge a teammate to a hardest-shot competition. Or combine the two. Set a speed target and an accuracy target and see who can achieve both. Having something measurable to work toward can make every shooting session more engaging and gives players a way to see their progress over time.

Built for Hockey Training

SpeedScan is designed specifically for hockey players and the way they train. The radar measures hockey pucks and sports balls and can be used at distances of approximately 20-50 feet (6-15 m). It works just as well in a basement, garage, or driveway as it does on the ice. Setup is simple with one-button operation, while the durable shock-absorbing rubber protective housing is designed to withstand the demands of regular training. An automatic battery saver shuts the unit off after five minutes to help conserve battery life. It's built for regular use, ready for more than the occasional hardest-shot competition.

Make Every Shot Count

The value of SpeedScan is what the information lets you do with it. Establish a baseline. Test your technique. Track your progress. Set a new personal best. Then add Snipes to challenge your accuracy and see whether you can control the power you're developing. Over time, those measurable improvements build a faster, more accurate, more consistent shot, and a better shooter overall, not just a harder one.
