I use the Green Biscuit Snipe, heavy pucks, light pucks, and a bunch of regular pucks. Practising with pucks of different weights helps you develop better puck feel.

Awesome, thanks! I picked up the Green Biscuit/Snipe combo pack, along with a weighted puck and a few regular ones. I had heard people have had problems with the Green Biscuit Snipe breaking. Have you had that issue?

I haven't had an issue with the Green Buscuit. Unless it's defective or you're completely abusing it, it should hold up pretty well.

Here's a video of someone deliberately trying to break one. It takes quite a pounding.
