Having Trouble with My Hockey Shots. Please help.

[Falc0nPunchMines]

lean more forward intead of falling back...

[iviperific]

Got some pucks do ya!?

[TehMixhau5]

Heres a tip I tell everyone. Never lift your back foot when shooting. you make yourself offbalance and you lose power to your shoot. This should help you a lot.

[danglesnippys61]

your 5 feet away from the net, youll never get a slapshot from there..and you lean way to much over your stick.

[goldenoreo85]

bend your knees more instead of leaning from the waist so much. it puts you off balance

when youn stickhandle roll your wrists more so its not so much chop chop chop. i might help if you put wd40 on your skillpad because it looks like the puck is rolling around a lot

dont stickhandle so much before you shoot. its a bad habit and youll find yourself doing it in games

hope this helped

will create video responce to your problem

[hockeyfreak647]

for the wrist shots try having the blade of the stick a little farther back and shooting the puck off the middle part of the blade. also drive your body to the net and rotate your wrists. for slap shots have the puck near the foot nearest to the goal and put your stick not the whole way upwards try to keep the blade higher than having the stick straight. when you come in contact w/ the puck have the blade hit the ground 10-6inchs behind the puck aslo drive hips legs arms and shoulder toward net

To shoot better dont be a such a duster



[MrFalloutboii]

FAIL

[MrLegoHaloMan]

in your wrist shot bring your stick back some more

[nolandomoney]

transfer onto ur front foot when u shoot

[jordandrums16]

Instead of trying to use all arm strength, try transfering your weight from back foot to front as well. That combined with the arms will give you a more powerful shot.

[Graham24681]

U should look at wear u r shooting not at the puck and roll ur hands over as the puck is leaving the blade

[MrNjdevilsfan30]

i did the same thing dislocated my left kneecap it hurt like a bitch

[drewfett34]

@MrNjdevilsfan30 exactly what i did. so painful, i never want to go through that again

[MrNjdevilsfan30]

@drewfett34 howd u do it? hockey?

[drewfett34]

@MrNjdevilsfan30 amazingly, no haha. apparently, my knee cap is misshapen, so that it slides around too much. so i was throwing a ball on halloween 2009 (it was raining here in jersey) and i lifted my left leg to step into the throw, and while my leg was in the air, the knee cap dislocated itself. completely bizarre, i was on crutches for 2 weeks, then had 6 months of pt (shoulda taken 4-8 weeks,but i got lazy and didnt do the home excercises) and the doctors kept me from skating for 6 months

Shoot the puck from the heel

[sensboy1]

Shoot the puck from the and bend your knees, for accuracy turn your wrists over and point to your target. For slap shot bend your knees lift your stick up not too high and hit the ground 1 inch behind the puck and once again turn your wrist over and point. Hope this helps just keep practicing and you will get good in no time. :)

[MustangHockey22]

try to look up before u shooot

[jasontackett17]

you know your supposed to bring your stick back before you take a wrist shot not just forward right?

[drewfett34]

@jasontackett17 yeah. this was my first time shooting in a while, and for some reason i shoot differently on ice and shooting pad. on ice i do a full wrist shot, and now im hitting top shot every time. thanks for your comment

[NYISLES2191]

I would try to go strength and conditioning before going right back at it ad build up your muscles and flexibility. The key is to stretch every morning and evening because that way your muscles can reach their potential. I wish you luck and if you have any other questions feel free to PM me.

[HockeySnipz96]

i think i may be able to help, on your wrist shots, both your feet are pointed at the net... intstead point them at the board and distribute your weight from your back foot to your front foot when you shoot. all i got good luckz

[streethockeygoalies]

Yo same for me i tore miniscus in the left knee and have very bad Blisters under the knee cap. i have the same prob with shots it sucks

[drewfett34]

@streethockeygoalies yeah, i dislocated my left knee, and the muscles in my leg all atrophied. luckily, i didnt tear any tissues or have any tissue damage. the doctor wouldnt let me skate for 6 months, so i couldnt practice at all. im still getting my rhythm back with skating again.

[drewfett34]

@streethockeygoalies i also had alot of richochets of the curb today. almost took my head off acouple times in this vid
