how does a composite stick not aid him in the speed... If the stick is lighter, he can move it quicker thus adding more force and increasing your velocity. Eventhough you lose some mass in the stick, the most of the speed comes from the body and flex... As someone who uses both, my shot is a little faster.
That is not accurate. A wooden stick, while stronger, can only flex so much before breaking. A composite stick can flex much further giving more torque on the shot.
Al Iafrate and Al McInnis could shoot 104+MPH shots with wooden sticks in their time. If they were using composites back then they could have topped speeds of 110 MPH I am sure.
The same thing goes with golf clubs. Golfers are hitting much farther today then in the past, all thanks to composites.
Ok why do all u fags talk about your dicks under a hockey video. If ur telling some other guy about ur dick ur gay. So go comment somewhere else fages
actually a lighter stick does increase the speed of the shot because it is a quicker release and you can shoot it faster and with more power... Speed = Distance / time and with less time which is the time you hit the puck with your stick meens a greater speed BITCH!
@signmeup00 congrats on passing gr 10 physics! There's more going on than just speed (even though that formula you kindly provided is for velocity, v=d/t), it also involves transfer of and change in momentum, called impulse. Impulse = force x change in time, which actually means that the longer the force of your shot is applied to the puck, the faster it will go which is why following through produces a harder shot. Good try young man but check your facts next time "BITCH!"
@signmeup00 because they have much better puck handling since they are weighted better, they have better release for wrist shots and passes, and theyre more durable than wood
@signmeup00 You obviously didn't take any physics classes. Distance would be from where he shot to the net. Time is how long it took to get there. Speed would be measured from that and therefore have nothing to do with the stick DUMBASS.
@canuck1992 Are you sure? Al Mclinnis uses a wooden stick, 100.4 was his hardest. Zdeno Chara uses hard stiff composite stick 105.9 years before that. 105.4 , 103.1. IF wooden speeds up shots then why have we not seen it. Why todays player shoot 105.4 like Chara? And even kilger back in the leafs days few years ago recorded 106.7. Again why havnt players like McInnis or Al Iafrate top Chara or Kilger?
@signmeup00 heres the deal. m1v1=m2v2. If m1 is really heavy and m2 is light (aka heavy stick and puck). The assumption is that the stick velocity will be very similar for both a light weight and heavy weight stick. However the first equation indicates that a heavier stick will result in a higher velocity than a light stick. think of a pendulum hammer, the heavier they are, the force they apply to whatever they come in contact with
Not quite the right explanation, but you are correct. Kinetic energy = Mass x Velocity squared, so the velocity at which you hit the puck determines how much energy is transferred more than the mass of the stick does (though it still affects it, the guy in the video has no idea what he's talking about) It is the same concept behind the corked bat, which is lighter than a regular bat. Physics ftw
@signmeup00 the speed of the puck can be calculated using that equation. It is done as distance to the net / time it takes to get to the net = speed of the puck.. Speed at which you swing the stick won't matter as much. You have to consider a lighter stick will have less mass. F=MA
As the narrator mentioned to truly generate high speed shots you use the energy stored in the stick from its flex.
So don't buy a $250 stick because you think you'll add 50mph to your shot.
@signmeup00 Speed = Distance / time means the distance where you shoot from to goal devided with the time the puck took to fly to that goal... Thats how for example speedhero hockey radar works and that formula has nothing to do with composite or wood stick...
@signmeup00 Your talking about the speed it takes him to make the shot, not the speed at which the puck is traveling BIAOOOAATCHHH!!!!1!eleven!!!1!!!!11!one!!!1!
@signmeup00 Sorry but your wrong. The stick's weight and flex have nothing to do with the speed of the shot. What matters most is the combination of strength and technique, i.e. how much you can bend the stick and control the ensuing torque to control the shot. Lifting the stick up before the shot or any kind of big wind-up does not make a difference, unless you have trained your body to "focus" this way. It can be a little counter-intuitive, but I know this from studies.
@skates 89 I'm pretty sure if I was gonna take advice from someone it would probably be from him cause he makes millions of dollars playing in the NHL I'm pretty sure he knows what he is doing.
If this guy really knew what he was doing you would see his left leg lift and snap out. This guy could get a whole lot more out of his shot and it is another poor demonstration of a shot sorry
@xxdethpallyxx Sorry dont have to play in the NHL to know that is a weak demonstration of a shot. Trust me there are countless talented people walking this planet. His shot is a very poor demonstration period. Dont take it to heart and let it bother you so much. Some people just know what they are talking about and Im one of them lol
are you serious? you just said the flex is the key point. composites have a better flex than wood. thanks for contradicting yourself in less than a minute
@MrHman33 Yep you have it right wheres the vid of your shot. Im 45 and you can take a look at mine. The exact technique your talking about. I have broken pucks stuck them in nets all the time and cracked goaltenders masks
I don't mean to toot my own horn but--toot, toot--I have a really hard shot, but I've always wanted to see how fast it is. I know it's not nearly as fast as 100mph, though I'd love to see how it compares.
Personally, I could never get used to a stick with a lot of flex. I use a composite with 100 flex and it works perfect, but I wonder how much faster my shot could be if I got used to one with a lot of flex. I recently bought a composite with 85 and even that was too much for me!
Im sorry but a composite stick helps a LOT. And it does add speed because of the flex.. look at the slapshots they had in the NHL in the 70's without them. Also Canada vs USA in 45 min. GO CANADA GO
I just put a slapshot video up in my channel. I will be adding a lot more hockey tips (that's the only thing I add to the channel) Drop by, say hi, subscribe if you like my videos!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Bad Advice: At 0:30 instructor says for blade of stick to hit the ice 10 inches before puck, not! The blade of the stick should hit the ice about 1-2 inches behind puck to maximize optimum relationship between flex of stick and release of puck.
Also this video says there is no difference between how hard a shot is between using a wood stick or composite stick. I have used a lot of wood sticks and certain wood designs are superior to any composite stick. Wood sticks have better feel too.
How far back you hit the ice depends on a lot of things. The more flex the stick has, and the stonger you are the further back you can hit the ice. It is all about loading the stick and building potential energy
I like how everyone criticizes everything on instructional videos, and if theres nothing to criticize its word pronunciation. you dudes must have badass slapshots and obey the fuck out of speed limits. im compuhsitive
@acousticplanet4him Finally somone who doesnt slam me for a comment. i thank you for your insight, i didnt know about the erm... different ways to say it south of the 49th paralell
Help me out here... so Ron moves his front (right) foot out towards the inside to the puck with weight transfer. Bringing the back (left) foot up is not as necessary since weight transfer is the focus? I cant wait to get on the ice Monday to practice the weight transfer!
Which ever way you shoot, that leg will be the leg you lift with the weight transfer. When the stick hits the ice before the puck it flexes and milliseconds before touching the puck, flexes back with massive force like a whip launching the puck at high speeds. Depending on how strong you are and how much you weigh will play big into how hard your slap shot will be.
yeah they might do but not in the same way, a hockey stick hits the ice a few inches in front of the puck causing it to bend and flex where as a golf club hits the ball straight on and flexes for different reasons unknown to me
Yeah, the stick hits the ice early so that the force of the swing and the weight of the player combine to flex (bend) the stick. When the stick unbends it acts like a slingshot. Think bow & arrow.
@skillaze215 dont talk about ur dad buddie..my dick is bigger and fatter then urs..dont hate cuz ppl that get made at ppl with big dicks means ur dick is smaller then 6 inches
actually, the higher the flex the better depending on how strong you are, say you're like fucking arnold schwarzeneggar (cant spell that for shit) you should rather take a say like, 30000 flex over a 100 flex since the 30000 flex would store more power and he's strong enough to make it flex for that power
He wouldn't shoot as hard with a wooden stick for a simple reason:
the kick point isn't at the same place.
You can prefer and do better with a wooden stick, but you can notice if you change the puck simply won't travel as fast even if you pick similar flex because of this kick point.
The average speed of an NHL players slapshot averages around 85MPH and that includes those who don't even shoot that often (e.g. Derek Boogard). Go to Minnesota, you'll see high schoolers who are averaging well into the 80's no problem.
i used to touch the ice too near of the puck, i think it was about 2 inches, after i saw this video, i tried to touch the ice about 10 inches like they say and i must say i have a way better shot now.
Middle, and make sure you follow through and point the blade where you want the puck to end up goin...for wristers it's heel to toe to get that spin on it
Not a bad video, but quite vague. I will be coming out with a new video that explains the slap shot in more detail. Check it out.. tell me if you think its legit, thanks.
point your blade when taking the shot, how you hold your stick before you shot makes a huge difference. check your curve, make impact with the ice, and make sure you distribute all your weight to your front foot... don't be scared to put your weight into the stick.
i have been plying hockey for a year now and i just now figured out that in a slap shot ur supoused to hit the ice so the stick will bend and hit the puck.......not even jk o.O
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Your suppose to hit the ice 6 inches behind the puck and bend your knee's and turn your blade and balance to one feet if you want the best slapshot which i already have.

uhhh, dudes dumb, a composit flexes a hell of a lot more, which according to him would give him a harder shot...
Figmonster80 2 years ago
actually, the higher the flex the better depending on how strong you are, say you're like fucking arnold schwarzeneggar (cant spell that for shit) you should rather take a say like, 30000 flex over a 100 flex since the 30000 flex would store more power and he's strong enough to make it flex for that power

The technical question I have is do you hit the puck closer to the toe of the blade or more towards heel or the center of the blace?
poochpoints 2 years ago
the heel or center would be ideal for giving the puck lift
TheJoyfulNapkin 2 years ago
actually, right in between the heel and the middle is like perfect...if you get a chance, watch zdeno chara take his 105 mph slapper
FlaHockeyPlayer 2 years ago
center is the optimal place to hit the puck.
eebro65 2 years ago
He wouldn't shoot as hard with a wooden stick for a simple reason:
the kick point isn't at the same place.
You can prefer and do better with a wooden stick, but you can notice if you change the puck simply won't travel as fast even if you pick similar flex because of this kick point.
Also, it'll change your aim.

No, it's "com·pos·ite". Look it up in any dictionary.
Alos, composite do speed up the shots, but only by a mild percentage. The real advantage is consistent flex.
I paly with wood though, that way I can feel the puck without looking at it.

The average speed of an NHL players slapshot averages around 85MPH and that includes those who don't even shoot that often (e.g. Derek Boogard). Go to Minnesota, you'll see high schoolers who are averaging well into the 80's no problem.
Bigt252002 2 years ago
high schoolers with a shot that fast? I know some kids who can do that, but their aim is terrible, shot speed is not all that important.
RoleModelFailure 2 years ago
Your shot isn't 85, I can guarantee that. Maybe kmh.

i used to touch the ice too near of the puck, i think it was about 2 inches, after i saw this video, i tried to touch the ice about 10 inches like they say and i must say i have a way better shot now.
Thank you Mr.Hainsey !!

What part of your blade do you hit the puck with?
jipmip2332 3 years ago
Middle, and make sure you follow through and point the blade where you want the puck to end up goin...for wristers it's heel to toe to get that spin on it
huggybear921 3 years ago
Not a bad video, but quite vague. I will be coming out with a new video that explains the slap shot in more detail. Check it out.. tell me if you think its legit, thanks.

hey thins may sound stupid but im in my first year of hockey and i am having trouble lifting my slapshot if you have any tips please share with me
mpryan14 3 years ago
point your blade when taking the shot, how you hold your stick before you shot makes a huge difference. check your curve, make impact with the ice, and make sure you distribute all your weight to your front foot... don't be scared to put your weight into the stick.
danzo337 3 years ago
to mpryan14 stupid reply system works once in a while
dont worry
lots of people cant life their slapshots some even after years of hockey
its a hard shot in speed and dificulty
danzo is right andalso watch some videos on slap shots

Your suppose to hit the ice 6 inches behind the puck and bend your knee's and turn your blade and balance to one feet if you want the best slapshot which i already have.
Rbadger10 3 years ago
it depends on the flex of you stick, your weight, your speed and your weight transfer
thebulletproofboy 3 years ago 10
yea but if u cut ur stick, that really effects the flex
