i was racticing my slap shots yesterday, i used to have a great one and then i stopped playing, and recently over they last few months im getting my "skills" back. but my slap shot is just not there, i think my positsion is close to almost perfect but i cant postistion the puck in my blade correctly, where should it be? thanks, Aaron F. 14yrs of age

@AaronIsNotABender dead center of your blade. if you put it near the heel it won't whip and if you put it near the toe it will veer across your body. you can point the blade to the ground as you wind up in order to get that extra flex as well. just make sure the puck is just a little bit behind your lead foot and aim to hit the ground directly behind the puck or the stick won't flex.

how fast is the average slapshot in your league

[pineriversdragons]

@mropeechee ...? pretty fast? We don't have a speed gun

@yourcodenameiskevin im no expert, i dont even play inline but when i take shots in my basment, it doesn't lift AT ALL but i get on ice and i can shelf it, i think its a matter of the surface and how much resistance there is

[yourcodenameiskevin]

i play on a fairly rough surface (concrete) with tons of friction and can't seem to lift the puck on slap shots. would a smoother surface help?

I'm right handed and after I slap shot, the area around my left ribs hurts. Do you know what could be causing this?

[AaronIsNotABender]

@pineriversdragons i will have to work on that. thanks for the help
