This video is great, I have started to practice this drill and my technique has improved immensely. Thanks a lot. All the videos are helpful, would you consider doing a video working on for instance low to high shots, or crazy bounces, or something similar ?

[PrimeSportsTraining]

I can try to do one. The key with low to hich shots is staying in your normal ready position when the shooters stick is low. Do not go low with the stick because the shot will go over your shoulder.

oh yeah and i was thinking that you guys should do a basic clears video but its just a suggestion

[PrimeSportsTraining]

What would you want in that video?

[TannerSalancy]

my coach also calls this walking the line so pretty much you find a yard line on the field and walk up and down it doing this it also helps practice returning to middle of the cage

[PrimeSportsTraining]

Yes, I have heard it called that as well. My college coach would make us "walk the line" all the way around the lacrosse field.

walking the line with shadow shots is also pretty good cardio and really helps with your step. and you want your hands to be hip width apart.

@mikechristopher61 actually having your hands closer together allows you to move quicker to off hip and off stick side. IT really helps, but it is all preference.

you didnt mention the most imporaant think gon bounch shots

keep your stick low and your boyd high,

[mikechristopher61]

your videos are ok but not that great for example in this guys stance his hands are way to far in.

just a simple little like what outlets and who to pass to and when to carry the ball up further that kind of stuff
