I tend to chop a the puck how do you prevent that?

[m2hockey]

@LLhockeyplayer Roll your wrists more - this should help reduce the chopping

when doing complex stick handling it is hard to not look down as seen when m2hockey handles around the puck at 3:47

Good tips, for some reason when i do the drills i cant get the puck to stay flat

@logieuk try rolling your wrist more so the blade cups the puck more - this should prevent some of the flipping you're seeing now.

Nice video, trouble i have is sometimes flipping or lifting the puck slightly when i try and get a bit of speed in the moves, any advice? (I tape my stick 70% of the blade and it happens with and without wax)

Are you right or left hand dominant in every day life? I'm new to hockey, right handed and shoot righty. It makes sense to have your dominant hand at the top of the stick, but I can't shoot for the LIFE of me lefty and I've tried to work through it. Always interested in others opinions on right hand dominant with a left vs right stick. My handles feel a bit more solid with a lefty stick, but I'm slowly getting better with my right. Lots of small, unused muscles. Thoughts on the subject?
