In this video I teach how to flex the hockey stick to get more power. The flex happens in the wristshot, snapshot and especially the slapshot to add speed and power to all shots.

[@thundersports3614]

Thank you, this was very useful especially the advanced way to shoot I will surely try that. This channel and howtohockey are like my online library of never ending hockey tips

[@pt3682]

seriously, thanks coach, i try to use these brilliant advices,, never used composite stick before, and too stiff '85, but ya know hockey is the greatest sport ever.

[@MicBergsma]

😄🙌🏼🙌🏼 if you ever come to Maui... play online hockey!

[@kraghero8114]

Inline?

[@Wolf_The_Dentist_Stansson]

Who remembers the aluminum sticks? I remember rocking those in mini-tyke and tyke.

[@Haolekine888]

Easton aluminum

[@Joshbrodnan]

My dad still uses his because it’s the only thing he doesn’t break😂

[@rydergreenslade4218]

I still have mine

[@tysonkeenan4031]

I sill have my those where the bast

[@Ravenzoom]

I used to have a blaster from the point with one of those. Now, I'm having trouble with my shots. Hence the reason I'm here after the 35 plus years of playing...

[@sloanmoore3453]

85 flex will do anybody good.. I'm now 27 and have played hockey my whole life competitively and have tried 75, 85, 90, 95, and 100 flex over the years.. The brands have different ratings for each flex.. For example an Easton 85 vs CCM 85 flex might not feel the same flex wise.. You also have to take into account kick points and figure out which that you like.. They say lower kicks is good for wrists / snaps and mid kicks are good for clappers.. I found this to be partially true.. But overall I found the 85 flex to be my favourite.. Over the past 4 years it's all I've been using and I've gotten a good feel for it. Find what you like and stick with it.. 👍🏽

[@jeffreyadams8345]

me too buddy, best of luck

[@nintendovspcuniverse]

problem is whn im on the ice and try to flex it it just slides from under me

[@tehzelmo3633]

me too

[@eerikkan13gas65]

You have to do the whole thing fast enough to get it work. Slower the thing is done, easier it slides under you

[@tombarni6009]

Teh and Nintendo, you might wanna try (perhaps first off ice) to put gradually more of your body's weight onto the shaft in order to get a good idea of how to flex the stick

[@J355UP21]

Great videos Jeremy, thanks for spreading the knowledge to this "late bloomer!"

[@basterisk]

Best shot instruction ever. I wish these videos existed when I was completely clueless and searching youtube for shot tutorials. But my shots still need a lot of work, so I'm still going to rewatch all these vids over and over until the principles are wedged deep in my cerebellum.

[@j.nicolasphillips3167]

Right?

[@lukerisser9163]

big fan of this series

[@nathanl8665]

Thanks Jeremy I tried this and I dented my nets frane

[@zensema]

These videos are so good!

[@thehockeyfreak6825]

Great video Jeremy. Although I know how to use the flex on my stick properly, it is awesome for guys looking to take that next step in their game. I won't lie this did help me brush up on wrister :)

[@brennenfisher6278]

Love the Kearny hockey pad at the park. Such a great place for ball hockey.

[@evanrandall1675]

Thanks this was great I'd been having trouble loading up the stick on wrist shots

[@JustinW71]

Very helpful as a refresher of the fundamentals.

[@sukaboy00]

Jeremy what is the flex and kick point of that stick you use. Can you mention that in your videos in the future?

[@jackquinnes]

Could you say that a) a snapshot is always shot from the inside leg (weight on it) while b) you can shoot a wristshot on any of them. Is the differentiating factor, thus, in the length and quickness of the release before the actual eh release and follow throug (meaning you can do both from the inside leg but only the longer lasting wristshot from the outside leg)? Thanks in advance, coach.

[@lah6iv146]

thanks jeremy this helped a lot

[@doncorleone36]

Man I figured all this out on my own.. but it took a good couple years. Wish I'd seen this video sooner! Great stuff.

[@mbmass]

Great video! One big thing you didn't mention though was make sure to keep your hands wide enough apart, which you do very well. If your hands are too close it makes it much harder to flex the stick.

[@sillymitch8492]

I watched this video a couple days before a game... had a Fricken bullet come off my wrist shot to the point where the goalie didn't move... and I hit the top 90 leaving me a bar down. I've notice my game get much better just taking some basic pointers and thinking about it while I'm on the ice! thanks Jeremy!!

[@BeatFoxstudio]

I just love your videos!

[@jesperandersson748]

Your channel have help me so much thanks

[@CoachJeremy]

👊

[@andyandbeyond]

Great demo.

[@ignasjakutis]

Hi Jeremy , I cannot find a video , when camera is facing front , all videos about shooting technique are taken from a side of body . I hadn’t find any video on KZbin that explains shooting technique when the camera is in front .It is very interesting what angle i should lean on my stick and what level I should keep my shoulders.

[@aReallyBigZlz]

Agree

[@bluejay337]

Thanks for the video series

[@revileno1]

great tips

[@FlanTVlv]

Can u make a vid about choosing your first hockey equipment?

[@nalsra0]

I'm about 6'10 and I weigh 635 pounds, recommendation on stick flex?

[@nalsra0]

I'm looking into getting one of the Raven sticks

[@JavierCespedes90]

+Blur Icy Are you sure you weigh 635 pounds?

[@nalsra0]

+Mustang12431 yes, just a little overweight, I'm 15 btw

[@jimbo0o0o]

+Blur Icy Back when the NHL first began to get players that were 635 pounds and 6'10 they would take trees and basically use them. Since you are 15 you will grow to probably 8'9 so I say you find a tree around that height. I hope this helped, coming from a guy that is 7'9 800 pounds and uses a tree as a stick!

[@DigitalBathInAZ]

+Blur Icy What about for me, guys? I'm about 7'7", 1165 lbs. Can I get info on stick flex too? I'm 12 btw.

[@thierrychaubet4400]

Hi Jeremy Thanks for slap,snap wristshot vidéo . Does it the same mouvements in roller hockey ?

[@anyutubenamesleft]

This guy is great

[@j.nicolasphillips3167]

Where, exactly, on the blade of the stick do you hit the puck? Center, toward the toe, or toward the heel?

[@chevalfuret]

big thanks my friends

[@TormodSteinsholt]

Great video series, but was there supposed to be a video or article in the description about finding the correct stick flex for you?

[@thetazchan]

hey guys, great vid as always ! I'm 34 and started to play hockey(roller) a year ago I have a question about stick flex, I've read the guide, and according to that I should be using a 85 flex, (i weight 187 p ) but I still find it hard to flex, so as a begginer would it be better to use and intemediate 75 flex stick ? or would it be too weak for me ? thanks !

[@danmackay9959]

Im similar in weight to you and have no problems flexing 85 flex sticks(which I use for ice hockey) but I still use a 77 flex for ball hockey. .. if I were you I would get a senior 77 flex.

[@nathanielfitch5451]

I am 112lb and I use a 55 and can flex it

[@Grim_Snark]

From a skating perspective, when you take the snap shot it looks like you have most of your weight to the outside so would a snapshot require the place to be on their outside edge?

[@eerikkan13gas65]

Yeah, it is easier if you are on your outside edge. But it is harder to goalie if you shoot quickly when being on the inside edge because goalie wouldn't expect it

[@cheesyballer]

Peep the afs on Jeremy what a beauty

[@bakedcat7494]

What a beauty

[@blueboyz2342]

Thanks for learning me to shoot. One more subscriber on you

[@hoksidablacksmith7428]

At 2:56 why did you switch sticks?

[@SlotspeedDigital]

Hi Jeremy, this series got me working on different components of my snapshot... It kind of worked in the garage but open ice was different. I found I had to simplify the shot and take a couple of the more finicky steps out. And found in games I almost never had the time to pull the puck towards my body so I took that step out. But after a lot of practice I found I got a good feel for getting the snap power/control from the top hand and now I shoot from the mid/toe rather than the heel. Wondering if the choice of blade curve has more of an influence than most people realise... Im on P3/E3/sakic/P92 but want to try something like the old Yzerman as I think the P92 is a bit too open. Which curve did you use for the video? And thanks for sharing the knowledge. (my experience is 7 years playing organised adult rec league if that gives some perspective)

[@SuperCarrotKing]

Thx man my slap shot is way better i wasn't pushing downwards on the ice i was just hitting the puck.

[@swissfloorball3027]

nice video

[@mushkaleuppal7186]

Jeremy For so e reason even when I don't want to the puck flips of my stick and behind me.I'm a fast guy so if that happens on a breakaway then I'm screwed. So can you do a video on how to control the puck while at top speed or something like that. Thanks.

[@ericzhang9993]

this video is so gooda

[@lcrbelivo]

Awsomme vid

[@lukazcalls]

Jeremy rockin the af1's lmao

[@frostyyszn3979]

yeah i knew i wasnt the only one seeing this

[@mikewong6004]

do you use a shorter stick for off-ice training?

[@seanthomas6421]

At the beginning of the video you kicked out your right leg and used the stick to hold your weight. But at the end you stood on your right leg and put the weight on your stick. Which one is the "proper" way? I'm new to hockey but I think kicking it the right leg like at the beginning of the video would be best so you aren't hanging over to much after your shot and can keep up right to Attack the puck IF you missed

[@teezbar]

what other players do you know other than Phil Kessel :P jk love your videos man, learning a lot from them

[@amanda_1021]

how do you determine what flex in the stick to get? Also, just curious where do you guys shoot these videos from?

[@HotSauceStain]

Will a $70 Canadian tire CCM stick do this? I find I can’t do this flex technique, maybe with a slap shot only.

[@reereh502]

How do u lift the puck while doing a clapper

[@steelo136]

Something ive learned is that you dont drive down, you drive towards the net. The way your stick is angled, by pushing forward it has the right amount of forward and downward force.

[@bobbysmith6533]

What is the best street hockey puck for gravel street it is really annoying to have you puck bouncing around when you are trying to stick handle

[@neilbergin3835]

Greenbiscut for sure

[@BESTBULLDOGUSA]

What flex is stick used in video?

[@JonJon-sm2nh]

Hi coach Jeremy. My name is Gustavf from Brooklyn. I want to learn from the best.

[@caseyjones3750]

Damn Jeremy back at it again with the white Vans😂👌🏻

[@arthurdelambre-hassenforde7016]

Hello Jeremy ! I have a problem, everytime I tried to flex my stick on the ice with a snapshot, I lost my edge when I try to pull my weight on the stick. What is the problem ? Lack of shoulders/arms strengh ? My shots are okay but I'd like to give them more power. When I'm on the ground on a shooting pad, I can flex the stick with all my weight, but not on the ice, is it because I have more stability on my shoes rather than on my skates? Thanks a lot !

[@n.b1956]

Hem Popo lower your flex or bring the flex up and don't 'try' when I say that don't push down the stick if it's right for flex it will do that on its own and maybe practice on rollerblades if you want to improve your technique on skates

[@tigerftw3408]

Im 45kg and my stick is int about 70 flex bacause i cut it so should i buy a new on or just play with the 70 flex stick?

[@ytgravitiys9861]

im 5'4 a 100 lb i take lots of slap shots do you recomend a 60,55,50,or 45 flex ?

[@WhiskyBeard]

+Bob Bbnnbbnn Depends entirely on your strength. It's all about flexing it properly. So say a college player bench presses 200 pounds. He will have a better slapshot with a stick that has 80 flex than a stick with 95 flex, because he can properly flex the 80 stick. But a player who benches 300 pounds will have a better slap shot with a 95 flex over an 80 flex. You should try flexing different sticks to see what sticks aren't too hard to flex or too easy, and from that range, pick the one that feels the best.

[@ytgravitiys9861]

i am not that strong and my dad orderd a 60 flex instead of a 50 wich i told him will i still be able to use the 60 like normal

[@MaximePilon18]

50

[@nalsra0]

+PBirds76 it does not really have to do with strength, you just have to transfer your weight onto the side that your stick is on, and bob I recommend maybe a 60 flex stick, because if you get 55 flex or lower the stick will be too short. Go with the 60 flex

[@snink778]

150

[@_vexity_]

I don't actually play hockey yet, but I find when I take slap shots it hurts both of my hands. is this just because I don't have gloves?

[@michaeleast4979]

Can you do this if you have a wooden stick

[@blacktuxedoes1312]

Electric Wild no lmao wood sticks don't have any flex capability dude get a composite

[@elikedrowski6181]

Sure they flex. They're just heavy and a bit fragile

[@hasnakhan2436]

Coach Jeremy >> physics prof

[@yaks2745]

I use 85 Flex for my Easton Stealth CX, is that a sufficient amount of flex for me? I am 6'0 and 205 lbs

[@yaks2745]

***** It feels pretty good, but I should move up in flex, I am still putting on more muscle mass so I may need more flex.

[@vxfgcgvhbyuu]

how many sticks did you break while filming this

[@MiniBuscusYC]

Jeremy Rupke i am having trouble lifting the puck on my slapshot

[@ytgravitiys9861]

+Mini Buscus i CANT LIFT IT EITHER HOW DO YOU LIFT IT ON THE SLAPSHOT

[@ytgravitiys9861]

+todd279910 I am 100 lbs and I got a 60 flex which is a little high but I got the right technique is a little extra flew make that much impact

[@hockeyavenue2666]

+Bob Bbnnbbnn get some knee bend and finish with your blade high also have some leg kick.

[@ytgravitiys9861]

Hockey Avenue ok

[@Stonedzioba]

so was i but try hitting behind the puck only an inch not a foot

[@ЖеняИванушкина-г2н]

Hi! I'm 6ft, 146 pounds, i use 80flex stick, but I could flex it only a half an inch. Should i go for intermediate stick (which will be too short for my height)? help me please

[@TheSomeHockey]

Typical rule is to use flex half your weight. So you should be using a 70 or 75 flex

[@adambusch4017]

Add an extention

[@derickmarchand6390]

if I measure 5.7 and weighs 105 ? What lie I should choose between 5.0 , 5.5 or 6 ?

[@themuirs8491]

how come u use a different stick for shooting ?

[@josepheisan2151]

Just saying it is Potential energy into kinetic energy

[@neilschanbusch7957]

freezeframe + slow-mo always has such low quality :(

[@jacksonritchie1620]

would 205 to 210be about 85 or flex 90?

[@seanwatts605]

Take your body weight and divide it by 2

[@Stonedzioba]

try 100 to 105

[@yaniszerkhfaoui8820]

i'm 120 pounds so i should get a 60 flex but i'm almost 6 feet... so i gotta have a senior cuz the intermediate are to small and wippy, broke two of em the same day.. so my question is: i want a 60-65 flex but in à senior lenght, how could i get one?

[@torinmcgonigal7833]

custom order bud at your LHS. 75 flex might work if your snapping them that easy. that's what Kessel Briere and Ennis use.

[@yaniszerkhfaoui8820]

tanks alot

[@tannertatum7844]

I have the same problem! I'm 6 foot and 115.

I eat you idiot

[@福田光祐-m9w]

2:00

[@hockeysnipes1853]

I'm about 110 pounds and just got a int. 67 flex stick (I cut it so it's about 80 flex) should I go back to my old stick or just use this one? Because I don't want to waste that money

[@CrazedGwonam97]

+Deflections thats really stiff for you..maybe you could sell it or something?

[@nalsra0]

80 flex should work pretty well for 110 pounds, it will be a little stiffer but it will still get a little flex

[@brandonnykyforak]

+Blur Icy Your stupid. 80 flex is way to stiff for him.....he would have to weight 160 pounds to be able to get just a bit of flex out of it.

[@nalsra0]

+Brandon Nykyforak calm down douchebag

[@hockeysnipes1853]

Everyone calm down I actually got a ccm tacks a couple weeks ago 40 flex. ( Ik its whippet but I really like it and I have gotten good shots off) so please just stop.

dam coach Jeremy in his youthful days is prime and mint condition

[@flaws4744]

what is the best flex stick to get?

[@nalsra0]

Depends on your weight

[@flaws4744]

135 lol

[@TuxedoPug]

+flaws you want flex to be ABOUT half your weight in flex. in your case, about 60-70ish

[@swiszle]

Do you feel your stick flex when you are taking wristers and snap shots?

[@DigitalBathInAZ]

What about for my nephew? He's 3'3", 45 lbs. What flex?

im 150 i use 67 flex

[@baileyjohnson9725]

Sup

[@gangstagangsta9081]

I dont think this is true. It is a misconception that you push down on the stick but you dont. When you pull the puck toward you because your stick is back and your top hand is out your actually pushing forward not down

[@professional7603]

the flex of my stick is supposed to be right... but still when I do various shots, I dont feel flexing at all....anyone?

[@Jaakkogaz]

I'm 12 and i didn't even know i was using the advanced way to shoot
