iTrain Hockey Slap Shot Training Intensive

[@kozac97]

I can't believe I didn't find this video 6 years ago... I've been struggling with my slapshot for literally 12 years having never learned properly. Tried this technique yesterday and for the first time ever my shot actually looked and sounded like a real clapper. Thank you!!

[@Konanan]

I too have been playing for over a decade not knowing how to properly take a slapshot.

[@tophypno2544]

The best teaching video ever. Thank you very much.

[@philippemartel5250]

I’ve been coaching hockey for a few years with for my son’s team. This is the best video I’ve ever seen about how to teach a slap shot. Thank you so very much!

[@Milehighsnake98]

THANK YOU!!!! I never realized how much I was doing wrong when I would try to take a slapshot. Now I know what I need to work on.

[@happylena2915]

The best hockey training channel!!! Greetings from Poland.

[@BrandonIslander]

[@дмитрийдмитрий-х6т]

[@alexfriedman7904]

Most in depth helpful slap shot tutorial

[@tvkimsh]

i paly hockey in Korea. this video is really helpful to me. thank you very much. ^^

[@tonkatsutony7990]

Sean Walkers hockey tutorials are excellent, probably the best on KZbin right now. He's clear and demonstrates his points very effectively. Highly recommended.

[@kellymulderino7156]

twisting the blade forward after making contact with the puck is what helps get it up in the air- took me a while to figure that out

[@itrainhockey]

You got it!

[@kenflowers9271]

Nice ! Great, quick to to point ! I'll try it when I'm on ice next Thanks

[@SergeySergey691]

Amazing. Really valuable tips. Thanks a lot!!

[@Slicey007]

Been taking shots my entire life- naturally have a hard shot and the slap shot just came natural to me with a lot of practice hone it but these videos are great for making those little adjustments that can result in BIG changes. Thanks!

[@Tankerbell83]

this is exactly the video I was looking for. More please!!!

[@kaoribelford7469]

Your instructions are like gold and diamond! Thank you!!😊🏒💓

[@veloskripegi5684]

Best instruction!

[@isaboteur2562]

Amazing breakdown. Everyone can always use some pro tips to brush up our most effective shot...the wrist shot

[@eliminator87]

I just want to thanksl your videos are very helpful..I got back on the ice with 2 hip replacements..

[@pekkalaaksonen8384]

Amazing teacher and I think he's even more skilled, technical and faster than even top players in European hockey leagues.. :)

[@itrainhockey]

Such a nice compliment, thanks Pekka!

[@richardhenry5858]

This channel is the best. I may not be a better hockey player just yet, but I received very valuable coaching for free. Thanks, Sean.

[@werquantum]

Excellent. Looking for commonalities with golf swing.

[@jamiecain779]

Fantastic video. Best one I could find for shooting tips. Many thanks!

[@coachlelund9264]

Thank you for making these videos! I'm new to hockey, and am working on a way to play in my local roller league. I bought my first stick a week ago, and your videos have helped me train at home while waiting on my first pair of skates to come in. (I have ridiculously big feet, so trying to find a pair of skates my size has been a real challenge.) But I have a large, hardwood living room, which has turned into my training grounds for the moment, and I have to say that I really didn't get a feel for what I was doing until I found this channel. Thank you again!

[@DaltonPhantom]

Would love to see some goalie puck handling videos this detailed!!

[@itrainhockey]

Вы получили это сейчас!

[@bryanhenderson643]

THANK YOU!!!! This is the best slap shot training video I have ever seen. This video showed me what I was doing wrong with bending my arms and why my accuracy wasn’t at its top.

[@svarognordland]

Hi dude! I'm just starting to learn playing hockey. You are great! Best regards from Russia. I will follow you lessons. It should help me!

[@itrainhockey]

[@isaboteur2562]

What a awesome breakdown. Thank goodness for YT. Awesomwe upload brother

[@willbobig]

Where were you when I was a kid 😂.. unreal videos!

[@Joel9046]

Great technique Sean. I've been struggling with my control on my front foot on my rotation through the puck. It's probably because I'm rotating up and out of balance on my takeaway. Got to remember to keep my chest in proper alignment.

[@j.justinstone2123]

Great video. Thanks!

[@earthbound7711]

Awesome! Thanks.

[@therealjezzyc6209]

Please do a snap shot or advanced stickhandling training intensive.

[@daveellis1575]

Great video. My question is how do you get the exact height of the shot going into the net, just by pointing to it at the end of your follow through?

[@gabrielalbarracin7573]

exelente tutorial. aun sin tener conocimientos de ingles, cualquiera puede entender edte video. muchas gracias!! vuelvo a repetir . exelente tutorial!!!

[@itrainhockey]

¡Muchas gracias! Estos clips en KZbin son solo un vistazo de las más de 400 horas de capacitación en video disponibles con una suscripción de membresía y los videos tienen subtítulos en español. ¡Gracias por tu apoyo! #Hockeylife #iTrainHockey

[@janobolbotow5245]

Wind up portion can be more from behind,much lover stick position,with thorso twist .Stick position behind so goalie can not see your stick up high in the air.

[@JustinSchnurr]

Great tips !!

[@einher1]

Now that was a okay old school slap shot, where you smack the puck as hard as you can with a stiffest hockey stick you can find. Impressive, if you are 6'11, but I recommend using stick flex for your advantage. Bend - yes bend!!! - your right elbow, and keep it close to your body. If you try to keep both arms straight, you look like windmill and a robot, and fail to get a leverage to fully use your body to flex the stick. Your right foot should be planted while pulling you right hand. If the foot points towards the target and the knee is significantly bent after your shot, you failed to plant your foot.

[@scottwalker9354]

Exactly what I was looking for Sean, thanks so much! I've never had a good slapshot and was never taught how to properly shoot, so it's always been frustrating not having a good shot at the point. Really looking forward to trying this technique out! All the best from your cousin in the west!

[@itrainhockey]

Scott Walker Yes! So happy to hear from you cousin! Thank you for the message and I’m glad to know it helped to improve your technique. Hope to see you around soon!

[@takanobu3012]

That is a huge tip to change the grip of the top hand. I was told to keep the V grip and there is no way to flex the stick with it. Can you elaborate a bit more on the grip change?

[@ea8719]

Show, please, how Ovie makes slap shot during stopping front leg.

[@illlanoize23]

thanks coach!

[@MasterMe]

I loved these videos... why'd you stop making them?.. By the way, my stick is as tall as me when I'm on the ice so I do this at 7:32.

[@masonwood3310]

Master Me Your stick is supposed to be up to your nose off ice, chin on ice.

[@kevinalexander6812]

I am 38 yr old Beer Leaguer and I've played for 21 years now. I'm a righty and my left hip is very tight, sore, and arthritic all the time. As the years have gone by I've noticed it's negative effect on my slap shot. It used to be my best weapon. Now I almost never use it because it just feels F'd up in my hip & lower back when I try and my shot is weak and inaccurate now. I basically only try slappers anymore if it's a glorious one-timer opportunity. Any tips for regaining an effective slapper with a bad front hip. BTW, great videos!! Love the breakdowns.

[@prorobo]

Your hip is shot at 38? Should've hit the gym and taken care of yourself a bit more.

[@greggf6831]

Great video! Your technical points are amazing and this is what sets your instruction apart from other hockey educators. I rarely come across from such expert technical expertise in hockey, which is super important! Excellent coaching! Im an advanced player and will benefit from these tweaks. I shoot pretty hard and cant wait to tweak my shot for maximum velocity!

[@richardt82]

Slapshot question. Where would the impact on the puck be on the blade? Heel or mid?

[@newmaj1482]

+Richardt Hansen if you skip to 9:50 in the video, that should answer your question

[@TypikalKat420]

I know a lot of right handed people shoot left handed. How do they get power on their slap shots?

[@andrewp3935]

Im a lefty and Ive been watching your video, I get it right on occasion. However, most of the time my lower left hand hurt so much from slap shots. Im not sure what Im doing wrong, perhaps holding the stick wrong.

[@screenheads3812]

Try wrist training strengthening, and try a lower flex. And try your techniques without a puck to get your body used to the movement.

[@doncorleone36]

Elbows can be bent as long as they straighten out before puck contact. Actually allows for a faster wind-up. Watch Hossa's. Not like he's a Chara or Weber but he scores with that shot a LOT. I use a lot of elbow bend especially in my shooting side arm as I draw the stick back, then I extend through the shot. It's proven to be very effective for me.

[@jeffalson9785]

Gary Luciani true

[@prorobo]

Cool. What is the highest level of hockey you played?

[@mnkeeper0611]

Hey man, I’ve practiced everything you said to do in the video but I’m still struggling to get the puck off the ice. My coach says I have wicked power in my shot but I just can’t get the puck up! Do you have any tips?

[@lpb3731]

I guess just open up your blade more

[@arjuna725]

Great vids! My name is Gabriel Sean Walker!

[@itrainhockey]

Cool!

[@jpcjpc69]

[@michellegavino4482]

your good

[@MarshallBLewis]

Need Help: every slap shot I'm leaving a mark on the ice a good 10 inches behind the puck. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong cuz I continue to do it even when I try to correct it. Can anyone give me a tip? What am I probably doing wrong?

[@itrainhockey]

Hey Marshall! I’d love to be a part of your development here. Can you please send me a video of you taking 1-3 slap shots? Tag me in @iTrainHockey or send an email to [e-mail] Sean

[@Хоккейдляновичков]

Щелчок стал получаться у меня после того, как я подсмотрел здесь, что левая рука должна быть прямой!

[@itrainhockey]

Ты понял!

[@villevanhanen1629]

Nice tips I'm learning to slapshot at the age of 35

[@itrainhockey]

Right on!

[@maxwillson]

It's almost like golf

[@jamieh4148]

Except fun, interesting, exercise, not pathetic...

[@clarkenikolas]

is that an mx3 or an nxg?

[@alexeykompotolski3998]

mx3

[@jasonrekker4328]

Hi Sean, I love your videos. I use them with my son to help both of us learn. One question though, I notice that you seem to bend your arms slightly on your shots, while you instruct to keep them locked until the contact/follow through on the top hand. Also if you watch Shea Weber take a one time in this video at 2:41 his top hand arm is bent at 90 degrees while his stick is still pointing up on the windup. I am not in a position to argue with either you or Shea Weber...I just want to understand? kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGq8q5SHfq90j7c

[@xgeneralzimx]

As a golfer I can't kill my golf-swing instincts and tend to never hit the ice first, so I pick the puck cleanly and it never leaves the ground. Essentially I'm just passing the puck but making more noise doing so. Any ideas how to alleviate this? I've tried staring at the point I want to impact rather than the puck but that doesn't seem to help.

[@VivaLaaVida48]

Put the puck further in front of you.

[@generalzod8284]

Take the shot in slow motion with perfect technique 100x over before you take a full speed shot

[@dawudcharlton]

Try hitting it more towards heel,let shot to more work

[@tmuxor]

My tip is to concentrate on not doing the wrong thing. Does that help?

[@yoshpeters3079]

Pete Luisi just be like happy Gilmore then lol.

[@anonymouschange287]

That’s super helpful except you lose a lot of power from pulling your arm over your head because you have to pull back and the direction is reversed before the shot is taken

[@kellenbrennan6992]

Anonymous Change how? I don’t understand how you would lose power? That will give you more of a weight transfer, the power doesn’t come from your arms.

[@ВладимирКучерявенко-и9п]

Заебись!!! 👍 Могёт чувак!!!

[@dawudcharlton]

When did Dennis from It's Always Sunny start making hockey vids lol

[@yoshpeters3079]

Dawud Charlton he is the golden god and is the best at everything.

[@yunshansun]

❤ ❤ ❤

[@cbass9756]

Gonna will smith the puck later

[@emilybello5041]

why tf has no one ever told me not to bend my elbows

[@minnesotajack1]

Now I know why so many hockey players are good golfers and baseball players suck at it.

[@mumfordandsons123]

Musta been about neg 30 out there eh?

[@tahditon9408]

Ok now I understand. I can see that for example Patrik Laine does his slap shot wrong, since he does not keep his elbows locked when shooting. 🤭

[@jeffalson9785]

True

[@gustafdahlman8704]

Talking 15min about shooting a slapshot, that's got to be a new record.

[@xxowen2876]

I can’t flex my stick

[@itrainhockey]

Thanks very much OTgaming 123! Great to hear from you and hope this video really helped you out! No worries brother - you may not see the flex but thats okay you're still "activating" your stick by pressing into it. I use a stiff flex on my stick so I don't see much of the flex from my shots either even in my slow-mo video clips when I play them back. Trust me though, as long as the shot is really loud and your have the proper technique as shown in this video you're utilizing the flex on your stick. We'll be adding more videos directly to our new iTrain Hockey website which will be launched on May 1st. If you're interested and want me to keep you up-to-date on all the new training videos you can join our bi-weekly email newsletter list at this link or follow us @iTrainHockey or on Facebook + Twitter. itrainhockey.com/join-the-team/ Hope to chat more together soon, I'd love for you to keep in touch! - Sean Walker

[@jeffalson9785]

Neither can i

[@willholewinski9440]

i cant bend my stike my i made out of wood

[@nattyboom4444]

Watch pros take slap shots, not one of them keeps their lead arm straight.
